The “raunchy” 2000 scene Gillian Anderson never got to shoot: “The greatest sex in the world”They say you miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take, but despite taking it several years in advance, Gillian Anderson was still denied the chance to shoot a scene that everyone, her included, clearly, desperately wanted to see. The difference between them was that, unlike the stoic embodiment of early 1990s Americana, The X-Files unwittingly transformed Anderson into a sex symbol. Not to be too blunt, but the question was, “When are Mulder and Scully going to fuck?” “With a half-hour foreplay, and then raunchy sex, with everything from chandeliers over our heads! Anderson acknowledged that a full-on sex scene between Mulder and Scully “would spoil the chemistry” between the characters, but she also pointed out that “the producers know this and have banned any romance.”
