Gillian Anderson "Too Old" for X Files 2?

We don't believe that! But the 39-year-old film and TV star told BBC Newsbeat that filming
The X-Files: I Want to Believe was "hard work," saying, "I'm too old for this. It was a slog." (Slog? That's Brit-speak for hard work, you yanks.) Anderson added, hilariously, that co-star
David Duchovny did most of the work climbing and jumping off cliffs - but he was in the best shape of his life "because he had to bonk someone every two minutes for
Californication." Ha!
Anderson recently got to strut her stuff on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival to promote
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, her new movie with the awesome Simon Pegg (
Shaun of the Dead,
Hot Fuzz). Inevitably, she ended up talking about reprising her role as Agent Dana Scully for the second feature installment of
The X-Files. Even though she has yet to see any footage of the movie, Anderson said, "I'm excited and I hope it's good. I really hope it's good. I have faith in it. I do." No pressure, but so do the thousands of X-Files fans waiting impatiently for the July 25 premiere.
Are you getting more amped for the second movie? Do you miss Mulder and Scully like a long lost best friend, or more like a bum tooth?
