X-FILES star Gillian Anderson has surprised fans by revealing she’s stopped wearing a bra — and will never use one again.
The actress, who played Margaret Thatcher in Netflix’s The Crown and a sex therapist in Sex Education, said they were just “too f***ing uncomfortable”.
Gillian, 52, revealed her undies secret when she was asked in an interview to describe her favourite outfit worn during lockdown.
She said: “It’s probably the same one as my out of lockdown outfit — comfortable black track pants and a matching hoodie. I’d wear that every day if I could.
“I mean, I’ve gotten so lazy and I don’t wear a bra any more. I can’t wear a bra. I can’t, no, I can’t. I’m sorry.
“I don’t care if my breasts reach my belly button, I’m not wearing a bra any more. It’s just too f***ing uncomfortable.”
Gillian shot to fame in 1993 playing FBI agent and doctor Dana Scully opposite David Duchovny as Fox Mulder, in science fiction series The X-Files.
The hugely popular show ran for nine years and spawned two movies.
Gillian is now known for playing sex expert Dr Jean Milburn in Sex Education, which starts a third series in September.
Her frank admission about bras prompted a wave of support from other women.

And Mich Murph said: “I couldn’t agree with you more… First thing that comes off when I get home. When I am at home, forget it. TMI, perhaps, but I also hate pants.”
Another user added: “Gillian Anderson said how we all feel on the topic of bras.”
