Gillian Anderson is a Rock Star. If you have not watched Sex Education on Netflix, it's amazing. Every single person in it is an amazing actor. She is legit, a feminist, lovely, intelligent and a positive role model in Hollywood, and there are so few of those who are real. She is the real deal. Thank you, Gillian for being an inspiration and for removing the shame from women's bodies.
She was also simply fabulous in The Fall, as detective superintendent Stella Gibson. She totally embodied sort of "soft power" in that role. She didn't need to be loud or shout about her expertise to secure her authority. Journalist Amy Sullivan called The Fall "The Most Feminist Show on Television", writing: "Refreshingly, none of the tropes we've been trained to expect in a story about a powerful woman play out. Nobody resents Gibson's appearance on the scene or questions her authority. Her gender is a non-issue; subordinates hop to when she enters a room and they follow her commands without question. Gibson doesn't try to submerge her femininity and stomp around barking out orders. In Anderson's restrained yet compelling performance, Gibson is cool, calm, and always chic, with the most fabulous coat in detectivedom."
Before people start asking and commenting - Gillian is bidialectal (proficient in or using two dialects of the same language). Her accent will change depending on her surroundings. It’s natural to her. She is NOT bilingual which is speaking two LANGUAGES fluently. She is able to speak two different DIALECTS. Same concept. 🥰 Hope that clears things up.
@@danielakeller7532 oh I’m 100% certain of it but I thought I’d get in there before to hopefully minimise it 😂 I’m asking a lot of the internet I’m aware
@@b-dub6865 exactly. She’s speaking naturally. And when she does uk talk shows of which there are TH-cam videos she’s also speaking naturally. It’s just her voice able to switch between dialects. John barrowman can also do it, although he does it between Scottish and American English. She’s not putting any effort. It IS her voice. She hasn’t been taught
I was 9 years old when X-Files was airing and Gilian was my whole reason for watching and whenever I see her videos online I click immediately and become that 9 year old again… YEAH!!!
@@qing-jaohan8641 no, he knew when to stop...he walks a thin line about many things, most nights. Stephen has great discernment. Haha! Although, recently he did brag about "making out" with Helen Mirren to '50 Cent'. Who has a crush on her. (If you didn't catch it, Helen planted one on Stephen & Stephen turned red heheh!).
There are questions for conversation starters at parties. One is first celebrity crush. Many people give Gillian Anderson credit in helping them determine their sexual orientation.
Radiant! Yup, that's the word I was looking for. That's the primary thing that makes her attractive. It's not just beauty, it's this light that makes me like her as much now as I did back when I was a middle schooler admiring agent Scully.
I am a huge X-Files fan. Went to my friends and we all huddled around the TV to watch every episode. Gillian has taken great care of herself. Classy as ever. Who ever thought there would be someone prettier than Mulder who would steal the spotlight..LOL!
Kudos to the actor willing to play Andrew - that is one of those roles that could follow you around for the rest of your days. Which is precisely how Charles feels about Andrew ;)
6:52 Gillian: “How high can you kick?” Evie: “-Oh, you don’t wanna know!” Should one interpret that as a threat from Colbert’s wife,..!? 😲 And it was cut!! 😅 People missed this,.. 😂
In an interview with Scott Lawrence, she explained that growing up in both America and the UK means that her accent is liable to change depending on who she’s talking to. “It goes back and forth because I grew up in both places, so it depends who I’m talking to,”
I have always loved this woman. From X-Files to her most recent work she's done great work, and IRL she is just so damned cool. Brava Ms Anderson - you are an inspiration!
She is interesting and adorable. Colbert was smitten but withdrew when thinking about his wife that was in his sphere of vision. Great actress beautiful women and not shy to talk about sex. Too bad when he runs out of time when it gets interesting, spontaneously. Should do what Carson did. Skip the next guest and invite them another day.
@@gentlehorst I just posted a comment about her performance in the Fall! Possibly my favorite portrayal of a confident, accomplished, powerful woman in a modern context.
Random info for you - Emily Maitlis (who Gillian is playing here) is the same person that MTG told to f*ck off in an interview that went viral a couple of weeks back.
OMG, how does she do it? Gillian Anderson just gets more beautiful with age! She’s gone from that cute frumpy on the X-Files to a goddess! I remember watching an episode of Hannibal were she had this beautiful backless dress on and thinking “ what an incredible back!” Then I thought I’ve never thought about a back before. I mean she was ripped, it was amazing! It must be living in the UK. Clean country living. No election tension to put up with!
She acted in perhaps one of the most clever sci-fi movies, unfortunately called UFO. I think she's way too smart and she's trolling us since the very beginning.
During her childhood, she lived in north London's Simpsons had episode about Britain called The Regina Monologues. If it was from male perspective, stand-up been called ReX-files :))))

I recently watched all the X-Files again haha, love it!
I agree. Just finished binge watching Sex Education on Netflix.
How did I not know about that show?!!! Thank you!
Straight up
She is incredibly awesome. The full package. Talent, beauty, intelligence, a great sense of humor and very cool.
I love how relaxed she is now! What a fun interview. Please have her on more more more Stephen!
This lady just gets more and more beautiful.
facts
She’s pretty old if you can believe it. But apparently just being a fun, jovial person can keep you young.
It's called plastic surgery.
Maybe so, but she still hit that……. with my peeeenis glavin
I said the same thing to myself
She sat in my truck in a Vancouver rainstorm between takes on the set of the XFiles we had a lovely conversation

Yes, thank you, but i'm sure there will still be a lot of comments about it again, although it's been the case for twenty years now.

My mum always used to do the same... born in the US to Irish parents, but then grew up and lived in the UK. Even after decades it still threw me!
she's a real hero to anyone who grew up in the 90s!
She’s a real hero, full stop :)
❤️
All those years not recognizing what an absolute QUEEN Gillian Anderson is...
Like another "Anderson", SHE IS THE ONE! 😍
underrated comment
who, louie or pamela?
@@monicad99 think he means Thomas... as in Neo
@@swiftigoth oh, that went right over my head! yeah, it’s obvious.
Its great to see Gillian almost surprised at her reception
Youre a classy lady ❤ reception deserved
I was 9 years old when X-Files was airing and Gilian was my whole reason for watching and whenever I see her videos online I click immediately and become that 9 year old again… YEAH!!!
My suits are because of her.
Huge fan of x files
Love her voice in Mononoke
Love Gillian anytime ❤
oh my. Truly wonderful to see and hear this interview. such a talent
One of my favorite ladies of all time. The absolute beautiful and gorgeous Gillian Anderson.
She just keeps getting better as she gets older
And more beautiful !
@@jonathanneil5901 So true
She's getting older? Pahh 😉
Yea, what’s up with that? She’s pretty damn decent!
The aliens must have augmented her 👽
Scully aged like wine.
So she is sour ? 😂😂🤣🤣👎👎
@@pietjepuk9575 No, you're dumb
@@pietjepuk9575 giggle giggle
Gillian to Evie: "How high can you kick?"
Evie: "Oh you don't wanna know."
LMAO, fantastic response, lol!
Thank you, I needed subtitles. :)
Epic exchange!
Priceless 😅
Evie asserting dominance. Stephen was a little too gaga over Gillian's sex fantasy.
@@qing-jaohan8641 no, he knew when to stop...he walks a thin line about many things, most nights. Stephen has great discernment. Haha!

I've seen Gillian on stage in Streetcar... Magnificent!
Samee
What a fun interview. She can be quite a hoot, and that matched up well with Colbert's "hootieness".
After like 25yrs I still find her so attractive and consistently awesome personality.
She doesn't age. This should be an X-File!
She looks amazing, but she looks old. She definitely looks much different and way older. It's just you
@@morbidmanmusic no hater. It's you.
Lol
😂❤
She’s aged, and that’s okay. She gets more beautiful as she gets older. The fine lines on her face only enhance her beauty.
I love that she hasn’t gotten any dramatic cosmetic enhancements, and is confident and sexy just as she is. Inspiring
Yes! She still looks exactly like herself! What a concept
Yes God save the British actresses for not destroying their faces to be unrecognizable ,Hollywood can learn a little here…
@@adelaferreira4575 Oh I can think of a few Brits that have, they're not especially immune to the pressures by any means.
She was my teen crush in X-files and still remains my crush in adulthood. She's perfect.
Same!
Same! (though more like 20s crush, because she and I are just a couple months apart in age)
Her laugh melts my heart😍
My favorite performances by her include as Margaret Thatcher and as the London cop in The Fall.
There are questions for conversation starters at parties. One is first celebrity crush. Many people give Gillian Anderson credit in helping them determine their sexual orientation.
what a badass, and what a lovely surprise appearance by Evie!!
Gillian vibing with Evie is not something I knew I needed 😂😍
I want a spin-off of them chatting over tea
The crush I've had on her since X-Files is still going strong.
Stephen breaking out the pen is priceless 😂
and licking it, too
@@d1ni1mueterLetterman used to do that. He's imitating Letterman.
Aaahhhh...agent dana scully. My fav aliens hunter
She even 'Woops' with elegance.
Gillian is so radiant and lovely.

We love gillian Anderson and stephen colbert
LOVE LOVE Gillian Anderson!!! Thanks for having her on.
Kudos to the actor willing to play Andrew - that is one of those roles that could follow you around for the rest of your days. Which is precisely how Charles feels about Andrew ;)
It was Rufus Sewell who has done tons of movies and tv work - great actor
He’s done far better roles.
@@nicolad8822 no argument from me - I'm simply saying that Andrew is an iconic character for all the wrong reasons.
It was so shocking that Sewell played him! He is a charmer if there ever was one. Great actor too!
When a British woman is beautiful, she is absolutely gorgeous!
She’s not British. She’s American.
Gillian is phenomenal! 👏🏻❤️
6:52 Gillian: “How high can you kick?”
Evie: “-Oh, you don’t wanna know!”
Should one interpret that as a threat from Colbert’s wife,..!? 😲 And it was cut!! 😅
People missed this,.. 😂
I laughed like a horse, when I heard it
Lets just say that Colbert is sleeping on the couch tonight
Evie has got some fight in her!
Super fuckin funny!
Her accent slips from American to British
In an interview with Scott Lawrence, she explained that growing up in both America and the UK means that her accent is liable to change depending on who she’s talking to.
“It goes back and forth because I grew up in both places, so it depends who I’m talking to,”
The best thing about Gillian Anderson's dress: it had pockets!
Stephen Colbert knew he was out on thin ice there by the end! xD
So. Cool. Gillian Anderson, you’re seriously inspiring!
Such a fun interview!
There's definitely an X-file somewhere about how she manages to grow more and more beautiful with age.
Love her! Love him! Brilliant interview
She gets better with age.
Charismatic.
Honestly back in the X-Files days i didn't get it - but i do now
"How high can you kick? - Oh you don't want to know!"
Gillian is an icon. Period.
A great artist.she was so much fun on Sex Education!
Staples “I’ll take you there “ Love the band
She is great... smart and funny! Wish I laughed like her, so infectious 🙂I'll have to catch up on her post-X-Files work. Great show 🙂
She is amazing, so beautiful.
Holy crap the makeup on Rufuss Sewell
Huge xfiles fan and always love to see gillian
Gilian Anderson's portrayal of Margaret Thatcher on "The Crown" was sheer perfection.
I have always loved this woman. From X-Files to her most recent work she's done great work, and IRL she is just so damned cool. Brava Ms Anderson - you are an inspiration!
If she's not under "To be worshipped" she definitely should be.
She is interesting and adorable. Colbert was smitten but withdrew when thinking about his wife that was in his sphere of vision. Great actress beautiful women and not shy to talk about sex. Too bad when he runs out of time when it gets interesting, spontaneously. Should do what Carson did. Skip the next guest and invite them another day.
Gillian's letter is definitely in the "Kink and Fetish" chapter.
Watch the series "The Fall", please

Ohhhh one and the same! Nice spot, missed that one. Yes, asking MTG about Jewish Space Lasers lol
I've watched the Newsnight interview multiple times, it's wild :)
What a GEM 💎!
Love me some Gillian
god i love this woman so much
Anyone else love scoop’s Gillian?
She looks amazing
I've watched her from Xfiles to American Gods, the Crown... she is AMAZING
OMG, how does she do it? Gillian Anderson just gets more beautiful with age! She’s gone from that cute frumpy on the X-Files to a goddess! I remember watching an episode of Hannibal were she had this beautiful backless dress on and thinking “ what an incredible back!” Then I thought I’ve never thought about a back before. I mean she was ripped, it was amazing! It must be living in the UK. Clean country living. No election tension to put up with!
She acted in perhaps one of the most clever sci-fi movies, unfortunately called UFO. I think she's way too smart and she's trolling us since the very beginning.
Hannah Waddingham and Gillian in the same week. You are spoiling the women loving women.
Her role as Margaret Thatcher in The Queen was genius... Oscar worthy❤❤❤
Very interesting coincidence, I just started rewatching the X files not too long ago.....perhaps Colbert knew? 🤔
I grew up watching files but she's surprisingly hotter now!
She's stunning.
HANNIBALS GIRL, MULDERS PARTNER, LEGEND
Anderson is wicked smart, wicked talented. Just the GOAT.
Her fantasy had to include David Duchovny.
That is one hella pretty dress - even sitting down it's lovely.
During her childhood, she lived in north London's Simpsons had episode about Britain called The Regina Monologues. If it was from male perspective, stand-up been called ReX-files :))))
My god she looks beautiful!
This was so funnyyyy!
Very good casting for the part of Emily Matlis. A superb actor, beautiful woman, and interesting personality.
My heart just stopped….nice entrance 🤟💞
She is hot in such a unique way. Was funny to read that network execs on X-Files wanted Pamela Anderson to be Scully. Pam OK, but not for X-Files.
I think that couch has its own aura that turns guests into "Yeah!"
She made me sing to myself, by doing this interview.
I love how Gillian Anderson is morphing into this generation's Meryl Streep. They look so much alike.
An out of touch Hollywood liberal sellout.
Omg I just fucking love her!!
I’m a massive fan. Will always watch everything she does. LOOKING GORGEOUS AS EVER!❤
This woman does not age.
"OH you don't want to know"
Ideal dress for Alotta Fagina in one of the Austin Powers movies! It also works for the original James Bond PG.
The real interview had real drama
She is a old punk rocker, look it up. 😊
The clip of that movie is proof of what I might watch if I had insomnia.
I was faced with a fork in the road : Buffy or Xfilez. I chose the filez. If only I had chosen Buffy, we wouldn’t be having this monologue.
800 submitted stories out of 8,000 who started? - So you're saying that not all the women finished?
There were two famous red carpets that day. 😄
I just tried to google the dress. I got to Gillian Anderson and vulva dressed popped up.... how did I miss this??
She submitted under the "More, more, more!" section.
The thumbnail looks like Stephen has dragon breath
