Gillian Anderson opened up about what it was like to return to work on “The X-Files,” just 10 days after undergoing a cesarean section during the birth of her daughter.
“I think if I didn’t feel so guilty that I got pregnant in the first season, that I might have taken better care of myself and been more thoughtful about what I needed for my best interest at the time. But I think I was so wrapped up in, ‘I almost got fired, I’ll mess this up, I’ll do whatever they say,’ You know, so yeah, 10 days after a C-section. But we’re still talking about it, right? It’s interesting. Whatever it was, 30 years ago.”
Anderson was 24 when she welcomed her first child, a daughter named Piper, with her husband at the time.
She has spoken about the experience of returning to ‘X-Files’ so quickly before.
