This is absolutely true. But also, Gillian Anderson is even more attractive now than she was when X-Files started - that woman has aged like fine wine! Which makes it a doubly stupid thing for the executives to be saying.

If you click through to the original interview it was something they said during casting for the original.

She was an unknown actor and the execs wanted a Pamela Anderson (Baywatch era) style female lead.

Oh yeah... The Fall, American Gods, Sex Education. She just kept getting more and more gorgeous.
