Gillian Anderson loves London

Gillian Anderson has revealed that she loves living in London, because it allows her to relax and avoid being hassled.

"It's easier to be myself here," Breakingnews.ie quotes the former X-Files actress as saying.

"I can go out wearing whatever the hell I want, no matter how ridiculous it looks. If I do that in America, people look at me like I'm insane.

"There are aspects of the British press which are very intrusive, but then you'll go to a premiere and someone will ask permission to take a photo, and when you say, 'That's enough,' they'll back off.

"In the States, you go to a restaurant and there are people lined up outside with eight-by-10s [publicity shots] of you."
