X Files star 'never' indentified with being gay '100 per cent'

Gillian Anderson – who revealed to Out Magazine in March that she's previously been in relationships with women – admits she "always knew" she still liked men during her younger years, but she wanted to see what it was like to choose to experiment with the same sex.

The 43-year-old actress said: "I was talking to Out about gays and choice, and the view that you can just choose not to be gay in some way. I decided to talk about it now because someone with whom I was in a relationship a couple of decades ago – a woman – passed away about a year ago.
