Gillian Anderson – you know, her out of the X-Files and… um, nothing else – has announce a split with her husband after 16 months of blissfully disintegrating marriage.
Quite why Gillian Anderson and her soon-to-be former husband Julian Ozanne are splitting up is anyone's guess, though our guess is that Julian saw the episode of terrible mid-nineties computer cartoon ReBoot where Gillian Anderson guested as a character called Data Nully and decided that even he had standards.
Gillian Anderson, a woman probably most famous for being sexy for about a fortnight in 1997 after doing some heavy breathing on a bad techno record, has split with Julian Ozanne, her husband of 16 entire months. Are there any dark, Charlie Sheen-style divorce allegations buzzing round about Gillian and Julian? Not yet – we have to have the obligatory bland separation statement first:
"Gillian Anderson and Julian Ozanne are saddened to announce that their
marriage is at an end and they are in the process of separating. At this difficult time they request their privacy is respected. There will be no further comment."
Guess that puts Julian Ozanne firmly in the Ex-Files, doesn't it? Get it – X-Files/Ex-Files? Clever, huh? Anyone? No?
Gillian Anderson married Julian Ozanne 16 tender, probably argument-filled months ago on Lamu’s Shella island, off Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. Now they've split, Gillian Anderson is presumably left looking after her 11-year-old daughter from a previous marriage all alone. It's a tough job, but if it means that it holds off production on another X-Files film, then you'll hear no complaints from us.
The news of a Gillian Anderson split has come at the perfect time, though – directly between the news about the time when she got boozed up on a plane and the time when all of us forget about her again.
