Gillian Anderson Ditches 'Uncomfortable' Bras: 'Don't Care If My Breasts Reach My Belly Button'
No bra is no problem for Gillian Anderson!
The 52-year-old actress opened up about her aversion to the undergarment during a Q&A with fans on Instagram Live Tuesday.
"I don't wear a bra anymore. I don't wear a bra. I can't wear a bra. I can't, no. I can't," The Crown star said, when asked about her go-to lockdown outfit during the coronavirus pandemic. "I'm sorry, but I don't care if I reach my belly button, my breasts reach my belly button. I'm not wearing a bra anymore. It's just too f------ uncomfortable."
As for her clothing of choice, Anderson said she would wear "comfortable" black track pants and a black hoodie "every day" if she could.
"[It's] probably the same as my go-to out-of-lockdown outfit," the actress added. "I'm so lazy."
