Never grow up: Gillian Anderson admits she hasn’t fully grown up yet

Gillian Anderson doesn’t think she has “grown-up” yet.

The 53-year-old actress has admitted she is similar to her Sex Education character Dr Jean Milburn – a sex therapist – in that she is still “not sorted” and is still trying to “behave more responsibly and adult-like.”

GILLIAN ANDERSON DOESN’T FEEL ‘SORTED’

Anderson told Jane Garvey on The Radio Times podcast:

“I’m definitely not sorted, and I’m not sure I ever thought I would be sorted.”

“I experienced [not feeling sorted] in my own life, particularly I think amongst my girlfriends. I don’t think it’s uncommon for adults at any point to still feel like they’re not grown up yet,” she says.

“That’s what’s great about the show … it shows human beings at whatever age trying to behave, trying to change their behaviour, [trying to] adjust and behave more responsibly and adult-like – to some degree, even in if we’re in our 50s we’re all still trying to do that.”

ANDERSON BANNED HER KIDS FROM WATCHING SEX EDUCATION

The Crown star – who has Piper, 26, with Clyde Klotz, as well as Felix, 12, and Oscar, 14, with Mark Griffiths – also revealed she banned her kids from watching the explicit Netflix show.

Anderson added: “I have to say I am living happily in the denial that my children do not watch the show.”

Garvey asked: “So you don’t know whether they’ve watched it or not, or you hope they haven’t?”

To which, she replied: “I hope they haven’t … When it first came out, I told them they weren’t allowed to. I have no control over what they do at their friends’ houses. I have no control over what their friends show them.”
