X-Files star David Duchovny believes in real-life aliens.
The actor thinks it is impossible Earth is the only planet hosting intelligent life. The 63-year-old, best known for his role as FBI alien-hunter Fox Mulder in the sci-fi show and film spin-offs, stressed even though he thinks humans aren’t alone in the universe he does not believe extra-terrestrials are secretly in touch with us.
He said during a question-and-answer session: “The proposition that Earth is the only planet in the universe that has managed to sustain intelligent life seems an impossibility.

“On the other hand, do I believe we’ve been contacted or are in contact with aliens? I don’t believe that, no.”

David added about the chance of returning to screens as Special Agent Mulder: “How often do I get asked if they are going to reboot The X-Files? I mean, that’s the default question people like to ask.
“If I was going to do it, I’d let y’all know.
“You wouldn’t have to ask me. I wouldn’t keep it a secret.
“Nowadays, I think people believe in conspiracies we never would have aired because they were just too stupid.”

David’s most recent film, ‘Reverse the Curse, was directed by the actor and features him starring as grouchy father Marty, whose son Ted moves in with him as he battles terminal cancer.
He’s also recently published novels and is set to play the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on July 27 and the UK’s Latitude festival on July 28.
But David says one thing he has no intention of doing is returning to Yale University to finish his PhD.

The Hollywood veteran – who earned a Master of Arts in English Literature from Yale and began work on a doctoral thesis with the title ‘Magic and Technology in Contemporary Fiction and Poetry’ – said when asked if there was any chance of him finishing it: “It’s not like you can just go blindly off and write a PhD dissertation. It would take two or three years of intense focus.
“The many things I’m doing, I’m trying to do well.
“If I added that into the mix, I’d probably screw everything up.”
