X-Files star David Duchovny has told of his love of kilts – but admits he always wears pants when he goes out in his Scottish outfit.The movie star said that because his mum Margaret is from Aberdeen, he felt he was “allowed” to wear a kilt.The 63-year-old, who played alien-hunting FBI agent Fox Mulder alongside Gillian Anderson’s Dana Scully, in the sci-fi show said he found kilts “very comfy”.The dad of two said, however, that he never goes “commando” because he is worried he’d accidentally flash someone and that it would get caught on camera and “go viral”.He said: “My mother was Scottish, so I’ve worn a tartan that I’m allowed to wear, through her background.“I’m not just throwing on a kilt willy-nilly.

I’m respecting the tradition. I do enjoy wearing them, they’re a comfortable article of clothing.”He said of not going commando: “No underpants?

When that tradition was founded, there was no internet. I prefer to wear underpants and not have a stupid viral moment.”It is said a “true Scotsman” wears nothing beneath his kilt – referred to as “going regimental” or “going native”.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
