Gillian Anderson has declared that she’s now freeing herself from the cumbersome, red-mark-inducing confinement of bras.
The star of The Crown opened up about allowing her breasts to breathe during a Q&A with fans on Instagram Live earlier this week.

“I’m so lazy. And I don’t wear a bra anymore. I can’t wear a bra. I can’t, no. I can’t,” the Sex Education actor said when asked about her go-to lockdown outfit during the pandemic.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t care if … my breasts reach my belly button. I’m not wearing a bra anymore. It’s just too fucking uncomfortable,” she said.
As for her clothing of choice, Gillian said she would wear “comfortable” black trackies and a black hoodie “every day” if she could.
“[It’s] probably the same as my go-to out-of-lockdown outfit,” the actor added. “I’m so lazy.”
And although many fans on Twitter celebrated Gillian’s aversion to underwire, some complained that they’d never have that luxury.
I am a 44 DDD senior. If I tried to walk around without a bra I'd have two black eyes.

God, she’s so lucky she can do that. I can’t get away with it with these bazoombas. 😂🍈

Two things I never leave the house without, my wedding ring & a bra. My boobs are to big to go without if I don’t want people staring at my chest when I’m talking to them. At home I don’t wear them often.

Their responses are fair, but if Gillian is going to advocate for a bra-free lifestyle thanks to the comfiness it provided her during lockdown, could she also champion sweatpants and coffee-stained T-shirts?
Just asking for a friend…
