Gillian Anderson is "aging without shame." At age 48, "The X-Files" star didn't seem to have any problem showing off her toned tummy and her nipples during her stay in Portofino, Italy. In fact, her lean body indicated that she didn't age at all.

In some photos obtained by Daily Mail, Gillian ditched her bra and went makeup-free as she peeked out over a balcony on Monday, June 26. Sporting a long-sleeved crop-top and blue sweatpants, the actress flaunted her perky nipples which were exposed through the sexy top. She looked relaxed as she was spending some time off work with her partner Peter Morgan there.

The fact that Gillian successfully maintained her natural hot body in such age is remarkable. There have been speculations about her getting a surgery, but she quickly shut it down. "I don't really give a f**k," she said of the rumors. "Because I know it's not true. Let's say that I had decided to, that's my choice."

The "Johnny English Reborn" actress has sworn to age gracefully and to embrace her body no matter how old she is. Last year, she slammed surgery rumors by posting on social media a photo of her natural face. "If it weren't so sad, this bollocks would have made my day," she wrote alongside the pic. "This is how I look! #agingwithoutshame."
