Remember when Fox Mulder and Dana Scully had a baby in The X Files?

Well their son, William, was played by young twins Travis and James Riker, and they’ve turned into football-loving models.

The 14-year-olds feature heavily on their mother’s Twitter feed, but told DailyMail.com that in the 14 years since they appeared on The X Files, they haven’t actually watched an episode.

‘We have never watched the show,’ James, 14, tells DailyMail.com. ‘We’ve seen some fan footage of us from all the episodes that’s pretty cool,’ added Travis, ‘but never seen the whole show.’

‘Our aunts D’Jamila and Gihan are big fans of The X-Files and they would always tell us about it,’ said Travis, with James saying they didn’t have a clue they appeared on the show until much later.

‘We had no idea we worked on The X-Files until later. It was only when we were about seven that my mom Alyea would mention it to us every now and then’

The twins, who have appeared in Elle magazine and soon the March edition of Teen Vogue, say they will tune in when the show returns to Fox on January 24.
