David Duchovny admits to sex addiction.
David Duchovny’s got plenty of sex on TV, but in real life it’s an absolute addiction. E! News reported that the former X-Files star has officially admitted himself to a rehab program for sex addiction. Ironically, the treatment follows closely Duchovny’s 2008 Golden Globe for his role as an “over-sexed struggling writer” in the Showtime series, Californication. According to E!, the actor has been combating rumors of such an addiction since 1997, the same year he married actress Tea Leoni, who is still his wife, and with whom he now has two children. Daughter Madelaine is 9 and son Kyd is 6. Duchovny reportedly denied a sex addiction in an interview with Playgirl that year. Leoni backed up her husband’s denial in an interview with Elle a year later. However, according to the New York Daily News, on a press tour in July, Duchovny told the media about a hot sauna scene with his wife while on vacation in Vancouver. “We were just all over each other - the sauna wasn't going to stop me, and I recovered pretty quickly,” he reportedly said. MSNBC said the actor’s current rehab stint was revealed by his lawyer, Larry Stein, in a statement to Access Hollywood.
