You may know David Duchovny as Fox Mulder, one of the two FBI agents from the television series X Files. The movie came out this summer with an apathetic fanfare. Now, Duchovny, 48, has followed the footsteps of so many other Hollywood stars and entered rehab.
But he’s not an alcoholic or cocaine junkie. Duchovny has a sex addiction.
In an ironic twist, this year Duchovny won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of a sex-addicted struggling writer on Californication. Sometimes, life imitates art.
Duchovny is asking for people to respect his privacy at this time. It has been a difficult time for him, his wife Téa Leoni, and their two children.
Back in 1998, Leoni squashed rumors of her husband’s high libido. “David was accused of being a sex addict,” she said. “Which I always found very exciting. And then I found out it wasn’t true.”
Apparently, I Want to Believe turned into ‘the truth is out there’.
