The truth is out there: Duchovny is a sex addict

DAVID DUCHOVNY, who plays a womanising writer on the television series Californication, has entered a facility for treatment of sex addiction.

Duchovny, 48, sprang to fame starring as the conspiracy-minded FBI agent Fox Mulder on Fox network’s paranormal thriller The X-Files, which spawned two big-screen spinoffs, one of which ran in theatres this summer.

He has been married since 1997 to actress Tea Leoni, with whom he has a nine-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.
