David Duchovny

This is unusual news.

Actor David Duchovny has entered rehab for his sex addiction.

Duchovny, 48, said he did it voluntarily, in a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein. He added: “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

Ironically, David plays a sex-obsessed character on Showtime’s “Californication.”

“All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time,” the network said in a statement.

The second season of “Californication” begins Sept. 28.

He and his wife, actress Tea Leoni, have two children. The couple married in 1997.

If David is a sex addict then he likely cheated on his wife, however, it sounds like she is sticking with him for the time being.

We’re not sure what to say about this.  Get well???
