Actor David Duchovny has completed a rehabilitation programme for sex addiction.

Duchovny, former star of the X-Files films and TV series, is married to actress Tea Leoni and has two children.

The actor's admission to a rehab facility for treatment of sex addiction was revealed by his attorney, Stanton Stein, in late August.

In a statement Stanton said Duchovny "has successfully completed rehabilitation."

He added: "He is out and will very soon begin work on his new movie."

Stein declined to say where the actor had been treated or when he left the centre.

In January, Duchovny won a Golden Globe Award as best actor in a comedy for his role as Hank Moody, an oversexed single dad and novelist struggling with writer's block in the TV series Californication.

Duchovny, 48, is set to star in a film called The Joneses scheduled for release next year.
