David Duchovny Left Mum Traumatised By Early Film
Actor David Duchovny's mother was left "traumatised" after checking out one of his early films, in which her son appeared naked and was killed.
The X-Files star now takes more care to steer his mum away from harrowing scenes - and admits he has warned her not to watch his racy TV drama Californication.
He says, "I did a movie called The Rapture a long time ago and I was naked in that and I got killed and it traumatised her.
"It was one of my first jobs, so of course I was very proud of it and I wanted her to go and see it... and it didn't occur to me that maybe it's not cool for a parent to go and see her son get murdered.
"I was like, 'How did you like the movie?' and she said, 'I thought it was fine, but I can't go see you if you get naked or you get killed.'"
And he's keen for his kids with ex-wife Tea Leoni not to see Californication - until after he's dead.
He adds, "I'm gonna put it in a time capsule and when I'm dead... It's gonna be, like, in my will - 'Now you can watch Californication. This is how you went through college.'"
