David Duchovny and his costar Natascha McElhone are both grateful to be back, busily working on “Californication.” It’s a welcome distraction for both of them. Natascha suffered a terrible loss in May when her husband of ten years, Martin Kelly, died suddenly from a heart attack. She has two sons and is expecting a third child. David is recovering from the dismal reaction to his new movie “The X-Files: I want to Believe.”
Outfest held the Legacy Awards last night (a benefit to preserve gay and gay related film) and David “Californication” Duchovny was a presenter. According to a witness, he attended the event with his 8 year old daughter Madelaine and she waited in the audience when he went onstage. While he was onstage it was announced that they were about to show clips of gay moments in cinema through the years. David deadpanned “Can someone please cover my daughter’s eyes and ears?” The audience didn’t laugh – they were wide-eyed and offended. They asked each other “Did he really say that?” They were annoyed because the clips were no more sensational than clips at ANY award show – there was nothing potentially offensive. Did they overreact or was Duchovny insensitive? David left right away, apparently unaware of the stir.
