Californication Insider

David Duchovny, the main protagonist of the Californication TV series, seems to remain hesitant about tennis. Not sure if you all remember about the highly publicized relationship between Duchovny and his tennis instructor, Edit Pakay.

This episode happened back in 2008, when David was accused by media that he was involved in an affair with his 28-year-old Hungarian tennis partner.

However both sides immediatley rejected the rumors. The intensity of their denial and especially of Edit Pakay’s one surprised a lot of people. Many judged that by her insisted denying attempts Edit managed only to drag herself even deeper into this story.

David Duchovny, alias Hank Moody in the Californication show, seems to have also got some strange kind of allergy to tennis since this highly unwanted publicized story. Just to mention that Duchovny was already split from his wife Tea Leoni, before this story with Edit Pakay surfaced.

Duchovny has been rarely seen playing or watching tennis in public since. He might also check or watch tennis online though. Live tennis is now available for everyone online too.
