X-Files star David Duchovny has revealed that he won't let his young son watch the show for a number of years.

The actor believes that Kyd Miller is far too young to be introduced to the hit sci-fi series, but he allows him to play a special X-Files pinball game regularly.

"My son and I play The X-Files pinball game machine," David told WENN. "I brought it out of storage recently because I thought my kids are old enough to play it.

"I guess it's Hollywood to have your own pinball machine. He's never seen the show though and he won't until he's a good deal older."
