The Golden-Globe-award-winning actor while filming for 'The Joneses' with Moore, protested when a scene required the two actors to lock their lips, Contactmusic reported online.
"She had a horrible cold. I said, 'I do not want to kiss this woman!'," Duchovny said.
However,the 49-year-old actor's complains went in vain as he eventually had to risk his health and kiss the actress, who is married to Ashton Kutcher. "I got sick too...She (Moore) owes me!," Duchovny added.
