Dol op Courteney Cox? Ja, ik ook. Niet alleen als Monica Geller in Friends was ze héérlijk, ook buiten de camera's om is ze de vriendin die iedereen wil hebben.

Dat Courteney nog steeds haar heerlijke, eerlijke zelf is, bewijst ze tijdens de nieuwe aflevering van Running Wild with Bear Grylls waarin ze een boekje open doet over haar cosmetische ingrepen. Want tja, we konden allemaal zien dat Monica toch een béétje veranderd is.

Beste zonde, ze was immers al zo prachtig. En dat vindt Courteney ook. De actrice laat weten dat ze spijt heeft van bepaalde ingrepen:

'I think there's a pressure to maintain [your looks] not just because of fame, but just being a woman in this business. Getting older, I don't think that's the easiest thing. But I have learned lessons. I think I was trying to keep up with getting older and trying to chase that. It's something you can't keep up with.'

Ze vervolgt:

'Sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a picture of yourself and you go, 'Oh God, I look horrible!' I have done things that I regret and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away. So that's good because it's not always been my best look.'

Daarnaast is de 52-jarige Courteney in de aflevering ook zeer openhartig over haar scheiding van David Arquette:

'We found ourselves living separate lives and just coexisting and being great friends, but not having the intimacy that is so important in a relationship. I think you really need to work in a relationship, and I think that we tried. We're just really different, too. I'm the polar opposite of him. And that can be great for a lot of things, but I need this kind of real, one-on-one connection.'

Gelukkig is ze nu heel gelukkig met vriendlief Johnny McDaid en vertelt ze hoe haar relatie met hem is veranderd sinds ze hun verloving cancelden en afgelopen maart toch weer bij elkaar kwamen:

'I definitely have learned a lot, and no matter what, I will be a better person from that breakup, even though it was so brutal. Everything's new, and we have both really worked on ourselves on the parts that needed the most attention. And it feels really different.'
