Courteney Cox Reveals Botox is Part of Her Beauty Regimen

Since her star turn in the hit series “Friends,” Courteney Cox, 46, has kept a somewhat lower profile than her former co-star Jennifer Aniston. While Aniston foused on her career, Cox got married and had a child. Now, at 46, she opens up about her life.

Last year, Director Wes Craven, who helmed the successful Scream series, confirmed that Cox and, husband David Arquette would both be returning for Scream 4.

In an interview for the August issue of InStyle magazine, Cox talks about her life and her career as a 40-something actress, including the pressure to look young.

“Aging gracefully is one thing, but trying to slow it down is another,” she says.

“Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can’t move my face, and that one time I overdid it,

“I felt trapped in my own skin. I don’t have a problem with any of that stuff; if it makes you feel better about yourself and it’s done properly, then fine.”

After 14 years together, she and husband stay connected because they each know when to give the other space.

“We each have all the freedom in the world, which makes for a very comfortable relationship,” she explains.

“It’s easy for people to just coexist, especially when you have such different interests and work lives. You have to make an effort to stay connected, and that’s something we work at.”

“We’ve done couples therapy in the past. We’re not lazy about our marriage.. “We have the same arguments we’ve had for years.”

Before “Friends,” Courteney reveals that she once considered getting out of acting after her father suggested the idea.

“My dad thought I should get out. It was right before I got Friends, and I probably had a month to go before I was completely broke,’ she says.

‘I used to add up all my money in the bank and divide it by months or weeks depending on how bad things were. At one point my dad
called me and said, ‘You have always been a great salesman. I think it’s time you come home and sell swimming pools.’”

But she says she never really entertained the thought.

I don’t think I would ever quit acting, but there are other things I am interested in. I wanted to be an architect, and I wish I knew more about landscaping. I think I’d be a good therapist too.

Maybe I could start a little group therapy thing.”
