David Arquette's Personal Life


David Arquette (born September 8, 1971) is an American actor, film director, producer, screenwriter, fashion designer, and occasional professional wrestler. A member of the Arquette acting family, he first became known during the mid 1990s after starring in several Hollywood films, such as the Scream series, Wild Bill, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He has since had several television roles, including playing "Jason Ventress" on ABC's In Case of Emergency. In addition to his acting career Arquette took a brief foray into professional wrestling in early 2000, competing for World Championship Wrestling (WCW). During his tenure, Arquette would become a one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, an angle that has been cited by prominent professional wrestling commentators as being pivotal to the degradation of the title and the demise of WCW.

Arquette married actress Courteney Cox on June 12, 1999. Their only child, a daughter named Coco Riley Arquette, was born on June 13, 2004. Jennifer Aniston (Cox's Friends co-star) is Coco's godmother. On October 11, 2010, it was announced that Arquette and Cox were having a trial separation but "still love each other deeply." In an interview with Howard Stern one day later, on October 12, 2010, Arquette said that "it'd been like four months or so" since he and Cox had sex before their announced separation; when asked about Jasmine Waltz, whom Stern described as "that girl in the papers who looks like Courteney," Arquette stated, "I had sex with a girl once. Maybe twice."

Charity work
Arquette serves as Chair of the Entertainment Council for Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization.

Alcohol problems
Arquette checked into rehab for treatment of "alcohol and other issues" on January 1, 2011, shortly after celebrating New Year's Eve. On April 8, 2011 Arquette announced on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that he had reached the 100 day sober milestone.
