Courteney Cox's Slim Physique Down To Her Smoking Habit
Courteney Cox The actress played high-maintenance Monica Geller in the hit US show, which ended in 2004. Courteney and her female co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow were famed for their svelte physiques, but the 45-year-old insists she wasn’t actually that healthy.
“I never exercised during Friends – I just smoked loads of cigarettes,” she said. “Now I eat and exercise and, you know, do everything I can. I just try a lot harder than I used to.”
Courtney flashes her flesh a lot in her new show Cougar Town, in which she plays a divorcee who starts dating younger guys. She insists she doesn’t do much the night before a nude scene, and just relies on her ability to tighten her stomach muscles for long periods of time.
“I avoided salt the night before, but I didn’t go on a special diet really. I’m not that disciplined. I can’t be – I’m too hungry all the time,” she explained to Look magazine. “I just had to suck it in a little tighter!”
