Courteney Cox-Arquette Dishes on Coco's Celebrity Crush

As a celebrity mom, Courteney Cox-Arquette isn’t afraid to call in a favor or two on behalf of daughter Coco Riley, 5. The best laid plans often go awry, however — which Courteney recently learned after arranging for actor Zac Efron to make a surprise visit to their California home.
“Coco gets these crushes on these young guys, these huge crushes,” the 45-year-old Cougar Town actress explained during a recent visit to The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. “She just loves him.” Together with husband David Arquette, Courteney had the video camera rolling when Zac finally arrived — but Coco’s response was not what the couple had been hoping for!
“We told her to close her eyes, and then ‘Open them now! Open them now!’ And then there he is. She freaked out, just totally traumatized, and ran into her room.”
Courteney’s own reaction was surprising as well, and it soon became apparent that mother and daughter have much in common! “I looked at Zac, and I was like, he’s hot,” she concedes. “I was so attracted to him but I went into [Coco's] room and I wanted to console her.”
When Coco made it apparent that she would not leave her room, Courteney joked that it wasn’t exactly unwelcome news. “I didn’t need the competition,” she kidded, “and I let her stay in there. [Zac] didn’t stay that long, just like, 8 hours.”
Courteney’s new show Cougar Town airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.
