YUNGBLUD also responded to the video and the actress’s mention by sharing, ‘THE courteney cox.’ 

Last month in June, Courteney rung in her 61st birthday – and she previously opened up about aging and using facial fillers. 

‘Thinking I was getting older when I was really young, that’s just a bummer, a waste of time,’ she said about getting fillers as she grew older during an episode of the Gloss Angeles podcast in 2023. 

‘It’s a domino effect, it’s like you don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more cause you look normal to yourself.’ 

Cox added, ‘You look in the mirror and go, “Oh, that looks good,” you think, and you don’t realize what it looks like to the outside person and just doing too many fillers and having to have them removed. 

‘Which thank God they are removable, I think I messed up a lot and now luckily I can, I was able to reverse most of that, now I’m actually just older.’ 

Also last month, Courteney had the chance to celebrate her daughter Coco’s 21st birthday. 

She shares Coco with ex-husband David Arquette – whom she was married to from 1999 until their divorce was finalized in 2013.

‘Keep it coming Co to the Lo. I’m so happy I’m your Bourt Lemon. Happy birthday. I love you so much ♥️♥️♥️.’ 

Her daughter jumped to the comment section to respond with, ‘I love you so so much my momma.’
