    Aug 20 2024

    David Arquette (SCREAM, NEVER BEEN KISSED, THE GOOD HALF) shares how he has blended his diverse passions into a one-of-a-kind career to form his own community of belonging, from his unexpected past as a graffiti artist and breakdancer, to becoming a certified Bob Ross painter, Professional Wrestler, and Clown Enthusiast!

    He reveals what it was like to grow up off the grid in a religious commune as the youngest of the famous Arquette acting dynasty, his parents' challenging pasts, and his complex relationship with his mom (who earned her therapist certification on her deathbed!).

    Hear how starring in the original SCREAM movie not only skyrocketed his career but also led to his iconic meeting with Courteney Cox, the effects of their high-profile marriage, why his struggle with substance use worsened after their divorce, and what he ultimately learned about himself and his triggers from their relationship.

    In honor of International Clown Week, Mayim and David delve into the quirky world of clowning — covering everything from its history, people's fears of clowns, and "Clown Code of Conduct" to David’s groundbreaking plans for the clown industry (including owning the rights to Bozo the Clown!). They also detail David's wrestling journey - why fans hated him, his near-death “deathmatch” experience, and the science behind pro wrestling’s toll on your nervous system.
