David Arquette suffers nervous breakdown

David Arquette suffers nervous breakdown

Actor David Arquette is said to be suffering from a nervous breakdown as a result of his rocky marriage to Friend's star Courteney Cox.


The Hollywood royalty announced that they were taking a break from their 11 year marriage in October and taking some time to work on their personal problems.


Arquette has since gone public with his troubles on the radio, telling his pal Howard Stern that the actress was fed up with his immaturity.


He also confirmed rumours he had slept with aspiring actress Jasmine Waltz after the separation, and confessed live on air he hadn't been intimate with Cox in "like four months".


The Scream actor has also admitted on air again on Wednesday the love split has left him a wreck.


When asked by Stern if he's "having a nervous breakdown", he replied, "I believe so."


Arquette also admitted he has turned to a psychiatrist to discuss his issue in weekly sessions adding: "Everybody is worried and concerned about me."


He also has been turning to alcohol to drown his sorrows and confessed to making a fool out of himself at Adam Sandler's recent holiday party.


He said: "I was a little wasted. Someone says 'Hi David!', and I said, 'Hi Sean! Then I realised it was Tom Cruise. And his beautiful wife (Katie Holmes) was there. Tom was cool about it... I was so embarrassed. I was like 'I gotta get the f**k out of here.'"


This cringe-worthy incident has made Arquette vow to turn his life around and stop drinking in a bid to win back the mother of his little daughter Coco: "I've been drinking a lot because I'm heartbroken. It's really a personal, traumatic thing. When I drink, I become a maniac. When you wake up and reality hits you, it's hard.


"(Cox) didn't want to be my mother. But I kind of need a mother... I want love in my life. I need love in my life."
