Addiction Made it Easier to Be Human & Surviving a Near Fatal Wrestling Death Match, with David Arquette!

单集简介 ...

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.  AND Did You Know....Mayim and David not only worked together on BLOSSOM, but they were also supposed to work together on a second project before David was rushed to the hospital with a heart attack on filming day?! He opens up about that life-altering heart attack and how it led to his big life changes, his struggles with imposter syndrome and the ego-crushing nature of fame, the origins of his addictions and how they made it easier for him to be a human, and his experience with ketamine therapy (plus his reservations about it as someone who has struggled with addiction). We also unpack his daily mindfulness practices, his belief that kindness can heal societal divides, and we get a sneak peek into his latest film role where he plays a narcissist and how it reflects his own personal growth.
