Cox: David and I were odd together

Courteney Cox thinks she and David Arquette were an "odd pairing".

Courteney Cox thinks she and David Arquette were an "odd pairing".

The 46-year-old actress – who agreed to a trial separation with her husband last October after 11 years of marriage – claims the pair are not a perfect match for one another, much like their ‘Scream 4’ characters Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers-Riley.

When asked about Gale's relationship with Dewey in the horror movie, Courteney explained: "I love her relationship with David's character Dewey and the fact that they're together is so funny. He's so earnest and she's so out to get ahead.

"It's just a very odd pairing and so were we. Although we're not really, but we kind of are."

The 46-year-old actress admits working on the film helped to bring the pair closer again, thanks to director-and-producer Wes Craven, who is the couple's "relationship mentor".

Courteney added to Britain’s OK! magazine: "Wes was instrumental in us being together. He's kind of our mentor in relationships and in growing up. To get the chance to come back and do it again is just really fun."
