Courteney Cox

The famous FRIENDS star Courteney Cox also appeared on an episode with Bear Grylls for his TV series Running Wild in Kerry, Irish Highlands, Ireland.

Bear Grylls mentioned that she had to eat maggots from a sheep's carcass and it was a horrifying experience for her. But she still went all in and completed what she set out for with teary eyes.
