David Arquette may be sober now, but told Oprah Winfrey during an interview which will air Thursday: “I must have been four years old [when I drank alcohol the first time]. I was down in the basement with my dad and the beer was there and I just grabbed it and drank it. I remember that. It’s one of my earliest memories.” 

That early start lead to a recent intervention of which he tells Oprah: “I came back from Miami and I had taken a nap and I woke up and [sister] Patricia and [his estranged wife] Courteney [Cox] were at my bed. I was like, ‘What are you two doing here together?'”

Courtney and Patricia were there, along with many others waiting in the living room who were concerned about his well-being.

“My best friend was there, my business partner and some guy I don’t know, and I go, ‘What up, turkeys? I guess this is my intervention.'” 

And definitely better late than never for Arquette, who reveals that he had his first drink of beer when he was barely out of diapers.

“I must have been four years old,” he says. “I was down in the basement with my dad and the beer was there and I just grabbed it and drank it. I remember that. It’s one of my earliest memories.”

Arquette also addresses the rumors that ran rampant of him partying it up this past New Year’s Eve.

“I was sober…at the event,” he insists. “I went there because it was something I was planning on doing and wanted to see if I could do it sober, if I could still entertain and dance around, and I could and I had a great time. That’s an example of the tabloids getting it wrong.”

Here’s hoping Arquette continues to get it right.

Owen Wilson Retells Story Of His Surfing Accident

Owen Wilson told Jay Leno during his appearance on The Tonight Show Tuesday that he received 24 stitches to his head after a recent surfing accident in Hawaii.

“I took on a wave that was probably too big for me. I went off the back and the board kinda caught air and the board came back and hit me in the forehead and I got 24 stitches,” Wilson said.

He then recounted an episode of his brother coming across a shark in the same area as his surfing accident, and told Leno that he was fearful of getting attacked as he paddled back to shore with a trail of blood around him. “I was thinking about the shark as I was paddling back in with a little blood dripping into the same cove where my brother was attacked recently!”
