It's been a little more than a week since Courteney Cox and David Arquette announced their split, and the funnyman actor is “throwing himself” into his new wacky project, since he's finding it therapeutic and is enjoying being “unleashed,” a well-placed source tells TooFab.
Arquette has teamed up with comedian Jeff Beacher for “David Arquette Presents: Beacher's Madhouse,” a five-year, $25 million project at Hollywood's famed Roosevelt Hotel debuting soon, which will include contortionists, fire-breathers, dwarves, burlesque dancers and go-go girls. “He's throwing himself into the project,” the source tells TooFab. “He's using it as therapy, post-split. He's really been using it to keep him busy.”
Arquette is also letting his creativity run wild—something the source says he couldn't do while with Cox. “He's also using it to show his talent, and to be his own man,” says the source. “Being with Courteney wasn't good for him. She had him on a leash. He was a robot. He couldn't be as wild. He's starting to realize that now. Even like when he was spotted last week at a liquor store on Sunset -- you never saw him out like that before. But now the leash is off. He doesn't give a crap. He's unleashed. He's on his own now."
