"Cougar Town" must be a very hands-on set -- because Courteney Cox and hunky co-star Josh Hopkins were spotted holding hands once the cameras were off!
While the two were cozy on the beach in Santa Monica while filming the NBC show, cuddling and giving piggyback rides as part of the script, the camaraderie continued when the cameras cut -- and the two smiled as they walked hand-in-hand off set.
Hopkins was rumored to have dated Courteney's BFF Jen Aniston, but he shot those reports down, telling PEOPLE they're "just friends – just friends having dinner."
What do you think ... just friends here too?
