I definitely wasn’t passing them out.”

He’s a really nice person,” she gushed. In addition, Variety noted that Courteney and Harry recently attended a mutual friend’s birthday party, however, the Cougar Town star “kept to herself” as he mingled “with others.”

His popular memoir has since become a record-selling book, with over 1.43 million copies sold in the United States as of Jan. 31, per The New York Times.
