The actress – who has Coco, 17, with her ex-husband David Arquette – believes that women of a certain age “go through a lot.”
She said: “I think that women probably go through a lot more than people realize – I mean, between menopause, depression, being a mom to teenagers.
“I think that, yeah, I think that we do go through a lot.”
Cox also revealed she finds McDaid’s intelligence to be “really sexy.”
The ‘Scream’ star listed the things she loves about the 45-year-old rocker, describing Johnny as “smart” and “gorgeous.”
The actress – who was married to Arquette between 1999 and 2013 – said: “He’s a great advice-giver. I love his heart about him, his intentions about him. His morals from him. He’s extremely talented and obviously musical, but he’s a poet and a writer.
“He’s just so smart, and I find that really sexy. And then he is gorgeous.”
