The NSFW gift Courteney Cox keeps getting from Ed Sheeran – Yahoo Entertainment

Ed Sheeran kicked off his week-long residency on The Late Late Show With James Corden Monday where he revealed the hilarious NSFW prank he has continuously pulled on Courteney Cox. Sheeran met Cox in 2013 through mutual friends, and they quickly became close, resulting in an open invitation for him to stay at her Malibu home whenever he’s in town.
