Courteney Cox has admitted that Zac Efron would be "perfect" prey for real-life cougars.

The actress is currently starring in ABC sitcom Cougar Town, about a recently divorced woman called Jules who is on the prowl for a younger man.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she said: "Let's face it, Zac Efron would be perfect but he probably has too much confidence to be real prey for a cougar."

The 45-year-old actress added that she would love former Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow to appear in the show, explaining: "I think she would be so funny. She would be hilarious as my rival cougar, or maybe she's someone that really teaches me how to be a cougar."

Cougar Town premieres on ABC tonight at 9.30pm.
