Denise Richards Says Cam Newton ‘Saved Me’ During ‘Special Forces’ (Exclusive)

Denise Richards and Cam Newton spoke with “Extra’s” Melvin Robert about answering the call to take on grueling military training in Season 3 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” Denise revealed that she initially said no and was intimidated by being with some athletes on the show, and also shared how former NFL star Cam “saved me” during the experience. Cam responded to his fellow recruits calling him a teddy bear and talked about building bonds for life. He said the hardest part was knowing you can quit at any time, but shared how the camaraderie kept him going. “Special Forces” premieres Jan. 8 on FOX.
