Well, the American actressCourteney Cox, who played Monica Geller apparently seems to have forgotten almost all of it. Appearing in an interview withToday,the actress revealed that she barely remembers working on the set ofFRIENDS. Cox even revealed how she went unprepared on the reunion special and failed to answer questions about the show and her role.
“I should’ve watched all ten seasons because when I did the reunion and was asked questions, I was like, ‘I don’t remember being there,’. Yeah. I don’t remember filming so many episodes.”
Blaming her “bad memory” Courteney Cox mentioned how she can barely recollect the scenes and performing them, even while watching the show on TV. “I see it on TV sometimes and I stop and go, ‘Oh my God, I don’t remember this at all,’” Cox shared. She mentioned finding it funny since that’s the way her brain functions, which is also why she doesn’t remember much about her childhood traumas.

Courteney Cox Was Surprised by The Impact ofFRIENDS
During her interview withToday, Courteney Cox revealed how she didn’t have any idea thatFRIENDSwould turn into this highly appreciated and globally popular show. The actress admitted during the interview how her life changed overnight after the sitcom aired in 1994, and created a severe impact on popular culture.
While the actress barely remembers working on the show, Cox has a clear memory of a trip with the cast before the show took off. Courteney Cox recalled how she and her colleagues were given $500 each, and were told to enjoy the moment as normal people because once the show aired, they wouldn’t be able to do it.
“He gave us all $500. And he said, ‘I want you to take care, like, really take notice of this moment because it will be the last time that all six of you together can walk through a casino,’. And we were like, “Really?” And it was true. We never could never do that (again).”
“I mean, I don’t wanna sound like, ‘Look at us.’ We’re not, you know, the Beatles. But people feel like they know you. If we were all to walk down the street, six of us, it would be, I think it would be really interesting to people.”
Certainly, all six actors from the show along with the other actors who had cameos and brief roles ended up turning into phenomenal stars. Somehow the show appears to be a lucky charm for the cast and crew.
