Courteney Cox Doesnt Remember Being On “Friends,” And She Realized It During The Reunion – BuzzFeed

The One Where Monica Doesn’t Remember the Show.

If you’ve watched even one episode of Friends, then I think you’d probably agree that Courteney Cox is pretty unforgettable as Monica Geller.

However, Courteney herself doesn’t seem to think so.

On Sunday, she told Today that she actually doesn’t remember that much of filming the show — and her memory gap became apparent during the Friends reunion last May.

“I should’ve watched all 10 seasons because when I did the reunion and was asked questions, I was like, ‘I don’t remember being there,’” she said.

“I don’t remember filming so many episodes.”

“I see it on TV sometimes and I stop and go, ‘Oh my God, I don’t remember this at all,’” she continued.

She simply chalks her forgetfulness up to a “bad memory” and said she also only has “like three memories” from her childhood.

She also regrets not taking more pictures with her Friends costars back in the day. She said, “I don’t have a lot to look back at.”

While Courtney could easily jog her memory by streaming the show on HBO Max, she’s a little hesitant to watch any episodes that were sped up a few frames to add an extra commercial (which often happens to shows in syndication to increase ad revenue). She said, “I sound the way I think Minnie Mouse or Tinkerbell sound like.”

“I hate my voice so much.”

However, she also clarified, “When it’s not sped up, I like it.”

Well, Courteney can probably find the OG versions on some Friends DVD box sets. I hope that she chronicles her rewatch on a podcast!
