Courteney Cox admits she doesn’t remember filming Friends episodes
Courteney Cox has dropped a bombshell about her time on the hit series, admitting there’s one thing that left her “bummed”.
Courteney Cox, 57, made a shocking revelation when she admitted that she doesn’t remember much of her time filming Friends.
Cox recently sat down with US Today’s Willie Geist for an extended “Sunday Sitdown” interview when the actress shared that she realised there were a lot of gaps in her memory when she appeared on Friends: The Reunion in May 2021, New York Post reports.

“I should have watched all 10 seasons because when I did the reunion and was asked questions, I was like, ‘I don’t remember being there,’” she laughed. “Yeah. I don’t remember filming so many episodes.”
Last year, the cast of Friends reunited on the set to take a look back at the comedy that turned all six stars into household names. Cox was joined by Jennifer Aniston, 53, Lisa Kudrow, 58, Matthew Perry, 52, Matt LeBlanc, 54, and David Schwimmer, 55, to share stories and revisit their time on the show.
Cox confessed her disappointment with her lack of memories from the significant period in her life.
“I’m kinda bummed that we didn’t spend more time taking pictures. Because I don’t have a lot to look back at,” she said.
But her years on the show aren’t all erased in her mind. Cox shared one memory that has stuck with her through the years.
Friends director James “Jim” Burrows took the cast on a trip to Las Vegas right before the show aired in 1994.
“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,’” she said. “And we were like, ‘Really?’ And it was true. We could never do that [again].”
“I mean, I don’t want to sound like, ‘Look at us.’ We’re not, you know, the Beatles. But people feel like they know you,” she said. “If we were all to walk down the street, six of us, it would be, I think it would be really interesting to people.”
While Cox has rewatched some of the show, she said some episodes are hard for her to sit through.
She explained that certain episodes were sped up to fit in an extra commercial, which she thinks makes her voice sound like a “mouse” or “Tinker Bell”.
“Oh my God! I hate my voice so much,” Cox said, but admitted that she likes watching the show when it’s not sped up.
