Courteney Cox seems to be doing exactly what we’re doing during lockdown - watching Friends. The actress, who played Monica in the hit sitcom, has revealed that she is binge-watching the show to get through the coronavirus pandemic.
"I decided during this time — people love the show so much — I decided to binge-watch Friends," she said, speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s at-home YouTube show on Wednesday. "I just started season 1. It's really good."
However, don’t count her on now suddenly being an expert in Friends trivia.
"I don’t even remember even being on the show. I have such a bad memory," she said.
"I remember loving obviously everybody there, and having fun, and I remember certain times in my life that I was there. But I don’t remember episodes. I would never pass. I fail every test."
She wasn’t joking, either. She took a quiz about Monica’s time on the show against Kimmel’s cousin - and was beaten 5-0.
