The headline is a little misleading (Courteney Cox admits she doesn’t remember being on ‘Friends’) as what she says is a little different:
Courteney Cox made a shocking revelation when she admitted that she doesn’t remember much of her time filming “Friends.”
Cox, 57, recently sat down with “Today’s” Willie Geist for an extended “Sunday Sitdown” interview when the actress shared that she realized there were a lot of gaps in her memory when she appeared on “Friends: The Reunion” in May 2021.
“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 laughed. “Yeah. I don’t remember filming so many episodes.”
C’mon, man, that’s how memory kind of works when you get older. I have the first line of a poem about it–I remember my life like a history book–because I, too, remember facts about my earlier life, but vivid recollections are few and far between.
Which is a shame; I sometimes lament the loss of the flavor of things. The scent of type cleaner. The smell of the corridor leading to The Paint Dealer, a magazine where I was briefly a hyphenated-editor of some sort. I can’t even see the corridor in my mind, although I know it was up a flight of stairs and toward the back of the building. I know the facts, but I cannot reproduce the experience in my mind.
So this is not shocking that Courteney Cox does not remember every single day of her job twenty-some years ago.
