Like the rest of us, celebrities across the world are currently isolating at home in a bid to combat the coronavirus crisis.
And they've all been spending their time in different ways. Kristen Bell has been losing her mind attempting to homeschool her kids, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis started a book club, and Gigi Hadid has been conducting photoshoots for Vogue in her living room.
But for Courteney Cox, her quarantine has been spent binge-watching TV. And her boxset of choice? Friends!
Back in March, Courteney revealed that, despite starring as Monica Geller in Friends for 10 years, she remembers very little about the show. So she's decided to use her newfound free time to watch the sitcom and find out what all the fuss was about.
Well, in a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Courteney has given an update on her binge-watching, revealing she's watched enough to know the show is "really good" as well as the episodes she's enjoyed the most.
"The Thanksgiving episodes are my favourite," Courteney said. "The Thanksgiving one where we all went back and had the flashback [was great.]"
The episode Courteney's referring to is from season five, where the ~friends~ recalled Thanksgivings from when they were younger.
And Courteney went on to say that the reason she enjoyed the episode so much was because she "loved" playing "overweight Monica".
"I loved playing overweight Monica because I felt so free," she said. "I could dance, like, just sit up and dance and have no problem at all. And I did love it. Those are really good episodes."
However, not everyone would agree with Courteney on the subject of "Fat Monica." In fact, over recent years the character has been repeatedly cited as one of the more problematic parts of the show.
But Courteney did go on to add that she's mainly watching the series to remind her of some of the more positive times on set.
"It's really sad, but I didn't remember it at all," she said. "I do remember the people, and I remember specific things that happened. But my memory is not great when it comes to the fun times. I only remember pain, I think."
In fact, back in 2004 Courteney opened up about the anguish she felt filming the episode where Rachel gives birth to Emma having recently experienced a miscarriage herself.
So it's great that Courteney is enjoying the show as a viewer the second time around!
