13 Times Celebs Forgot Things About Their Own Projects

    "I just remembered I was in Twilight."

    1. To start us off, Courteney Cox forgot who Joshua was on Friends:

    He was Rachel's boyfriend in Season 4, played by Tate Donovan:

    2. Courteney also hilariously forgot who played Mike, and Lisa Kudrow had to help her out:

    The answer, of course, was Paul Rudd:

    3. James Van Der Beek forgot how Jen Lindley (aka Michelle Williams) died on Dawson's Creek:

    Yes, Dawson, of THE CREEK fame, couldn't remember how his dear friend Jen Lindley died. For shame!

    4. Jack Black forgot that he starred in The Holiday:

    To be fair, he remembered after a few hilarious moments. I mean, who could forget Miles???

    5. Zac Efron couldn't recognize "Breaking Free" from High School Musical when it played during a Name That Tune game:

    Brie played a Six Chick and Mark was ~dreamboat~ Matt Flamhaff:

    12. Angela and Brian forgot what Jan threw at Michael's plasma TV on The Office:

    It was a Dundie!!!!

    13. And Idina Menzel (endearingly!) could hardly remember anything about Frozen — honestly, you need to watch the entire video:
