Courteney Cox just made the day, week and year of a few lucky “Friends” fans stopping by the set of the show in Burbank, California for a tour on November 30th. “I work at Warner Bros. and I thought this would be a good time for me to surprise some ‘Friends’ fans and bomb their footage,” Cox said at the beginning of an Instagram video showing clips of the ‘Scream 6’ actor crouching behind the iconic orange couch to wait on unsuspecting fans of the cult-classic TV show.
“It’s the coolest thing in my whole life.”
As a cameraman snaps photos of various groups of tourists posing in front of the unforgettable Friends fountain, Cox appears in the background of each frame, throwing peace signs and smiling as he captures each shot. Once the photos are done, Cox ducks back behind the couch. “First tell me you like it,” says the cameraman as he lets each group look at the photos. Within seconds, the confusion and joy sets in.
“Is this happening to us?!” says a shocked, tearful fan while her tour pal laughs and peeks behind the orange sofa in search of Cox. “It’s the coolest thing in my whole life.” Between shouts of “Oh my God!” and “It’s Monica!” The groups take turns jumping off the couch to hug Cox and express their excitement.
“You sweet patootie @courteneycoxofficial xxx,” Jennifer Garner wrote in the comments amid rows of crying emojis from fans wishing they had been on set that day.
In a final group shot of over 20 people, the cameraman jokes, “I’m sorry. We take a picture. as he points to Cox behind the sofa. Everyone turns curiously to see the “Friends” star waving in front of the fountain, triggering a wave of excitement that, in the words of Chandler Bing, “couldn’t get any better.”
Here’s how Cox surprises her “Friends” fans.
