How fun it must have been for actors to work with their best friends! From strangers to family, the cast of Friends had a lot of fun while they worked together on the iconic ’90s sitcom. On the one hand, there is Rachel, who loves fashion, and there is also Phoebe, who is into weird things. What got the audience’s attention was Monica’s freaky nature. However, the actress who plays Monica, Courtney Cox, used to be sneaky about a specific thing while filming.

What is the most important thing an actor must have? Apart from skills, they also must have excellent memory to remember their lines. Although the actors can get clues from the crew members while filming the scenes, Cox had a different idea of remembering her lines. As The Things pointed out, Cox admitted sometimes, she was not good at remembering her lines. Therefore, the Scream actress used to put her lines in the fruit bowl. Even she used to keep her lines in the sink.

Sometimes, when the writers might give them the scripts, they would not have much time to prepare. Also, there were times when the 59-year-old actress just did not prepare as much. And when she would forget her lines, the Shining Vale actress would take a sneak peek at her lines from the scripts. Monica Geller, who is extremely specific about things, found her way to be sneaky around the sets.

But did this act of keeping her scripts on the sets go unnoticed? No, her co-star, Matt LeBlanc, also made his way to tease her about these little efforts.

Courtney Cox fell prey to a hilarious prank by the Friends co-star

All the actors had a lot of fun while filming together on the sets. When Matt LeBlanc once found out about these scripts, he decided to tease the Cougar Town star. During a scene, when Cox was saying her lines which were longer, the Family Man actor picked up the piece of paper that she had put in the fruit ball. Obviously, it was Courtney’s script.

The actress did not know about the prank at all. So, she simply improvised the next line she had to say. And the director decided to keep that in the show. Although afterward, the cast of the show had a minor disappointment with LeBlanc, they ended up solving it as well. Well, this just shows how the actors used to improvise on the spot.

Now, even after more than 20 years, all the actors from the sitcom are the closest companions. Are you also a Friends fan? What are your thoughts about Courtney Cox’s sneaky ways of remembering lines? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
