Courteney Cox proves she was destined to play Monica Gellar in Friends with hilarious Instagram clip

We all know method acting can be the key to an excellent performance.

Well, Courteney Cox seems to have remained in her most famous role – Monica Geller – almost 17 years since Friends aired its final episode.

On Thursday, the 56-year-old posted a video to Instagram challenging fans to “tell me you’re a Monica without telling me you’re a Monica.”

She then proved that she and her iconic character are very much two peas in a pod.

“I’ll go first,” the actor said, before unveiling her pristinely ordered kitchen utensils draw, coupled with her faultlessly organised spices and perfectly arranged pantry.
