Courteney Cox has revealed that she "doesn’t remember filming" so many Friends episodes.

During an appearance on The Today Show, Cox - who played the role of Monica Geller - told host Willie Geist that she had forgotten filming so many episodes of the hit sitcom before she appeared on the hit sitcom's reunion last year.

"I should have watched all 10 seasons because when I did the reunion and was asked questions, I was like, 'I don't remember being there,'" the 57-year-old said. "Yeah. I don't remember filming so many episodes."

Cox last year reunited with cast-mates Perry, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow for highly-anticipated Friends reunion special, titled The One Where They Get Back Together.

Friends: The Reunion aired in May last year after being pushed back several times during the pandemic.

Cox went on: "I see it on TV sometimes and I stop and go, 'Oh my God, I don't remember this at all,'" Cox added. "But it's so funny."

She admitted that she has a "bad memory" and doesn't remember many things from her life beyond shooting the iconic sitcom.

"It's really basic," she said. "I don't remember any trauma in my childhood, but I have, like, three memories. I don't know. I don't know why."

"I'm kinda bummed that we didn’t spend more time taking pictures. Because I don’t have a lot to look back at," she added.

It comes as Cox recently revealed that her co-star Matthew Perry put enormous pressure on himself to be funny while filming scenes as sarcastic Chandler Bing.

The actors became household names thanks to their respective roles as Geller and Bing in the iconic 90s sitcom about five twenty-somethings living together in New York City.

And Cox believes her former co-star felt obligated to make the studio audience laugh every time the cameras were rolling.

But 52-year-old Perry - who has been open about his past battle with prescription drugs and alcohol - prompted concerns from fans after appearing to slur his speech throughout the reunion.

Cox added: "He's just struggled for a while. I think he's doing great now."

Elsewhere in her interview with The Sunday Times, Cox admitted she loved reuniting with her former co-stars and insisted she will never get bored with discussing her time on the show.

"No, that was such a huge part of my life," she said. "It was such a lucky situation that I fell into the show, and I went through so many things in those 10 years."

Of her relationship with her co-stars, she added: "We're just really comfortable. We've shared so much history together and we laugh. Lisa's laugh alone is the most infectious laugh I've ever heard. It's adorable. We have deep conversations, we also have silly times."
