Courtney Cox Recreates Friends Thanksgiving Scene By Dancing With Turkey On Her Head

Courtney Cox Recreates Friends Thanksgiving Scene By Dancing With Turkey On Her Head

She's really got into the spirit of things

Courtney Cox has recreated the famous Friends Thanksgiving scene in which she dances with a turkey on her head. Watch it here:

The actor - who is of course best known for playing Monica Geller on the much-loved sitcom - decided to roll back the years to celebrate the national holiday in the US.

In a video posted on Instagram, the 56-year-old said: "Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope you're having a great day.

"I'm feeling so thankful. And also, if I get one more goddamn gif with that turkey on my head dancing like a f*cking fool I'm gonna snap.

"So anyway, since I'm the symbol of Thanksgiving, here you go, hope it makes you happy."

She then jigs away with a raw sunglasses-wearing turkey on her head, with Friends theme music 'I'll Be There For You' by The Rembrandts in the background.

Safe to say, the clip did make a lot of people happy, having been viewed more than 2.8 million times already.

Solid effort that.

Former co-star Lisa Kudrow, aka Phoebe Buffay, also praised her for the throwback.

She commented: "You DID THAT!!"

Reese Witherspoon, who also had a cameo role as Rachel's sister, added: "Love you sister!"

This is presumably only the second time Cox has had a raw turkey on her bonce.

The first time was also in an attempt to spread some joy, on that occasion in the fictional world of Friends, with her efforts prompting Chandler to declare his love for her.

Here's the scene in case you can't remember it (which you obviously can):


Earlier this month, Matthew Perry (Chandler) confirmed that the Friends reunion will air in March.


Speaking on an episode of Kevin Nealon's web series, Hiking With Kevin, Cox said: "The exciting thing is that we're all going to get together for the first time, in a room, and actually talk about the show.

"We're going to have the best time.

"It's going to be great. We really haven't all done that and actually sat there and talked about and reminisced about this incredible experience that we had."
