Cox shared an extended clip of what didn't air during a season 4 episode in which Chandler and Monica hooked up the night before Ross' wedding, noting how Perry gave her a line to say that wasn't in the script.

Courteney Cox shared a sweet Friends memory on Instagram in a heartfelt tribute to her late costar Matthew Perry who died last month at the age of 54.

In her post, Cox recalled Perry's "funny" and "kind" nature, sharing one of her favorite moments between her and her on-screen hubby.


She wrote:

"I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day."
"When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now here’s one of my favorites."

Cox shared an unaired clip from the season 4 episode "The One With Ross’s Wedding" when the gang minus Phoebe flew to London to attend Ross' wedding. This, of course, is also where Chandler and Monica hook up, much to the audience's delight.

Cox continued her post:

"To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story."
"In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say."
"He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind. 🤍🕊️"

Accompanying her post were both the aired and unaired versions of the clip, the latter in which she says Perry's line.

This is the moment Ross bursts into Chandler's hotel room and excitedly announces he's getting married.

After Ross leaves, Monica surfaces from beneath the covers and asks:

“Do you think he knows I was here?”

And the audience loses it.

In the unaired clip, Monica—at Perry's request—adds the line:

“OK, your turn!"

She then laughs and tells the audience:

“He told me to say it, he did!”

Fans of the TV couple thanked Cox for sharing such a lovely memory, and offered their condolences.

In a joint statement released to PEOPLE on October 31, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow honored the late actor, saying:

“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family."
"There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss."
"In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”

On Tuesday, Matt LeBlanc shared an emotional tribute on Instagram, writing:

"It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye."
"The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life."
"It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never."
"Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love."

He also joked:

"And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me."

Lovely tributes ❤️

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely ridiculed after sharing a photo of his fake law enforcement badge—complete with the badge number "69420"—that declares him "The Dogefather," flexing his authority as the leader of the advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is at the center of the ongoing slash-and-burn approach to gutting federal spending.

Musk appeared positively thrilled when he shared the photo—perhaps the most cringey thing he's done, at least thus far, since attaining unprecedented political power.

'Wuthering Heights' Film Casting Director Irks Fans After Justifying Casting Decisions By Claiming 'It's Just A Book'

It was recently announced that Wuthering Heights, the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, is being adapted for the screen at Warner Bros. Pictures. The leading director is Emerald Fennell, and the casting director is Kharmel Cochrane, who was involved in the award-winning Nosferatu and Saltburn.

For those who got through high school and college without having to read the novel, it's a dark, psychological thriller with Gothic horror undertones—and also a love story. That's the power of Emily Brontë, who published just one novel in her lifetime.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.
