Courteney Cox's dad told her to quit acting and become a swimming pool salesperson in the '80s
Courteney Cox remembers her dad telling her to quit acting in the ‘80s and return home to be a swimming pool salesperson before she landed her breakthrough roles in 'Family Ties' and 'Friends.’
Courteney Cox revealed her bad habit that makes her just like her "Friends" TV character Monica in a new social media post.
Cox, 59, starred as Monica in "Friends" from 1994 until the show's end in 2004.
Monica was an organized neat freak, except for the one episode that revealed her secret messy closet.
In Cox's video shared to Instagram, she attempts to show her followers the remodel of her dining room, but the camera man had other plans. As the camera follows her to the dining room, he panned to a slightly open door and said, "Oh wait, what’s in here?"

Cox jokingly freaked out, jumping in front of the door and said, "Oh my gosh, nothing! Max, nothing. Please, Max, stop! That’s not funny. Seriously, don’t film it."
"Erase the footage now, OK?"
"Come on … we all have one #secretcloset #monica," she captioned the video.
Fans in the comments picked up on Cox's "Friends" reference immediately.
"'Hehe you're messy' (cue Chandler Bing laugh face)," one user wrote.
"*in chandler's voice* ‘you're messy'" another one added.
"Imagine Chandler's face when he sees it," one wrote.

"It always hurt my feelings … when every single cast member was nominated but me. It definitely hurt my feelings," Cox previously told Howard Stern while talking about the Emmy snub. "I was happy for everybody, and then it was finally like, ‘Oh, I’m the only one?'"
