Courteney Cox has recalled the absolutely terrifying moment she had a last-minute piano lesson to play with actual Sir Elton John.
As you do.
During lockdown, the Friends star, 57, who starred as Monica Geller in the hit sitcom, entertained fans with various performances from her home and was even joined by Natasha Bedingfield and country singer Brandi Carlile for duets on Instagram.
But when she invited close pal Ed Sheeran over for dinner he ended up extending the offer to Sir Elton.
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, she said: ‘I learned to play in lockdown but then Ed Sheeran invited Elton John to dinner at my house and suggested we all perform together.
‘So I called my piano teacher and 20 minutes later he was walking out as Elton was walking in.
‘It was the scariest, most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever done, and it was the thrill of my life.’
Cox is friends with chart-topping singer-songwriter Sheeran through her partner, Johnny McDaid, who plays keyboard and guitar in Snow Patrol.
It’s been a busy year already for the actress, who recently topped the box office in the fifth Scream film, reprising her tole as horror icon Gail Weathers, alongside Neve Campbell and ex-husband David Arquette.
‘I can’t believe I am in it again and I couldn’t believe they were doing another one, but it’s great – funny, gory and really scary,’ she said of the movie.
‘It’s just heightened. Everything in the world changed and it had to keep up – it’s relevant.’
The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday on BBC One at 10.35pm and is also available on iPlayer.
