“It’s the humidity!” Cox mouthed to a voiceover of her ‘Friends’ character.
Courteney Cox is channeling her Friends character to poke fun at how Miami humidity has impacted her hair.
During a Wednesday, May 22 trip, Cox, who played Monica Geller on the beloved sitcom, shared a delightful Instagram clip. It kicks off with her comfortably indoors, her hair looking tamed and sleek, as she says, “I love Miami!” Then, she opens the door and steps onto a patio.
Almost immediately, her hair transforms into voluminous curls the moment she steps outside. Cox, now 59, humorously explains the change by mouthing a voiceover from one of Monica’s most famous lines: “It’s the humidity!”
This iconic phrase originated from a season 9 episode of Friends titled “The One in Barbados Part 1.” In that episode, Monica’s hair hilariously grows bigger and bigger due to the Caribbean humidity, much to her friends’ amusement. Frustrated, Monica finally yells, “It’s the humidity!”
Fans of the show couldn’t resist reminiscing in the comments section of Cox’s post. One commented, “That’s not true. I came with Monica, I’m leaving with Weird Al.” Another added, “ARE YOU LEAVING THE SUPREMES?”
Cox seems to enjoy making fun of her past characters’ interesting hairstyles. In January, she shared an Instagram video reacting to some memorable looks she’s sported over the years. In the video, someone approaches her wearing a grey sweatshirt featuring her Scream 3 character, Gale Weathers, sporting baby bangs.
“What is that? Don’t wear that sweatshirt,” she says, adding, “The bangs? Come on. That’s ridiculous. It’s embarrassing.” The video continues as she walks inside to find construction workers, each wearing a sweatshirt with photos of Cox’s characters’ iconic hairstyles, including Monica’s famous humidity hair. As eerie music plays, she quickly closes the tarp and walks away.
Friends aired for ten successful seasons from 1994 to 2004. Courteney Cox, along with Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, made an unforgettable mark on television history.
