Courteney Cox reveals she wants ‘posh’ role in Downton Abbey and is tired of playing ‘neat freaks’ like Monica Geller
COURTENEY Cox has revealed she'd love to land a posh role in Downton Abbey.
Appearing on The John Bishop Show, Courteney threw her hat into the ring for the next reboot of the hit British franchise - but only if she's a member of the aristocracy.
Over 10 seasons, viewers watched her obsessively organise best pals Joey, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler and brother Ross.
She also had a win-at-all-costs attitude that often played out with hilarious results - none more so than when she and Ross spectacularly failed to be the focus of a New Year's Eve TV show.
In reality she's more chilled out and recently reflected on how she's become more understanding and a better listener in her relationship over the years.
The actress, 57, has been with Snow Patrol star Johnny McDaid for eight years.
"I used to think, 'Oh well, if you loved me...' It's not really about you. People do things because of their own history and their own past. I had to learn that lesson for sure.
"I've learned that love is precious. As I've gotten older, I've realised that."
Courteney went on to praise her beau, hailing him as a "great listener, talented, smart and gorgeous".
She said: "I've never met someone more patient. He's a great advice-giver. I love his heart, his intentions. His morals. He's extremely talented and obviously musical, but he's a poet and a writer. He's just so smart, and I find that really sexy. And then he is gorgeous."
The John Bishop Show airs tonight at 9.35pm on ITV and ITV Hub
