London,
(ANI):
While
Jennifer
Aniston
made
a
bounty
in
Hollywood
after
finishing
off
'Friends",
her
co-star
and
friend
in
the
hit
sitcom
Courteney
Cox
has
said
that
she
was
just
too
shy
to
venture
for
the
big
screen.
The
46-year-old,
who
played
Monica
Geller,
watched
Jennifer,
41,
take
a
string
of
lead
roles
in
Hollywood
flicks,
but
says
she
did
not
have
the
confidence
to
go
to
auditions.
“I
always
talked
myself
out
of
going
in
to
read.
I
don"t
know
if
I
had
that
much
confidence," the
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying.
“I
was
always
thinking
I
needed
to
do
something
else,
be
more
mysterious,"
she
added.
Courteney,
who
managed
to
land
a
role
in
the
Scream
films
despite
her
shyness,
has
gone
on
to
front
popular
comedy
series
Cougar
Town,
playing
a
divorcee
in
her
40s.
She
admits
she
is
“much
more
content"
but
says
she
is
still
hurt
by
having
been
the
only
one
of
the
Friends
cast
not
to
have
been
nominated
for
an
Emmy
award.
“My
ego
got
really
bruised.
When
everyone
did
but
me
that
doesn"t
feel
good
at
all.
There
were
certain
years
I
thought,
'Maybe
I
have
a
shot",
like
the
Monica-Chandler
years.
I
don"t
know
how
it
happens
and
why.
Maybe
I
wasn"t
ready,"
she
told
Emmy
magazine.
The
actress,
who
is
married
to
actor
David
Arquette
with
whom
she
has
a
six-year-old
daughter
Coco,
also
said
that
“ageing
is
nobody"s
friend".
“One
second
ago
I
was
the
youngest
person
on
the
set
and
now
I"m
the
oldest.
I"m
so
old
my
joints
hurt
when
I
keep
my
legs
crossed
a
certain
way
for
too
long.
I
need
glasses
to
see
a
movie,
to
see
the
computer
and
to
read
a
book,"
she
said.
