Steve Granitz/WireImage—Getty Images  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Feb 12, 2020 5:15 PM UTC Now that all six leads from [_Friends_](https://time.com/5622979/friends-leaving-netflix-for-hbo-max/)have [finally joined Instagram](https://people.com/tv/matthew-perry-joins-friends-costars-instagram/), there was ample opportunity for some nostalgia-fueled posts when [Jennifer Aniston’s](https://time.com/5759599/jennifer-aniston-at-golden-globes/) birthday rolled around on Tuesday. But while [Lisa Kudrow](https://www.instagram.com/lisakudrow/?hl=en) and [Matthew Perry](https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cQrgzp1fv/) both shared [old photos of Aniston](https://www.instagram.com/p/B8c%5FVIbH8DM/) from her days playing Rachel, it was [Courteney Cox’s](https://www.instagram.com/courteneycoxofficial/?hl=en) present-day snapshot that seemed to resonate with _Friends_ fans most. Cox’s birthday tribute to Aniston involved her attempting to cosplay as her longtime friend, but admitting that she ultimately came up short. “No matter how hard you might try… there’s only one Jennifer Aniston,” she captioned the photo, which featured her posing next to Aniston in a lookalike wig, outfit and pair of glasses. “Happy birthday my dear friend [@jenniferaniston](https://www.instagram.com/jenniferaniston/)! I love you!” Cox and Aniston have appeared to maintain a close friendship in the nearly 16 years since _Friends_ ended and are frequently spotted hanging out together. According to Cox, Aniston is even responsible for her posting one of her best _Friends_\-themed Instagrams: the one where Monica visits her old apartment building. “I was at Jennifer’s house. She’s like, ‘Post that now and see what happens,’ because she’s not on Instagram yet,” [Cox said](https://people.com/tv/courteney-cox-jennifer-aniston-encouraged-friends-instagram-post/) of the video of her walking towards the NYC building that was used for exterior shots in the sitcom during a 2019 appearance on _Busy Tonight_. “I’m thinking to myself, it’s probably better to post this between 9 and 12 because that’s where my fans are. But I didn’t, I posted it late at night and it’s still — it worked.” Monica and Rachel forever. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5782907/courteney-cox-birthday-jennifer-aniston/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5782907/courteney-cox-birthday-jennifer-aniston/"},"headline":"Courteney Cox Dresses Like Jennifer Aniston for Her Birthday and Nails It","datePublished":"2020-02-12T17:15:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:17.679Z","description":"\"There’s only one Jennifer Aniston\"","url":"https://time.com/5782907/courteney-cox-birthday-jennifer-aniston/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","onetime","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdec21b3f13772730/698a0a27b21a9c095450328f/Courteney-Cox-Jennifer-Aniston.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdec21b3f13772730/698a0a27b21a9c095450328f/Courteney-Cox-Jennifer-Aniston.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Courteney-Cox-Jennifer-Aniston","caption":"Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston attend the American Film Institute's 46th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to George Clooney at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., on June 7, 2018.","creditText":"Steve Granitz/WireImage—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5782907/courteney-cox-birthday-jennifer-aniston/","name":"Courteney Cox Dresses Like Jennifer Aniston for Her Birthday and Nails It"}}]}] ```
