Courtney Cox has revealed the perks of being on the popular show Friends.

Cox is best known for her role as Monica Geller in the hit show — she starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.

In a sit down interview with Willie Giest for Today America, the Friends alum touched on some of the benefits of being on a well known show.

The 57-year-old actress revealed that she wasn't opposed to fame and continued by saying, "I love the perks of being on a popular show, for sure. I definitely would sign an autograph!"

"I don't care what I was doing — and that may be weird — and sometimes it's not nice to the person you are with."

She explained, "I mean.. the people who wait for you outside of a hotel and have you sign, you know, something from Masters of the Universe — what are they going to make like $5?"

The segment was a sneak peek at a full interview the Friends star did with the American broadcaster which will be aired tomorrow.

Earlier this month, Cox showed her support for longtime friend and former co-star Matthew Perry.

In an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine, the actress reflected on her friendship with her former Friends co-star, revealing the immense "pressure" Perry faced while starring in the popular sitcom.

In May last year, Perry was criticised for slurring his speech during Friends: The Reunion special. At the time, The Sun reported that Perry had undergone an "emergency tooth procedure" shortly before filming.

"He's just struggled for a while. I think he's doing great now," Cox told Sunday Times.

"That was a lot of pressure he put on himself. That's a lot to think how much he relied on that for his own self-worth."
