During a 2021 interview on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” Kristin Davis admitted that she auditioned for the role of Monica Gellar on “Friends,” a part that later went to Courteney Cox. While Davis was one of many who was considered for the series, she has some interesting ties to the show and Cox herself. “I think I was about one of like 8,000 young ladies who read for Monica,” Davis told the late-night host. Although Davis didn’t get the role, she did find out that Cox had gotten it when the actor asked her to go car shopping with her.

“Courteney and I were in the same yoga class at the time. And we used to hang out. The rest of us were like unemployed actors, waitress types, and we would hang out after class, and one day Courteney was like, ‘Hey guys, do you want to come car shopping with me?’ We were like, ‘Wow, car shopping.’ And she said, ‘I did this pilot. I’m feeling really good about it. I think I’m going to buy a Porsche!’ We were like ‘Wow! Is she for real?’ And it was ‘Friends.’ And it did go very well,” Davis told Corden.

However, David did go on to play a member of an iconic friend group living in New York for “Sex and the City” — as well as appear as a guest star on “Friends.”
