Courteney Cox recognises Irish woman's Cork accent

Courteney Cox recognises Irish woman's Cork accent

Extra.ie​2 days ago
While there are a wide range of accents across the island of Ireland, deciphering what part of Ireland a person is from is easy work for Friends actress Courteney Cox.
Fitness influencer Laura Dorgan, had the day of her dreams on Wednesday when she managed to catch the iconic actress coming out of a TV gig.
Not only could Courteney pick up on the Irish accent, she confirmed that she knew Laura was a Cork woman. Not only could Courteney pick up on the Irish accent, she confirmed that she knew Laura was a Cork woman. Pic: Laura Dorgan Fitness/ Instagram
Cork native Laura has been based in New York City for the last number of years, and has previously seen the late Matthew Perry as well as Jennifer Aniston.
On Wednesday, Laura took to social media revealing she was en route to apprehend Courteney, revealing if her plan worked she would be half way to seeing the whole cast of the 90s sitcom.
Laura had spotted Courteney's name on the line-up of a TV show and made her way to the studio, hoping to time it right so that she would catch the Scream star leaving the building.
Unbelievably it all went to plan for Laura and despite having to 'leg it' five blocks after seeing a car she thought could be Courteney's chauffeur she made it with time to spare.
A clip shared to Laura's socials sees the actress leaving the building with Laura seizing her chance and asking to get a picture with her.
'Sure!' Courteney said obligingly.
The next clip saw the 61-year-old getting into her car, with Laura answering the unheard question of what part of Ireland she was from.
'I was going to say Cork!' Courteney confirmed. Heading back home, Laura took to Instagram to detail the experience, 'What just happened? I just got a selfie with Courteney Cox — I never got a selfie with Jennifer; I never got a selfie with Matthew. Pic: Laura Dorgan Fitness/ Instagram
Heading back home, Laura took to Instagram to detail the experience, 'What just happened? I just got a selfie with Courteney Cox — I never got a selfie with Jennifer; I never got a selfie with Matthew.
'I just got a selfie with Courteney. Oh! I can't. I am hyper!! A selfie with Courteney Cox.'
Laura recalled that Courteney asked 'Ireland?' before then asking Laura what part.
'Has she been to Cork? Does anyone know has she been to Cork? What even is today?' Laura continued, 'Lads, I'm still not the better of it'.
'She was in Scream. She's Monica Geller. If I keep my mouth open any longer, I'll be catching flies.'
Perhaps Courteney in Cork isn't too crazy an idea, as the actress is in a long-term relationship with Snow Patrol frontman Johnny McDaid – could the Derry man have whisked her down to the Rebel County previously?
Earlier this year, EVOKE reported that Courteney had popped into Derry salon Phibrow for an eye brow session, with owner Elaine Simms taking to social media to share stunning before and after shots.
