The Graham Norton Show viewers have accused Courteney Cox of looking ‘bored’ and ‘glazed over’ during her appearance on the programme on Friday night.

The Friends star, 57, was on the show to talk about her latest comedy-horror series called Shining Veil, but people watching commented that she ‘looked like she would rather be somewhere else’. 

One pointed out that while Graham is ‘superb at managing guests’, the interview was ‘awkward’ due to her ‘dissociated’ demeanour.

Taking to twitter the viewer said of Graham: ‘He really is superb at managing the guests. It was a tough one tonight, too – Courteney Cox looked like she wasn’t present at all, almost dissociated.

‘Her eyes looked glazed over, which isn’t how she used to come across.’

Another said: ‘Courteney Cox looks bored. Such a shame #GrahamNortonShow.’

A third tweeted: ‘#Courteneycox looks like she wants to be somewhere else. So awkward’.

A fourth added: ‘Don’t think #courtneycox wanted to be there.’

The BBC and Courteney have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.  

During the show Courteney admitted that playing piano in front of the iconic music star Elton John, 74, was the ‘scariest, most nerve-wracking’ thing she’s ever done.

Last June, she showed off her impressive musical skills as she partook in a hilarious rendition of his track Tiny Dancer with the Rocket Man hitmaker himself.  

The Friends actress also reveals that she called up her piano tutor for an emergency practice session before Sir Elton came over.

Last summer, Courteney was joined by the music legend, her close pal Ed Sheeran, 30, and Brandi Carlile, 40, for a rendition of the hit shared on Instagram last year.

And the Scream actress has revealed she phoned up her piano tutor as soon as Ed invited Elton over for dinner because she was so nervous about the prospect of tinkling the ivories in front of him. 

Courteney told Graham: ‘I learned to play in lockdown but then Ed Sheeran invited Elton John to dinner at my house and suggested we all perform together.

‘So, I called my piano teacher and 20 minutes later he was walking out as Elton was walking in. It was the scariest, most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever done, and it was the thrill of my life!’ 

It wasn’t just any cover of Tiny Dancer, as they did the version Friends character made famous by Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) where she sings ‘Tony Danza’ instead of ‘Tiny Dancer’.

Courteney shared a video of the musical performance to her Instagram at the time, and captioned the clip: ‘One of the greatest moments of my life. This one’s for you.’

To which, Lisa reacted in the comments: ‘Whaaaaaat??? That’s the most exciting thing ever!!!!’ 

Meanwhile, Ed previously said Courteney might have made an appearance on one of his albums.

Speaking about his latest studio effort, ÷, the Bad Habits hitmaker said: ‘She sings. I’m pretty sure she sings on background vocals on the album. I think she’s on Visiting Hours. If not, she was definitely on ÷ somewhere.’

The chart-topping pop star subsequently explained how he came to work with the Hollywood star.

He said: ‘Well, my producer and songwriter, Johnny [McDaid] is dating her. Me and Johnny write most, like, we wrote Shape of You together. We wrote Bad Habits together. We work together a lot.’

The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One 10.35pm on Friday and is available on BBC iPlayer.
