Courteney Cox has admitted she doesn't think she's recognised enough for playing Monica Geller in Friends.

The actress says that despite it being her most iconic role, she sometimes doesn't get recognised as much as she'd like.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she was asked whether people still approach her 20 years on.

"Usually a lot, although sometimes not enough, strangely.

"I was just thinking about this the other day. I went to Turks and Caicos - just a beautiful island. I went there after I had gotten engaged [to Johnny McDaid] and it was for my birthday - that big birthday - and it was such a beautiful place.

"Johnny and I were there and we were having the best time, except after four days you're like, 'It's kind of really quiet here'. There's no wind chimes, there's no music. I mean, it is quiet. No crickets, nothing!"

She also says that after a few days relaxing she tried to make holiday friends but struggled until a fan recognised her and worked up the courage to introduce themselves.

"I could not make a friend! I tried so hard! It must have been my hair. No one wanted to talk to me, it was really bad.

"I was like, 'Gosh, Monica! 'Friends'! Nothing?'

"[On the last day] someone swam up to me and said, 'I just want to say I'm a big fan of 'Friends'. Can I get a picture?' I'm like, 'Are you kidding? A picture? We're eating lunch together!'"
