The tribute to Aniston also had three throwback snaps, including one where she rocks her famous “Rachel” haircut as she rests her head on Kudrow’s shoulder with both sporting milk mustaches; another cuddling on a sofa; and one of Kudrow receiving a kiss on the cheek from Aniston and Cox.
Cox, 59, also took to her Instagram page to wish Kudrow a happy birthday, only she shared a series of images that looked slightly newer than her co-star’s.
Happy birthday my booty. This is my second attempt: ChatGPT hasn’t given you nearly as much love as I feel for you,” the Scream star wrote before getting sentimental. “You are the smartest, funniest, most thoughtful person. I always feel seen and loved when I’m around you. That’s the gift you give to those you love x.”
