    She is currently filming the half-hour horror comedy Shining Vale for Starz.

    But Courteney Cox revealed Wednesday on Instagram that she’s found plenty of ways to keep herself occupied in her lengthy downtime between takes.

    The 57-year-old Friends star joked that she had picked up a side hustle as a crew member and a Warner Bros. backlot tour guide in a humorous new video.

    Courteney wore a lovely black polka dotted dress with a plunging neckline at the start of the video.

    She was filming herself in front of a house set which was being used for her new series. 

    ‘Here I am on the backlot of Warner Bros. filming my show Shining Vale,’ she shared. ‘There’s definitely a lot of time in between setups, but I don’t get bored. I see opportunity all around.’

    The video then cut to Courteney driving a small red fire department vehicle on the lot.

    Greg Kinnear, the actress’ costar on Shining Vale, then popped up as he was getting a Covid-19 test, but then the camera pulled back to reveal that it was Courteney putting the swab up his nose.

    Then she was behind a plastic tarp at the craft services table as she dished out food to hungry workers on set.

    After one person order some short ribs, noodles and kimchi, Courteney revealed she didn’t know what the fermented Korean dish was, though she managed to figure it out. 

    Next up, some unsuspecting tourists got a special celebrity sighting when the Friends star decided to drive a tour shuttle around the backlot.

    ‘We’re on stage five. This is where Friends started in 1994 and is now occupied by a show called Shining Vale — starring me!’ she said to applause and cheers from the riders.

    But Courteney appeared to have gotten herself in over her head after she had to make a sharp turn in the extra-long vehicle.

    She passed an SUV on the left to make a right turn, while the people filming from behind her got increasingly anxious that she might sideswipe the vehicle. 

    ‘Go wide!’ one of the women shouted just before her boss cleared the car. ‘She’s got it.’

    One of the guests on the tram shouted, ‘You made it, nice turn!’

    That seemed to come as a surprise to the TV star.

    ‘Oh, I almost hit the car? Oh, I didn’t even think about that!’

    Courteney and Kinnear star as the parents of a dysfunctional family who move from a big city to a small-town house where horrible crimes were committed in the past in their series Shining Vale, 

    The Scream star plays Pat, a one-time novelist and former wild child who decides to move with her family to save her marriage after she has an affair with a young handyman.

    But once they’re in the new house, she starts to notice spooky occurrences that no one else in the family seems to notice, leading her to wonder if the place is haunted or if she’s just depressed.

    The eight-episode comedy is created by Trial & Error co-creator Jeff Astrof and Catastrophe co-creator, co-writer and star Sharon Horgan.

    Mira Sorvino costars as Rosemary, who may be a split personality that only Pat knows about, or a demon who’s trying to possess her.

    In addition to the Starz series, Courteney recently was involved in the Friends reunion in late May.

    She caught up with her costars Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc to share behind-the-scenes stories from the iconic NBC sitcom.

    The reunion received mostly positive reviews, with critics complaining about the number of guest appearances with little connection to the series but applauding the more emotional discussions with the original cast.
