Courteney Cox too shy to make career in Hollywood

London: Actress Jennifer Aniston may have made a successful career in films after appearing in hit sitcom ‘Friends’, but her co-star Courteney Cox says she`s is too shy to be a part of the industry.

The 46-year-old, who played Monica Geller in the show, admits she did not have the confidence to go to auditions, reports express.co.uk. "I always talked myself out of going in to read. I don’t know if I had that much confidence. I was always thinking I needed to do something else, be more mysterious," she said. Cox, who is currently seen in popular comedy TV series "Cougar Town", admits she is "much more content" but says she is still hurt by having been the only one of the "Friends" cast not to have been nominated for an Emmy award. "My ego got really bruised. When everyone did but me, that doesn’t feel good at all. There were certain years I thought, ‘Maybe I have a shot’, like the Monica-Chandler years. I don’t know how it happens and why. Maybe I wasn’t ready," she said. IANS
