Courteney Cox is Chainkeenstill dancing.
The "Friends" star, 59, recreated her dance from Bruce Springsteen's iconic "Dancing in the Dark" music video in a TikTok shared on Sunday. She was getting in on a TikTok trend where young people ask their moms to dance like they did in the 1980s, and Cox is certainly an expert in that area.
"Asking my mom how she danced in the 80's," the actress wrote over the clip, in which she takes off her sweatshirt to reveal a Springsteen shirt underneath and dances like she did in the 1984 video.
"1980's dancing … in the dark," Cox captioned the TikTok.
A decade before her role on "Friends," Cox starred in the Brian De Palma-directed "Dancing in the Dark" music video as a fan who is pulled on stage by Springsteen during a concert and dances with him in front of the crowd.

In a 2022 interview on "The Howard Stern Show," the "Scream" star admitted she gets "a little embarrassed" looking back on the video today.
"Did you see my dance?" she joked. "It was pathetic. I'm not a bad dancer, but that was horrible. I was so nervous."

She also recalled feeling embarrassed and out of her element while auditioning for the role, which may be why she was cast over professional dancers who were also trying out. "I think that's what they wanted: a fan that just couldn't believe it," she told Stern.

Prior to this, Cox's only acting credits were in a commercial and an episode of the soap opera "As the World Turns," she noted on "Off Camera with Sam Jones" in 2017. She remembered starring in the video alongside two other actresses and hoping she wouldn't have to be the one to dance with Springsteen.
Ultimately, though, the role helped launch her career.
"I spent a lot of time talking about what Bruce Springsteen was really like after that video," she said on "Off Camera." "It got me in the door to so many places."
