Yahoo Finance Scottish cab driver lets 'Friends' star Courteney Cox ride for free in exchange for selfie
Friends star Courteney Cox surprised a taxi driver in Scotland when she hitched a ride in his cab.
Edinburgh taxi driver Fraser Ogilvie was delighted when the 55-year-old actress jumped in the back of his cab and asked for a ride to concert venue Usher Hall, before agreeing to pose for a selfie.
Cox – best known for her role as Monica Geller in the hit sitcom – was in Scotland to support her boyfriend, Snow Patrol singer Johnny McDaid.
Ogilvie said he waived the fare in exchange for a photo with the actress, but later joked she hadn’t given him a tip.

He tweeted: "Just a friend in the taxi #naetip".
Ogilvie told the Scottish Daily Record: "I’m a black cabbie in town and took her to the Usher Hall to see her partner's gig.
“My wife is the biggest Friends fan too and would have killed me if I never got a photo."
Cox and rocker McDaid, 43, have been dating since 2013. They announced their engagement in 2014 only to call it off, but have remained a couple.
Cox was previously married to actor David Arquette from 1999 to 2012. They have a 15-year-old daughter, Coco.
