Jennifer Coolidge fans have been left floored after realising that her iconic voice seems to be for the camera.
Coolidge, 63, attended the 82nd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday (5 January) where she was stopped on the red carpet by comedian and impressionist Matthew Friend, who did his best impersonation of The White Lotus star.
It's fair to say that Friend sounded more like Coolidge than she did, after she reacted to his impersonation in her 'real voice'.

She said: "Very good. It's very good."
After posting the video on TikTok, people were stunned that Coolidge appeared to sound totally different off-camera.
One user commented: "Wait, THAT’S NOT HER REAL VOICE???"
While another said: "Wait - not me being today years old finding out The voice is an ACT??! - THE WHOLE TIME??! I’ve never heard her real voice until just now."
A third wrote: "So interesting... her voice, her real voice."
Others took the news badly, with one fan writing: "I feel bamboozled, hoodwinked, lead astray."
Someone else asked: "Has my entire life been a lie?!"
Others pointed out that Coolidge has actually used her 'real voice' before, during a Seinfeld episode back in the nineties.
"She was on Seinfeld in the 90s, so us old heads know," one wrote.
Coolidge is best known for her roles in The White Lotus, Legally Blonde and of course, as Stifler's mum in American Pie.
She won a Golden Globe for her role in The White Lotus back in 2023, at the time saying the honour 'really meant a lot' to her.
"I can put this down, right?" Coolidge joked, referring to the award itself.
"I don’t work out, you know? What I mean is I can’t hold it that long."
It seems 2023 was a bit of a dramatic year for Coolidge, with the star opening up about a terrifying near-death experience at her home.
Coolidge explained how she was locked out of her property and had to jump over her own fence, but hadn’t realised that her gardener had left a garden stake out in the back yard.
You can probably guess what happened next, with Coolidge explaining she accidentally ‘impaled’ herself as she jumped down
"I was once locked out of the house and I jumped the fence but didn’t know the gardener had put a new stake in the yard," she said.
"It was a bloody mess. I’m lucky to be alive."
