SCREEN star Karen Gillan has moved to New York – in tribute to her favourite sitcom, Friends.

The actress fell in love with the Big Apple watching the hit 1990s TV comedy as a teenager in Inverness.

Now she has ditched Hollywood to see if she can experience some of the Big Apple coffee-shop lifestyle enjoyed by the show’s famous friends.

Karen, 30, said: “I’ve just always wanted to live here.

“I grew up in the Highlands of Scotland watching Friends and thought, ‘I want that life’.

“So I found an apartment with a brick wall [as in the show] and I’m just sort of emulating that life.

“I still need to get friends here, but I’m working on it!”

She added: “I’ve been establishing a little routine for myself. I write screenplays, I walk around and I drink a lot of coffee.

“And I’ve been eating the pizza here – it’s great.

“They took a picture of me at my favourite place, Prince Street Pizza, and put it on the wall so I was quite honoured.”

Karen shot to fame as Tardis assistant Amy Pond in Doctor Who then moved to Los Angeles.

She has picked up a string of top Hollywood roles in movies including Jumanji, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, which hit big screens last week.
