Friends actress Lisa Kudrow reveals it was hard work for everyone involved to get closer.
The all-clear first: Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler got along well behind the “Friends” camera and still got along brilliantly even after the series ended.
As Lisa Kudrow, the actress who played Phoebe, explained in a podcast conversation with Dax Shepard, it wasn’t that easy to find each other at first.
Secrets of open “Friends” communication
In the Podcast episode from “Armchair Expert” The 61-year-old said that it was difficult for her to find a connection with the others and that the “six relationship” required some “work”. But because they worked hard to get closer to each other, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, who died in 2023, eventually became good friends.
The fact that it took some practice also had to do with the cast’s different communication skills, says Kudrow. Some found it easier to communicate respectfully. “I saw that Courteney, Jennifer and Matt did it very well,” the actress said.
Lisa Kudrow also admitted in the podcast conversation that she is now watching the old episodes of the sitcom again. She wasn’t able to do this for a long time (“because it’s too embarrassing to look at yourself”), but since the death of her colleague Matthew Perry, she’s been able to do it. To keep the memory of her friend alive.
