Did Lisa Kudrow Resent Her Friends Co-Stars Because She Thought They Had Perfect Physical Appearances?

Although she starred in the hilarious and smart sitcom The Comeback, Lisa Kudrow can never escape her Friends character Phoebe Buffay. That might be an understatement. Thankfully for fans, the entire Friends cast seems to relish each chance that they get to talk about their days on the beloved ’90s sitcom.

Every Friends actor has expressed their gratitude for the TV show that altered their lives forever. But even though Lisa Kudrow seemed to have it made after Friends, she had one struggle while filming that is relatable. She described having a hard time with her body, and she compared herself to her famous co-stars.

How Lisa Kudrow Really Felt About Her Friends Co-Stars Despite Her Feelings About Her Body

In August 2022, Lisa Kudrow talked about her Friends co-stars in an interview on the podcast Podcrushed. She said something surprising: that she didn’t feel great about her body while filming Friends. She mentioned that trying on Phoebe Buffay’s clothes was tough, especially when she looked at Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox. However, she has never said that she disliked them because of this tough but relatable experience, and it doesn’t seem like her feelings affected their relationship at all.

“It was just seeing myself on the show and seeing myself in clothes and seeing Courteney and Jennifer in clothes. And at first I thought, ‘Oh, because they know, like, tailoring, so they can discuss it with the costume designer about where exactly to take something in.’”

Kudrow said that when she approached the end of her 30th decade and went through her 40s, she made peace with her body and said that she wanted “to be healthy.”
