Inside Lisa Kudrow And Jennifer Aniston's Friendship

Actress Jennifer Aniston and actress Lisa Kudrow don't only play besties on Friends, the two are, well... friends in reality.

The legendary show, which debuted on NBC in 1994, not only turned Aniston and Kudrow — as well as the rest of the cast — into major stars, but also created real-life friendships between some of the cast members.

In a June 2020 interview with Variety, Aniston recalled how she and Kudrow would "always get into these fits of laughter" on set. She explained, referring to Kudrow,"You had this wonderful ability to — you were about to hit your punchline, and you would do this adorable thing where you would break. You would say the punchline, and you would always turn to the audience and say, 'I'm sorry, it's really funny.'"

Aniston even remembers the moment when they had their first table read together for the show. She said, "You were wearing an appropriate Phoebe Buffay — like a white linen, hippie shirt, and you had a bunch of seashells and necklaces on. And you had your hair pulled up in two little clips, and you had these little blond tendrils. So, so, so beautiful!"

Kudrow, for her part, is waiting on the rest of the cast to get together before she revisits Phoebe, saying, "I don't watch the show. I'm still not watching it in the hopes that one day we sit down and watch them together."
