Why Lisa Kudrow's Son Thought Jennifer Aniston Was His Mom
Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston are close — after all, they were "Friends" together for ten years! Kudrow dished on the show's success to Variety in June 2020, saying, "It was that I know that show worked because we all committed to each other too. It wasn't just committing to a role, committing to a contract. We all still love each other."
Aniston chimed in, describing "these fits of laughter on set." The actor complimented Kudrow, saying, "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 remembered what Kudrow wore to the first table read. "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."
Clearly, the actors still have a lot of good memories from the set of the beloved series. Kudrow dished on another hilarious incident, this time involving with her son and Aniston. Keep reading for more details.
Lisa Kudrow's son had a funny mix-up with Jennifer Aniston
Lisa Kudrow appeared on the May 13 episode of "Conan" where she revealed that her son Julian thought her co-star Jennifer Aniston was his mom. "I know he hasn't seen every episode... I know for a while, in school, people were watching it," she said. "He kind of felt like he had to, so that he can participate in what everyone else was watching. And he did really think that everybody else was very funny on the show."
She talked about what it was like bringing him on set when he was a baby, saying he "got a little confused." "I know that he really was obsessed with Jen," Conan prompted. "No no, he'd fly into her lap," Kudrow corrected. "Well, she's a love bug, and that made sense. And I was always glad for anyone that Julian felt love for and felt from. But then at home, she'd be on TV, and he'd go, 'Mommy!'"
Kudrow and Julian are still tight with Aniston, and she was one of the first to send well-wishes when Kudrow wished him a happy birthday on Instagram. Aniston wrote, "Happy Birthday, Juls!!! Feels like yesterday that you arrived." It's clear she's always been there for him!
