Lisa Kudrow is touching upon her meet ups with ‘Friends’ cast and their frequency.
The actress, who plays Phoebe Buffay in the hit sitcom, tells Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s On Me that she has met with the cast once in every decade after the show ended in 2004.
“It was so good,” she said of their 2019 reunion. “We’d only had dinner the six of us once before since the show ended.”
“How soon after the show?” Ferguson asked.
“Ten years!” Kudrow replied, adding that it was “fantastic.”
“It was like we didn’t miss a beat,”
Prominent cast members of the show include Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry.
Speaking of Perry’s passing in 2023, Lisa admitted: “Just us at someone’s house and had dinner and didn’t miss a beat.”
“It shook us up, I have to say,” Kudrow explained.
“I mean, he said, ‘It won’t be a surprise, but it will be a shock.’ And that was exactly right. He’s so smart, like, how did he know? So smart. That is true, it wasn’t a surprise, but it was a shock. It was a big jolt.”
She added: “I think, personally, I think he died happy. I think in the days around his passing, he was happy and excited about what’s happening next.”
