'Friends' star Lisa Kudrow makes shocking revelation about fans’ candid request

Lisa Kudrow recalled her time on Friends.

Recently, in a podcast episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross & Tonya Mosley, Lisa talked about her working experience in Friends and said that she has “zero complaints about Friends or anything to do with it.”

She further opened up about the bond she shared with the Friends co-stars, saying, “Just the relationship with the other actors; we had fun.”

“That is so rare. And real honest respect, mutual respect,” Lisa added. “It was a really good relationship that took some work, and we did the work.”

“It was great,” the actress best known for Phoebe shared at the time.

Lisa revealed that during filming breaks, the cast members “made sure” to grow closer while playing poker.

She further went on to elaborate, “Everything about it was great.”

As Lisa had performed the song Smelly Cat in the sitcom, she would rather not sing it in real life. “Sometimes people will stop me and say, ‘Oh, sing “Smelly Cat.”’ I don’t want to do that. I really don’t want to do that,” Lisa said while recalling a fan moment.

It is pertinent to mention that Lisa Kudrow played her well-known character, Phoebe Buffay, in Friends and worked on the sitcom for almost 10 years.
