00:00Lisa Kudrow says she's finally rewatching Friends because of Matthew Perry.
00:05The actress has previously admitted that she couldn't bring herself to watch reruns of the
00:08beloved NBC sitcom, explaining she didn't want to risk not liking her work on the show.
00:13But in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming Apple TV Plus
00:17series Time Bandits, Kudrow revealed that she's begun to revisit old Friends episodes,
00:22in large part to keep the memory of her late co-star Perry alive.
00:26Perry died October 28, 2023, at age 54.
00:29Kudrow told THR,
00:31Honestly, I wasn't able to watch it because it's too embarrassing to watch yourself.
00:35But if I make it about Matthew, then that's okay,
00:38and it's just celebrating how hilarious he was, and that is what I want to remember about him.
00:42The actress went on to detail her experience rewatching the series,
00:45saying,
00:46I'm laughing out loud and everyone is hilarious.
00:48I'm blown away by Courteney Cox.
00:50I'm blown away by Jen.
00:51Matthew obviously is just uniquely hilarious.
00:54No one ever knew that cadence or comedic rhythm before him.
00:57Matt LeBlanc is hilarious.
00:59And David Schwimmer, too.
01:00Kudrow continued,
01:01Sometimes I even laugh at what I've done.
01:03So yeah, I mean, that's my own little way of celebrating the anniversaries, just watching it.
01:07But it's embarrassing.
01:08At home, if anyone walks in the room and I'm watching Friends,
01:11that's a horrible look, I think.
