Lisa Kudrow has found a new perspective on watching “Friends” following the sudden death of her co-star Matthew Perry at age 54. Speaking candidly, Kudrow shared that she had previously struggled to watch the iconic sitcom. “I used to not be able to watch it at all,” she admitted. Seeing herself on screen was difficult, often leading her to turn it off after a brief glimpse.
However, Perry’s passing has shifted her experience of the show. Kudrow revealed that she can now watch “Friends” because it feels more about honoring Perry than focusing on her own performance. “After Matthew died, I could start watching the show again, because it wasn’t about me. It had to do with him for some reason,” she explained. This change has allowed her to engage with the series differently, finding comfort and connection in the memories of her late friend and co-star.
Since Perry’s death, Kudrow has spent significant time watching “Friends” during marathon sessions, something she had not done before. This shift illustrates how Perry’s legacy continues to impact those who knew him best, offering Kudrow a way to cherish the time they shared on set and the joy he brought into their lives.
