AceShowbiz - Despite infrequent gatherings, the cast of the iconic sitcom "Friends" maintains a strong connection. Lisa Kudrow shares her memories of their reunion and the impact of Matthew Perry's passing.
The cast of "Friends" had only gathered together once in the decade following the show's finale in 2004. Their reunion in 2019 for the 25th anniversary was a special occasion where they reconnected effortlessly. However, tragedy struck in 2023 when Matthew Perry passed away from an accidental drug overdose.
Kudrow revealed that Perry had hinted at his eventual passing, but the news still came as a shock to the cast. She expressed her belief that Perry died content and excited about the future.
To cope with her grief, Kudrow began rewatching "Friends." She found comfort in seeing her former castmates and the joy they had brought to viewers. She also acknowledged the exceptional talent of each cast member, appreciating their unique contributions to the show.
Despite her familiarity with the show, Kudrow admitted that she had never seen some episodes and is still discovering new aspects of it. She recalled participating in table reads during filming but was unaware of the subsequent rewrites made to the scripts.
