Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc has finally shared their thoughts on a possible reunion. Now, Lisa Kudrow, who played the role of Phoebe Buffay, was asked in an interview various questions and if she is up for a continuation or a special episode.
According to vanityfair, Lisa is very eager for a reunion! She said, "I'll go for it," Kudrow replied. "A whole season, because to spend that much time with those people again would be heaven."
Here are some of the takeaways:
She loved her time on Friends (and, uh, all her times since): "I would have been fine if we did it 10 more years [of the show], and it was great that we finished when we did, because I've loved everything I've done since."
- Her favorite episode was the sixth episode of Season 8-"The One with the Halloween Party"-which featured Sean Penn. Airing in November 2001, this was the first episode shot post-9/11. "And that whole week, while driving in L.A., people would pull up, and give me a very sad look, and a quiet thank-you for making them laugh," Kudrow said.
- Surprisingly, Kudrow did not balk at the question of which of her castmates was the funniest off-set with a "They were all funny in their own particular way!" answer. Instead, she 'fessed up. Kudrow said, "See, now, 20 people would be insulted . . . but because I spent 10 years laughing hysterically at Matthew Perry. Off-set, it's Matthew Perry. And not laughing at him, laughing with him, sorry!"
- And where would Phoebe Buffay be now? According to Kudrow, she'd be a "super-competitive tiger mom," parenting alongside Paul Rudd's Mike.
Original cast Matt LeBlanc who played Joey Tribbiani, says that a "Friends" reunion show is not going to happen, but he's always happy to hear rumors about it.
"I'm not tired of getting asked that question at all. 'Friends' was probably the greatest 10 years of my life. I'd be hard-pressed to find something that matches that in terms of success and just sheer fun. So anything that harks back to that has a soft spot in my heart," he told Los Angeles Times.
"As far as a reunion project, that's just not in the cards. I think that show was about a finite period in your life - after college and before you start your family where your friends are your family - and that's what that show was about. So to go beyond that doesn't feel like you'd do justice to that. I liken it to that saying that the book is always better than the movie. I think it's best to imagine what those characters are doing now versus to see those characters. No one wants to see us in our 40s (laughs). Joey's still struggling as an actor. It'd just be sad," he added.
Courteney Cox opened up to David Letterman on Monday's "Late Show" about the never-ending rumors that the famous gang will get back together to film a reunion movie based off their hit NBC show.
"Only because once you say, 'Well, I'd like it,' then they have to contact every other cast member and be like, 'Courteney's into it!' And then I get in trouble. It's not going to happen," she told David Letterman during his appearance on the "Late Show."
"Let me tell you something: there's six friends and I've been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years. It doesn't happen! I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute, Schwimmer lives here [in New York City], so it's just not gonna happen," says the newly engaged star.
Despite LeBlanc's and Cox's statements, fans will never get tired of hoping that "the greatest gift America has given mankind', so they say, will someday get a much-awaited reunion movie. After all, anything is possible in Hollywood.
