Friends star Lisa Kudrow has made an extremely sad admission about her cast mates.
Kudrow, 61, starred in the hit 10-season-spanning sitcom alongside the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and the late Matthew Perry.
The show, which first hit our screens back in 1994 and went on until 2004, cemented itself in many of our hearts so you can imagine we were all absolutely buzzing when Friends: The Reunion finally gave us another dose of the cast's antics back in 2021.

While it was as if no time at all had passed, Kudrow has since explained that they hadn't actually met up as a six in a very long time.
Speaking on Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner’s on Me podcast, she revealed: "We only had dinner, the six of us, once before, since the show had ended."
Despite the fact the group reunited for the dinner a decade Friends finale aired, they 'didn't miss a beat'.
"It was so great that it was like 'we should do this more'," Kudrow beamed. "To have all of us together on the set, you never know when it will be impossible."
Opening up about Perry's tragic passing in October of last year, the Primetime Emmy award-winning actress shared: "It shook us up, I have to say.
"He [Perry] said it won’t be a surprise, but it will be a shock, and that was exactly right. So smart, that is true - it wasn’t a surprise, but it was a shock.
"It was a big jolt."
The No Good Deed star added: "Personally, I think he died happy. I think in the days around his passing, I think he was happy and excited about what’s happening next."
Kudrow also revealed what she did to help with the grieving process following Perry's untimely death - rewatching old episodes of Friends.
Praising her cast mates, she said: "Schwimmer was hilarious, Matt LeBlanc was making me laugh out loud, Jennifer, come on, she’s so good, look what she just did.
"And Courteney, oh my God you’re hilarious, how did you never get nominated for an Emmy?
"And Matthew, of course, at the time he was blowing me away."
During the chat, Kudrow also confirmed there are still episodes she's 'never' seen, noting: "There’s a certain amount of anxiety around watching it.
"I’m afraid of what my takeaway is going to be.
"When Phoebe got married and she’s walking down the aisle and has this huge smile on her face, I teared up because she was so happy, she was so honestly happy.
"It was really touching to me, she deserves to be this happy."
