A third added, “She looks so beautifully aged 😭 oh Phoebe, we love you,” referencing her Friends character.
The star recently revealed that she actually thinks refraining from injectables can help her career.
"I think [Botox] contributed to my eye irritation and this weird pattern on my forehead, so I’m probably done with it now anyway," said the actress, who first got Botox at age 60. "I am scared of having to see myself looking like my grandmother one day, but I’m excited to play older roles."

Years after parting with Friends, Kudrow remains excited to talk about her iconic character.

It just did. And I loved being Phoebe. I loved the whole experience, and I don’t want to move away from it.”

Lisa Kudrow rewatched 'Friends' when Matthew Perry died.
Kudrow revealed she started rewatching the show after Matthew Perry’s 2023 death to help her feel closer to him.
“I [hadn’t] watched it [before]. I think I was self-conscious if anyone walked by and saw me watching my own show. It embarrassed me. But when Matthew passed away, there were marathons, and I watched it, and it really did comfort me,” she disclosed. “It wasn’t about me. It was about watching Matthew and all of us, and it was this other thing, and I really enjoyed it.”

Lisa Kudrow used to be 'embarrassed' watching herself on TV.
Kudrow and other cast members recently reunited to sign artwork, with some proceeds going toward the Matthew Perry Foundation.
“Exciting news! The cast has teamed up with @soundwaves_art and artist Tim Wakefield for a very special collection of artwork this holiday season. Tim has transformed the actual soundwaves of the Friends theme song into these beautiful designs each inspired by a different character, and each cast member has autographed their own small run of artworks,” the charity explained via Instagram.
'Friends' Helped People Through 'Hard Times'

Lisa Kudrow recently reunited with the 'Friends' cast to sign artwork for charities.
Kudrow credited Friends for its ability to make people feel less alone, both when it first came out in 1994 and now.
“It got people through a hard time, feeling really isolated and alone, and it helped fill a hole or made them feel a connection,” she expressed. “I think, especially now, you wouldn’t expect young people to still want to watch an old show, a 20-something, 30-year-old show. The technology is different, all of that. But I do feel like there’s this unconscious nostalgia for connection.”
