Lisa starred as Phoebe Buffay on the iconic NBC sitcom, which ran for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004.
Despite how universally belovedFriendsis, Lisa has said she prefers not to watch it back, admitting in 2021 that she feels “mortified” by her performance on the show.
However, it sounds like her perspective on the topic has shifted sinceMatthew Perry’s tragic deathlast year.

Shortly after Matthew’s passing, hisFriendscostarsreleased a statementvia People saying they were “so utterly devastated by the loss.”
And as Matthew’s costars have continued to process the loss, Lisa recently revealed that she’s finding great comfort in revisitingFriends.
“Honestly, I wasn’t able to watch it because it’s too embarrassing to watch yourself,” she toldthe Hollywood Reporterthis week. “But if I make it about Matthew, then that’s OK.”
