Lisa Kudrow, the talented actress best known for her iconic role as Phoebe Buffay in the hit TV show “Friends”, has recently opened up about a hilarious incident that has happened to her more than once. In an interview with People Magazine, Kudrow revealed that even Sandra Bullock, a renowned actress with a reputation for being down-to-earth and charming, has accidentally referred to her as Phoebe in conversation.
Kudrow, who has been in the entertainment industry for over three decades, has built a reputation for her versatility and range as an actress. She has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, including the popular sitcom “The Comeback“, “The Simpsons”, and “Web Therapy”. However, it seems that even her A-list colleagues can’t shake off the association with her most famous role.
“I’ve had this happen to me a lot, even with other actors,” Kudrow said in an interview with People Magazine. “Like, Sandra Bullock, I’ve had her get me and she’s like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, Phoebe!’ And I’m like, ‘Uh, no, it’s me, Lisa!’ But she’s always apologetic and sweet about it.”
Kudrow went on to explain that the confusion often arises when people assume that her Phoebe persona is an extension of her real personality. “I think people think Phoebe is me, and that’s just not true,” she said. “I mean, Phoebe is a character, and I’m just an actress who plays her.”
Despite the occasional mishap, Kudrow seems to take the confusion in stride. “It’s okay, I get it. People love the show, and I love the show too. But I’m just glad that people can’t hold onto the idea that Phoebe is Lisa Kudrow forever,” she laughed.
Kudrow’s Phoebe Buffay has become an iconic character in American pop culture, known for her quirky personality, offbeat sense of humor, and unforgettable singing voice. While even A-list stars like Sandra Bullock can’t resist the mistake, it’s clear that Kudrow is happy to be associated with her beloved character. As she wisely said, “Phoebe may not be me, but I’m grateful to be Phoebe.”
