Lisa Kudrow<\/a> had to put “a lot of work” into the early days of ‘Friends’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lisa Kudrow struggled with her character in the early days of friends<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old actress became known around the world for starring as kooky singer Phoebe Buffay in the 1990s sitcom alongside Jennifer Aniston<\/a>, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer but admitted it took her a couple of seasons to really settle into the character. <\/p>\n

Speaking on the SiriusXM show ‘Where Everybody Knows Your Name’, she said: “[It was] if not a year and a half, maybe two seasons, before I felt like I had Phoebe down.<\/p>\n

“The things she said were so outrageously illogical that in order for me to justify them, you know, I felt like ‘Oof!<\/p>\n

“It just took a lot of work to figure out.<\/p>\n

\n\u201c’All right, how is it possible that I think this is true or a good idea or a reasonable thing to say?’ I\u2019m like, ‘Something\u2019s wrong,’ \u2018cause I\u2019m not doing the work I was doing,”<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘Better Nate Than Ever’ star even thought she was being “lazy” by the time the second year came around until her co-star Matt – who played Joey Tribbiani – gave her some advice.<\/p>\n

\nShe added: “I\u2019m slacking off. I\u2019m being lazy and I was getting really mad at myself, and LeBlanc came. He said, ‘What\u2019s going on with you?’ I said, ‘I\u2019m being lazy. I\u2019m not doing the work that I did first season, second season. I\u2019m not doing the work I did for Phoebe, so it can\u2019t be good.<\/p>\n

\n“And he went, ‘No, you know who the character is now. You don\u2019t need to do the work you did. You got it,\u201d and I went, ‘What? Oh’.<\/p>\n

\n“That was enough.<\/p>\n

\n“It\u2019s sort of like someone shook me \u2018cause I was getting hysterical. I wasn\u2019t literally getting hysterical, but you know like if you\u2019re getting hysterical, someone slaps you back. You\u2019re like, ‘Oh, thanks. That\u2019s what I needed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
