Lisa Kudrow has revealed that she has been rewatching Friends<\/a> to remember Matthew Perry, following her co-star\u2019s tragic death last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Kudrow revealed that while in the past she could not bring herself to watch reruns of the show, she was now doing so partly to keep the memory of Perry alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I wasn\u2019t able to watch it because it\u2019s too embarrassing to watch yourself,\u201d she said. \u201cBut if I make it about Matthew, then that\u2019s OK.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s just celebrating how hilarious he was \u2013 and that is what I want to remember [about him].\u201d<\/p>\n

Kudrow added that watching the show now has given her a new appreciation for the comedic talents of all her fellow cast members and said that she often found herself \u201claughing out loud\u201d during episodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m blown away by Courteney Cox. I\u2019m blown away by Jen. Matthew, obviously, is just uniquely hilarious. No one ever knew that cadence or comedic rhythm before him. Matt LeBlanc is hilarious. And David Schwimmer, too. Sometimes I even laugh at what I\u2019ve done,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her memories of working with Perry on the show, she continued: \u201cYou\u2019re just laughing all day long, basically, in between the scenes, because these are funny people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd especially someone like Matthew, whose goal was, \u2018How many laughs can I get in real life every day?\u2019 So we were always laughing so hard, tears were flying out of our faces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Jennifer Aniston was seen getting visibly emotional<\/a> while discussing Friends during an interview with Abbott Elementary\u2019s Quinta Brunson as part of\u00a0Variety\u2019s Actors on Actors<\/a>\u00a0series.<\/p>\n

Asked what it feels like to watch the series now, she explained: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I just started thinking about\u2026\u201d before clarifying: \u201cI\u2019m OK. It\u2019s happy tears.\u201d<\/p>\n
