'Friends' Star Lisa Kudrow Would Consider Role on ‘The White Lotus.' But There's 1 Problem
Lisa Kudrow says she'd consider a role on The White Lotus—but she has one big reservation. In an interview for Variety with Parker Posey, the Friends star was asked if she would ever enter "The White Lotus world," and she gave a two-part answer. 'Work with Mike White? Yes,' Kudrow, 61, said, referencing the showrunner of the HBO hit. 'I love Mike White. I've hung out with him at a party. He's social. And Brad's Status was my favorite movie that year. I emailed him to let him know, because I had to — it was so good, I had to. I don't do that a lot.' The first three seasons of The White Lotus has featured an eclectic cast of female characters played by Jennifer Coolidge, Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, and, most recently, Posey. But Kudrow, who's best known for playing wacky Phoebe Buffay on Friends, admitted to Variety that she may not be White's 'cup of tea.' She added of the HBO anthology drama series, 'I do get nervous about inhabiting things that are too dark; I try to avoid that.' While The White Lotus is one of the buzziest shows today, it would be hard for Kudrow to top her 10-season run on Friends. The actress starred on the show for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004 with David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc. In 1998, Kudrow won an Emmy Award for her work on the NBC sitcom. 'We loved each other,' Kudrow told in December. 'Going to work every day was heaven. It was too good to be true, but it really was. I won a lottery being on Friends. Anything else I got to do was icing.''Friends' Star Lisa Kudrow Would Consider Role on 'The White Lotus.' But There's 1 Problem first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025
