Lisa Kudrow: 'Wardrobe fittings for Friends were not fun'
Lisa Kudrow didn't enjoy being fitted for costumes while making Friends because she was a "different body type" than her co-stars.
The actress, who portrayed Phoebe Buffay on the beloved sitcom, appeared on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show alongside her Friends co-stars Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston on Wednesday and opened up about her struggles with body image while filming the show.
She revealed that she didn't feel comfortable in some of the clothes she was given to wear as they were more voluminous in comparison to Courteney and Jennifer's.
"It's not that I felt horrible around them. Fittings were not fun, that's for sure," she explained, reports People. "Yeah, I have a different body type. I'm just bigger and sometimes the clothes, when I'd see the show, were so sort of full of volume."
She recalled feeling like she "enveloped" her female co-stars during a hugging scene due to the oversized sleeves on her shirt.
"It was just like, I enveloped them. I felt like this mountainous thing that swallowed them alive," she confessed.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jennifer insisted that she wasn't forced into wearing any of her character Rachel's skimpier outfits and she felt comfortable in them at the time.
"No one was saying, 'Girls, your outfits need to be tighter and smaller and skimpier.' Absolutely no way," she stated. "It was just sort of what we felt comfortable in."
The trio recently reunited with their male co-stars David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry for the Friends reunion special, which aired in late May.
