On Saturday, Jennifer Aniston celebrated the 59th birthday of her former Friends co-star and bestie, Lisa Kudrow, with some fun throwback pics. The 53-year-old actress tagged her friend with a birthday wish in her Instagram Stories, sharing an image from 2003 taken on the twenty ninth People’s Selection Awards.

The 2 women worked together for 10 years from 1994 to 2004. The group had a temporary reunion in early 2021, and Aniston admitted in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it brought up lots of unexpected feelings and memories of the difficulties she faced because the show ended.
āI believe we were just so naive walking into it, pondering, ‘How fun is that this going to be? They’re putting the sets back together, exactly as they were.’ Then you definitely get there and it’s like, āOh right, I hadn’t considered what was happening the last time I used to be actually here,āā Aniston said. āIt just took me by surprise since it was like, āHi, past, remember me? Remember how that sucked? You thought all the things was in front of you and life was going to be just gorgeous and you then went through perhaps the toughest time in your life?āā
She added, āIt was all very jarring and, in fact, you have cameras in every single place and I’m already slightly emotionally accessible, I suppose you might say. I needed to walk out at certain points. I do not understand how they cut around it.ā
