Kudrow was pregnant with Julian while filming season 4 ofFriends, and her pregnancy was written into the show. “The six of us would do a huddle backstage and just say, ‘All right, have a good show, love you love you love you love you,’ " she recalled of the experience to PEOPLE in 2018.
“And when I was pregnant, then they would say, ‘Have a great show, love you love you — love you, little Julian!’ " the mom of one previously raved. “Cause we knew it was a boy and that was his name. So sweet, they included my little fetus in the huddle.”
Kudrow and her fellowFriendscast membersrecently filmedthe long-awaited reunion special, which was delayed several times due to the COVID pandemic and was supposed to premiere in May 2020.
“It’s not a reboot,” shesharedback in January. “It’s not like a scripted thing, we’re not portraying our characters. It’s us getting together, which just doesn’t happen a lot and has never happened in front of other people since 2004 when we stopped … I think it’ll be great.”
