Lisa Kudrow will forever go down in history of American television for her portrayal of Phoebe Buffay in sitcom "Friends", but the actor admits that sometimes playing the character was a sheer struggle.
During a recent episode of the YouTube series "Hiking With Kevin", Kudrow recalled the difficulties she faced in playing the fan-favourite character during the show's early seasons.
"I had played dumb girls, sure. But it wasn't really me. I feel like s**t, I tricked them. At the audition, I was the only one who could cope with the audition process and that's how I got it, I think. So I had to work hard at being Phoebe, you know," she told the host, Kevin Nealon.
But in this battle, she was comforted by co-star Matt Leblanc, who portrayed Joey Tribbiani in the show.
"I was struggling so much and Leblanc was like, 'What's going on with you?' And I said, 'I can't, I don't think I have it, I mean, I don't know what I'm doing.'
