Kudrow will always be Phoebe

Lisa Kudrow – who played ditzy musician Phoebe Buffay in US sitcom 'Friends' for 10 years – will never escape her on-screen alter-ego and is still swamped by fans even though the show ended in 2004.

Lisa Kudrow – who played ditzy musician Phoebe Buffay in US sitcom 'Friends' for 10 years – will never escape her on-screen alter-ego and is still swamped by fans even though the show ended in 2004.

She explained: “People still call me Phoebe and want to talk on the street. ‘Friends’ is still on TV all the time.”

Despite her worldwide fame, the 46-year-old star avoids the spotlight and tries to live as normal a life as possible.

She explained: “I try not to notice the attention when I’m out. I usually create some imaginary lines depending on where I am. And I don’t look at the periphery, like blinkers. I can’t help it. I have always been like that.”

Kudrow recently revealed she would be prepared to star in a ‘Friends’ movie, but only if everyone involved in the original programme was onboard.

The ‘Bandslam’ star said: "I don't know how it would work out, because of the type of show 'Friends' is. But it would be fun if everyone wanted to do it, and by everyone, I don't just mean the cast, I mean the creators of the show as well. If there was a way to figure it out then it could happen."
