"My mom's Emmy trophy was an 'action figure' toy."
Lisa Kudrow, Emmy nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing, remains an active star
Appeared alongside her son in the drama she wrote


"My mom's Emmy trophy was an 'action figure' toy."
Actress Lisa Kudrow, who gained worldwide fame for her role as Phoebe in 'Friends', appeared on the Emmy Awards red carpet with her 28-year-old son. It has been seven years since 2019.
On the 14th (local time), Kudrow attended the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles, USA, accompanied by her son Julian Murray Stern. The two stood side by side on the red carpet dressed in black outfits. Kudrow was nominated this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and also received a nomination for Outstanding Writing for her role in the third season of the HBO comedy series 'The Comeback'.
However, what drew even more attention that day was the son standing beside Kudrow. Julian is Kudrow's only child with her husband Michel Stern. In particular, there is a special story related to 'Friends'. Kudrow's actual pregnancy was reflected in the storyline of her Phoebe character on 'Friends'. The child in Kudrow's womb at the time was none other than Julian.
Julian has now turned 28. During his childhood, his mother's Emmy trophy felt more like a toy than the highest honor in the broadcasting industry. He has previously shared an anecdote about thinking his mother's Emmy trophy looked like "the coolest action figure" when he was young. That same boy is now 28 and standing side by side with his mother on the Emmy red carpet.
Even more special is that the two are now acting together in a real production. Julian appeared as an actor in the third season of 'The Comeback', which was released this year. 'The Comeback' first began in 2005 and is a comedy series in which Kudrow plays Hollywood actress Valerie Cherish. The third season, returning after 20 years, is also the final season of the series.
Julian played the role of Evan, a technical expert, appearing in five episodes. This means he acted alongside his real-life mother in the same production. Kudrow said that while she was initially a bit nervous about filming with her son, once they started shooting, she was able to naturally distinguish between their roles and relationships.
Their connection is even more intriguing.
Last June, Kudrow recalled the time when filming 'The Comeback' during an interview with Jennie Anniston, a fellow cast member from 'Friends' and a long-time friend. The two women had their conversation at Warner Bros. Stage 24, where 'Friends' was originally filmed.
At that gathering, Anniston mentioned that Kudrow's son Julian grew up listening to the laughter on the 'Friends' set alongside her. Now, that child has become an actor like his mother and is appearing in the same production.
For Kudrow, the third season of 'The Comeback' holds another meaning as well. In this season, she participated not only in acting but also in writing alongside co-creator Michael Patrick King. According to the Television Academy, Kudrow has been nominated for an Emmy a total of 17 times up to this year and has won one Cha Rye (수상). This time, she was nominated again in two categories: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing.
The child who was once in his mother's womb on 'Friends' has now become a 28-year-old actor, creating a work alongside her and standing side by side with her on the Emmy red carpet.
From the days when young Julian saw his mother's Emmy trophy as just a "cool action figure," more than 20 years have passed. This year's Emmy red carpet was, for Lisa Kudrow, an opportunity as significant as another Ha Na-ui (수상), marking a moment where a performer's career and a family's time converged in one place.
