‘Friends’ Actress Lisa Kudrow’s ‘Natural’ Look at 60 Ignites Heated Buzz in New Appearance: ‘Is That a Filter?’

No longer in her younger days, actress Lisa Kudrow’s recent interview on Entertainment Tonight has set social media abuzz, sparking intense speculation and debate over her strikingly natural look at 60.

In the interview, Kudrow humorously addressed a light-hearted complaint about the audience of her famous sitcom “Friends” laughing for “too long.” But it wasn’t just her words that grabbed attention.

Kudrow, dressed in a simple black shirt with minimal accessories, let her blonde hair cascade to her shoulders. She wore minimal makeup, highlighting the lines around her mouth and eyes. This choice of a more natural appearance has fans reacting passionately.

One critic wondered aloud, “is that a filter [sic]?” Another expressed surprise, asking, “Did she really age that fast?!!” while a third echoed this sentiment, saying, “Man did she age hard! And a terrible actress, sorry.” Someone else remarked, “She’s not aging well. She’s a mean woman who looks down her nose at people.”

On the other hand, supporters celebrated her apparent commitment to natural aging. One fan commented, “I live [love] that she’s had minimal work done, if any. Aging naturally is lost on so many.”

Another admirer echoed this sentiment, saying, “I love how natural she looks. No work done I think? Aging well. She looks like herself.” Others appreciated her natural appearance, noting, “I love that she hasn’t gotten any work. She looks like a normal woman of her age. God bless her.”

Despite the netizens’ mixed reactions, Kudrow remains steadfast in her approach to aging. She embraces mature roles, avoids cosmetic procedures, and maintains a warm, non-judgmental personality.

As for her career, Kudrow is open to playing characters beyond her age. “I’m just going to play older roles. I think older women have a lot to say. It’s good to get older,” she remarked in 2017, highlighting her positive outlook on aging and her belief in the value of older women’s stories.

Kudrow’s apprehension towards procedures like Botox and fillers is evident. “I’m too afraid to do Botox or filler or plastic surgery. It doesn’t mean I won’t ever do it, but it all scares me a little too much,” she admitted in 2014.

Instead, she focuses on her belief that everyone’s beauty shines through when they smile. “I think everyone’s beautiful when they’re smiling. So I try to be happy. Drink in the good stuff,” Kudrow shared.

She also emphasizes the importance of adopting a non-judgmental attitude toward others as one age. Reflecting on this, she stated, “As you get older, there are fewer Dos and Don’ts. You’re less judgmental of yourself and others. My advice: Be a good listener; human beings are very complicated.”

In addition to embracing aging, exploring new acting roles, and fostering a more compassionate outlook, Kudrow treasures her thriving marriage and longtime home, as reported on May 1, 2024. For over 25 years, the actress has called the same Beverly Hills residence home, sharing it with her husband, Michel Stern.

When they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, Kudrow and her husband found themselves apart due to the pandemic. Ever the humorist, the TV star shared the unique dynamics of their relationship on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2020.

She highlighted the challenges and joys of spending such a significant milestone apart. “We are so used to not actually being able to be together on our anniversary. We are like, ‘Oh, well. Does it matter? I love you. You still love me? Yeah. Great. We’re good,'” she said.

While residing in their Beverly Hills residence with their son, Kudrow humorously remarked on her lighter schedule compared to her husband. Stern, at the time, busied himself overseeing renovations at their Palm Springs property, a role that had him actively tend to various tasks.

Kudrow playfully portrayed Stern’s responsibilities as involving a fair amount of “running around after people with wipes,” showcasing her trademark wit even amid the hustle and bustle of their respective activities.

Her wit extends beyond her professional life. In 1996, capitalizing on the early success of “Friends,” Kudrow made a substantial investment by acquiring a stunning 6,400-square-foot residence in Beverly Hills for $1.9 million. This splendid home serves as the cherished abode for Kudrow and her family.

Despite her on-screen eccentricity in “Friends,” Kudrow’s personal life reveals a minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic. Instagram posts and interviews occasionally offer glimpses into the serene elegance of her living space.

These glimpses showcase a modern, monochrome design with vaulted ceilings and wooden beams. The living area features a cream sofa, a brown suede armchair, and a sleek TV unit. Adding a playful touch, a box of dog toys sits beside the sofa, while cream carpets complete the room.

As revealed in the interview with Kimmel, Kudrow’s residence features a dedicated home office adorned with an array of family photos and memorabilia from her time on “Friends.” Among these cherished items are figurines representing the six main cast members and the iconic Cookie Time jar.

Transitioning to the bedroom, a cozy ambiance prevails, characterized by a black TV unit, a four-poster bed, and a pillow adorned with a photo of her beloved pet dog.

Within the kitchen, the presence of wooden cabinets and white countertops establishes a harmonious ambiance. A seamless transition is achieved with a breakfast bar that leads into the open-plan living area.

Orange stools and cream armchairs add vibrancy to the bar, illuminated by a grey light fixture overhead. A large circular mirror decorates one wall. The dining room includes a black wooden table, matching cupboards, a console table, and white leather dining chairs.

Surrounded by a lush garden, the house boasts a glass balcony that offers breathtaking views of the city. Modern black sofas with white cushions provide a serene space for Kudrow to unwind and soak in the fresh air.

Kudrow’s personal style, marked by understated elegance, resonates with the minimalist trend evident throughout her home. This design choice provides a tranquil escape from the bustling entertainment industry.

From the few glimpses she has given her fans inside her home, they can see that it is worlds apart from Phoebe Buffay’s – but just as charming and delightful.

Lisa Kudrow‘s ability to blend humor with profound wisdom underscores her enduring appeal both on and off-screen. Her graceful approach to aging and enduring love for her husband, alongside her appreciation for her 25-year marriage and serene Beverly Hills home, further highlight her cherished icon status for generations to come.
