Lisa Kudrow 'Not Interested' in 'Friends' Reunion: 'I'm Too Old'

It's been nearly 10 years since NBC's "Friends" went off the air, and while fans may want to see a reunion special, some members of the cast are simply not interested in catching up with their characters.

"I'm too old," Lisa Kudrow told the Huffington Post. "I wouldn't even have an interest in seeing what those people are doing 10 years later as parents that have to be responsible. It would be so different that it wouldn't be 'Friends' anymore."

The actress played Phoebe Buffay for the 10 years "Friends" was on the air. Phoebe was the free spirit who, in the last season, settled down and married the love of her life. "Friends" was one of NBC's most popular TV shows and featured prominently on its Must See TV Thursday nights.

Since then, Kudrow has been busy with her own web-turned-TV series, "Web Therapy," in which she plays a horrible, self-absorbed therapist named Fiona Wallace. Kudrow's show started out as a web series but quickly became so popular that it now airs on Showtime. The show is currently in its fifth season and has featured a prominent array of guest stars including former co-star Courteney Cox.

While Kudrow insisted that she is "too old" for a reunion, she did say that she would be willing to do a reunion "if everyone wanted to do it."

"And everyone isn't the six of us," she clarified. "It's David Crane and Mara Kauffman who created the show, too."

In addition to working on "Web Therapy," Kudrow is also working on, and will star in, the upcoming season of "Who Do You Think You Are?" The show features celebrities who are interested in learning the truth about their heritage and helps them trace their roots as far back as possible. The upcoming season will feature Kelly Clarkson and Trisha Yearwood.

The latest season "Web Therapy" premieres tonight at 11:00 p.m. ET on Showtime.
