Lisa Kudrow had a nose job, and she went from hideous to not hideous, she says.
Kudrow, best known for her recurring role in the hit television series “Friends,” told the Saturday Evening Post that the nose job was “life altering.
“I went from, in my mind, hideous, to not hideous,” she said. “I did it the summer before going to a new high school. So there were plenty of people who wouldn’t know how hideous I looked before.”
“That was a good, good, good change,” she added.
The surgery happened after her two best friends in junior high school told her that they didn’t want to be friends with her anymore.
“That happened in seventh grade when we moved from sixth grade to a new school,” she explained. “So they knew some people, and I didn’t. Eventually they just got tired of me being a tag-along. They said, ‘For your own good, you need to see what would happen if we weren’t here.’ It was really brutal. Very hard.”
“All of junior high felt upside down to me,” she added.
In regards to “Friends,” she’s glad the show stopped and they went out on top. Cast members were making $1 million per show during the last two seasons.
And does she still get called Phoebe (who she played in “Friends”)?
“Yes, they do. I don’t turn around. I never turn around. If someone’s in front of me, I’ll smile and try to be nice. But I don’t like taking pictures. Autographs are fine.”
