Lisa Kudrow – Learns To Accept Her Body Type

Lisa Kudrow was one of the most beloved characters when she portrayed Phoebe Buffay in a 1994’s sitcom. However, despite the love she received from the viewers, Kudrow experienced body insecurities in the show, especially during costume fittings.

“Seeing myself on the show and seeing myself in clothes and seeing Courteney and Jennifer, I thought, ‘Oh, they know tailoring so they can discuss it with the costume designer about where exactly to take it in,’” she uttered during her appearance on the Podcrushed podcast.

She also mentioned that she asked her costars to accompany her during fittings, but it didn’t change the way felt about her body. Kudrow then realized that it was not about the tailoring but it’s the shape of her body. However, when she reached her early 40s, the actress learned to accept her body and she mentioned that all those insecurities are just “in your own head.”
