Lisa Kudrow Reveals She Was Mistaken for Dionne Warwick—And Yes, We're Confused Too
Lisa Kudrow Seemingly Confirms Shocking Amount of Money ‘Friends’ Cast Still Makes Every Year
Lisa Kudrow keeps smilin’ over this hilarious fan interaction.
After all, the Friends actress revealed a truly befuddling encounter when she was confused with music legend Dionne Warwick. Yes, you read that correctly.
“It was during Friends, and I was going to Jerry’s Deli or something,” Kudrow recalled during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable conversation with Keke Palmer, Quinta Brunson, Rachel Sennott and more comedians, “and the hostess goes ‘Oh! OK. I’ll show you your table.’ And I went, ‘Aw she’s seen Friends that’s cute.’”
But, as it turned out, the hostess was a much bigger fan Warwick’s 1985 song “That’s What Friends Are For”—and not the sitcom starring Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.
“She took me to the table and she had an accent—she was from somewhere in Eastern Europe—and just went, ‘Uh, I know who you are,’” Kudrow continued. “She said, ‘You are Dionne Warwick’ And I just went, ‘No, I’m not!’”
Initially, the 62-year-old was relieved she was not actually recognized by the fan, but then confusion settled in.
