“Nothing on planet Earth prepares you for being a mother,” she toldPeoplein 2018.
Motherhood has allowed her to tap into her emotions even making it easier to tackle challenging acting scenarios.
“That’s a really good thing!
Just about anything about my child makes me cry.”
The “Web Therapy” actor has also experienced another side to parenting: fear.
“Being a mom made me fear for the first time in my life.
The stakes felt huge,” she toldRedbook.
Meet Julian Murray Stern, Lisa Kudrow’s only child.
The show ran for 10 seasons, and the cast lived through many of their own milestones while filming.
Stern was born May 7, 1998, and Kudrow has spoken about being pregnant on set.
“So sweet, they included my little fetus in the huddle.”
As a child, Stern did hang around the set, which bothered Kudrow.
“A set really isn’t a place for a toddler to be running around.
It wasn’t a fun place for him,” she said on the podcast “Literally!
With Rob Lowe” in 2021.
But her co-stars, specificallyJennifer Aniston, made her son feel loved.
“She’s a lovebug, and that made sense.
“He doesn’t care about me.”
Having her son on the set of “Friends” was challenging he was five when it wrapped.
He gave no clues to his whereabouts on the post but wrote in the caption, “Hi.
How are ya?”
The “Space Force” actor discussed being a mom of one in an interview on “Bethenny.”
“I feel bad.
In an interview withThe Guardianin 2015, she explained why this was.
“You think you’re controlling the story.
He posted two photos of her.
“I am very late to this, but nevertheless, happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
You are the most caring and supportive mother I could have asked for!”
he wrote in the caption.
“So I take a stab at make it all as 9-to-5 as possible.
I stopped doing out-of-town films years ago.
You have to know your kid.”
In a chat on the podcast “Literally!
With Rob Lowe” in 2021, Kudrow spoke about these challenges again.
“I did not like him experiencing me not as mommy.
His Bar Mitzvah has made headlines
Lisa Kudrow is Jewish.
Did you have a Bar Mitzvah?'”
She later referred to it as “a drive-by Bar Mitzvah.”
As for what it entailed?
“They did a ritual, took a picture.
He was all by himself, and he had his own Bar Mitzvah,” she said.
Kudrow spoke about her faith and her experience with anti-Semitism in the same chat.
She also had harsh experiences with friends no longer wanting to associate with her because of her beliefs.
In the photo, Kudrow is standing next to Stern, who is wearing his graduation cap and gown.
“Happy, proud, HAPPY.
And a little crying.
By me, not him @juls_magewls,” she captioned the post.
Before Stern’s graduation, his mom had discussed the adjustments since he left home.
It’s hard,” she told “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2018.
“I think I did a good job injecting him with the right amount of fear.
He’s independent and good.”
It’s not that they look down on it.
They think it was very brave becoming an actor, but it’s not fascinating.”
Kudrow understands the entertainment industry and is aware that there is a downside to the glitz and the glamor.
“You need a point of reference for the world you’re living in.
My fear is if [Julian] were to become successful, that’d be a disaster.
Luckily, he waited and did not have to contend with these challenges.
“I’m not good on vacations.
And I like facials.”
In 2019, Stern posted a bunch of photos onInstagramfrom his travels in France.
“As of right now, I give this trip one Big Ju with a thumbs up.”
“I monologue at him,” she told People in 2018.
… More than any human being can possibly listen to.”
“A man with no voice lives a life of constant bullying for not having a mouth.
“Finally obtaining a mouth, the Voiceless Man abuses his eloquence for hate and violence.”
