Kudrow went on to explain how the cast was so supportive.

\"We all still love each other. Our cast is like that, and that’s why that worked,\" the \"Booksmart\" star explained. \"I think part of me died. I can’t do that again.\"

Kudrow clarified she doesn't feel this way about the projects she produces herself. \"Maybe I’m just becoming a f------ nut as I grow older,\" she surmised. \"That’s possible.\"

As for Aniston, she explained that her return to television on Apple TV Plus' \"The Morning Show\" was a no-brainer, not because she related to the character she played but because \"there were a lot of things that were really fun and there to play with.\"

The 51-year-old also showed off her impressive memory skills, recalling what everyone wore during the first \"Friends\" table read ... everyone except her, that is.

The two will star together in a future HBO Max \"Friends\" reunion special.
