Paul Rudd's Daughter Loves Friends, But Hated Seeing Him In It

Writer James Rogers

During a 2023 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Paul Rudd revealed that his teenage daughter loves "Friends" but doesn't exactly like the fact that he had a role on the series. "About a year ago or two years ago, my daughter really loved 'Friends,' and she kind of started watching all of them from the beginning and kept going," Rudd explained (via Insider). "And I didn't tell her I was on it, and then she discovered that, and then the first thing she said is, 'What was going on with your hair?' and then, like, 'Ew, that sweater,'" he added.

However, that wasn't the first time Rudd got candid about his daughter's dislike for his "Friends" role. The actor revealed that while watching the show with his daughter, Darby, he would often try to talk to her about an episode, but she didn't care much for his anecdotes. "I hadn't really revisited many of those episodes. But now that she's watching it, it's like, 'Oh, I remember this,' and I tell her some story about it. ... I'm far enough away from some things now that I can allow myself to be a little nostalgic about it," he revealed to People in 2021. "But then she'll just be like, 'Well, you're not Joey.'"

While Rudd's daughter may not be a fan of his time on "Friends," many fans feel differently and love that the actor is still close with his former co-star Jennifer Aniston.
