She told Architectural Digest, "I value a meal away from technology, and even if it's just the two of us, (or) if it's us with friends, with family, that time is so limited with the opportunity to have uninterrupted conversation over a great meal”.

Hailee, whose mother is an interior designer, said she and Josh want their home to feel warm and welcoming. The actress, who gave birth to her daughter on April 2, said, "We wanted our home to feel bright and airy and comfortable, and lighting is a big thing for me, warm, soft lighting”.

The Hollywood star said, "Home is somewhere you could spend hours in and not get tired of”. Hailee married Josh in 2025, and the NFL star previously admitted that he feels "proud" of his wife. Josh, who is one of the best-paid sportsmen in the world, heaped praise on the actress following her starring role in Sinners and he described the horror film as "fantastic".

Speaking to reporters at the Buffalo Bills training, Josh said, "I'm so excited for her and so proud of her. "It's getting some great reviews and it's a fantastic movie, so go watch it”.Josh is one of the best-known players in the NFL, but he's happy to take a back seat to Hailee and her success. The sportsperson, who started dating Hailee in 2023, shared, "I'm just there trying to support her in whatever way that I can. That was her moment and I'm so glad she got to shine”.

Lisa Kudrow ‘preserved’ another role as she wasn't convinced ‘Friends’ would be a hit

Los Angeles, (IANS) Hollywood star Lisa Kudrow, popular for playing the iconic character Phoebe Buffay, was wary of leaving “Mad About You” for the then-unknown sitcom “Friends”, so was keen to "preserve" her role if possible.

She played Phoebe Buffay for 10 years on the beloved comedy series, but when she was first cast in the role, she had a recurring role as a sarcastic and indifferent waitress in an already-established comedy series.

She told Vanity Fair magazine: “I was really proud to be able to have a role on Mad About You.

“Honestly, when I shot the pilot of Friends, I thought, 'Yeah, I mean, this is a good show. But good shows don't get picked up all the time.'

"Thank God for Mad About You, which was my favourite show on TV. I mean, I thought that was such a great show. It was a quality multi-camera show…”

“If there's any hope of me being able to stay on Mad About You, after the (Friends) pilot doesn't get picked up or they pick it up for, you know, 12 more episodes, and then that's it... like after this fails, because there's no telling what's gonna happen, something can be great, and still, it gets cancelled, I'd still have Mad About You.

"I was preserving Mad About You for myself.”

After Lisa was cast in Friends, which debuted in 1994 and also starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry, the channel had a dilemma as to how to explain away the fact the same actress would be appearing in two primetime shows as different characters, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

So the actress was delighted when her Mad About You character, Ursula Buffay, was introduced as Phoebe's twin sister, adding depth to her back story.

She said: “Friends found that they had to justify why this same face and voice is gonna be on at 8:00 p.m. on Mad About You once in a while, and then there she is at 8:30 p.m. on Friends.

They had to cope with that. And incorporate Ursula into Friends. I was thrilled, you know, that I could still be Ursula."

The actress recently said that she has been catching up on old episodes of Friends but it "too embarrassed" to watch it in front of her husband Michael Stern.

Asked what sitcoms she watches, she said on BBC Radio 2: "Friends at night before going to bed. I haven't seen many episodes. I sit in the family room, and I wait until my husband goes to sleep because I'm too embarrassed for anyone to see me watching it - but I'll tell all of you!“He knows that I like watching it.” Lisa Kudrow ‘preserved’ another role as she wasn't convinced ‘Friends’ would be a hit | MorungExpress | morungexpress.com
