Lisa Kudrow Acts with Son, Gets 'Mom Guilt'

Actress Lisa Kudrow recently shared her unique experience of acting alongside her son, Julian Murray Stern, in the third season of "The Comeback." This collaboration marked their first professional on-screen pairing, an event Kudrow described as both "heaven" and a source of "a little bit of guilt." She confessed that at times, she became so immersed in her role that she momentarily forgot Julian was her actual son.

Kudrow recalled a particularly amusing backstage moment where, feeling tired, she climbed into the couch next to Julian and cuddled him, prompting a simple "Hi mom" from her son and curious looks from others who may not have known their relationship. Julian, who graduated from USC's School of Cinematic Arts in 2021, admitted to being very nervous about acting with his mother, although they had previously engaged in informal sketches at home.

Julian, 27, has been building his own career in the entertainment industry, with credits in TV shows and films such as "Doomed" and "That's Hollywood, Baby." He has also worked as an editor on projects like "Presley & Brook" and several short films, even winning an award for his editing work on "Wish Upon A Disco Ball." Kudrow expressed immense pride in her son's accomplishments, a sentiment she shared in 2018 when discussing motherhood as he prepared for college.
