Lisa Kudrow hit the red carpet with her son, Julian Murray Stern, in a rare moment in the spotlight for the Friends alum’s only child.
Kudrow, 62, and Julian, 27, posed for photos together at the Los Angeles premiere of her HBO show, The Comeback, on Thursday, March 19. She stunned in a black and white polka dot top and skirt as well as a black jacket, while he looked sharp in a blue suit and white button-down shirt.
At another point, Kudrow’s husband of 30 years, Michel Stern, joined his wife and son for pictures, wearing a navy blazer, white T-shirt, black pants and sunglasses. Kudrow stood between Michel, 67, and Julian as the trio smiled for the cameras.
Julian’s rare red carpet outing comes 28 years after his mother was pregnant with him while filming Friends. The NBCsitcom wrote Kudrow’s pregnancy into her storyline, with her character, Phoebe Buffay, acting as a surrogate for her brother, Frank Buffay Jr. (Giovanni Ribisi), and his wife, Alice Knight (Debra Jo Rupp), in seasons 4 and 5.

While Phoebe’s pregnancy arc appeared in Friends episodes airing from January to October 1998, Kudrow actually gave birth to Julian in May 1998. He subsequently spent the early years of his childhood on the set of the beloved sitcom, which ended in May 2004.

Now, Julian is starring alongside his famous mom on The Comeback. Kudrow reprises her role as Valerie Cherish on season 3 of the comedy series, which premieres on Sunday, March 22, while Julian’s character remains a mystery.
In a People interview published on Friday, March 20, Kudrow offered some insight into how she and Julian interacted on the Comeback set in between takes.
“I was kind of tired, and my brain was just a little fuzzy, and I’ve been looking at lines,” she recalled. “I walked in and I saw Julian sitting on the couch with some other people like, ‘Oh,’ and just walked over and climbed onto the couch right next to him and cuddled in.”
“And everyone just went … And he went, ‘Hi, Mom,’ and everyone was looking,” she continued. “It was maybe inappropriate just, like, to climb on him. I think some people didn’t know he was my son. So they were still wondering, ‘What’s happening right now?’”

For his part, Julian—who is an actor and editor with a film and TV production degree from the University of Southern California—told Entertainment Tonight he was “very nervous” acting alongside his mom for the first time.
“We do bits in the house sometimes, we do little sketches sometimes, but I’ve never been in front of a camera with her,” he explained at the premiere.
As for how he landed the part, Julian revealed it was actually Kudrow’s idea to cast him.
“She basically was just saying, ‘Hey, I think you’d be great for this role. He’s a nerdy, introverted guy.’ And I’m like, ‘OK, thanks, great,’” he recounted. “She just said, ‘I think this is a good opportunity. Let’s take it and run with it.’”
Although Julian is stepping into Kudrow’s onscreen world via The Comeback, he confessed he’s yet to watch Friends in full. Rather, he’s seen “bits and pieces” and has trouble separating his mom from her character. However, he vowed to “get around to” watching it all eventually.
