Friends star Lisa Kudrow shares a rare photo of lookalike son and fans can’t believe resemblance

Former Friends star Lisa Kudrow has posted a rare picture of her son – and he’s the spitting image of his famous mum.

The 57-year-old actress shared a snap of 23-year-old Julian Murray Stern to her Instagram as they celebrated his birthday over FaceTime.

‘Face time [sic] with my boy to say happy birthday!!’ Lisa wrote in the caption.

Lisa became pregnant with Julian while starring in the hit show but, instead of having her hide her pregnancy, it became a core plot of the show.

Show writers had her character, Phoebe, become pregnant with triplets, as she was a surrogate for her brother in the show. This allowed Lisa to show off her real-life baby bump on screen.

Fans were quick to point out how similar the two look in the comments of the photo.

‘He looks just like you. So cute!’ wrote one fan, while another chimed in: ‘He is your double.’

Another person commented: ‘He has your eyes.’

Julian is the only child of Lisa and husband Michael Stern and it looks like he could be following in the footsteps of his mother, as he already has special effects and makeup credits on his IMDB page.

He has also directed his own film Mind Made Up for his college thesis, which he recently revealed had been selected for the upcoming Portland Comedy Film Festival.

The hotly-anticipated Friends reunion finally finished filming in April.

The eagerly-awaited reunion of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer was supposed to be broadcast last summer, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Friends fans surely won’t have to wait too much longer to see the cast of their favourite sitcom back together again as the show’s official Instagram page confirmed it’s now been shot.

‘That’s a wrap! 🎬 Could we BE anymore excited!?’ the post confirmed, alongside a picture of the set last month.

A release date for the Friends reunion is yet to be announced.
