Sandra Bullock is a Friends fan!

While appearing on the Tuesday, July 16, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Lisa Kudrow revealed that the actress, 59, once accidentally called her by her famous character’s name at a party.

Asked by guest host Anthony Anderson how often she gets addressed as Phoebe, the 60-year-old responded, “Oh my God! I just love this, I was at a party, a big party, and I was talking to Sandra Bullock, name-dropping, I have to, but it’s true, and we were talking and she was like, ‘Well I guess you’ll just have to talk to yourself Phoebe, about something,’ and she called me Phoebe!”

“But she caught herself,” Kudrow, who was on the show promoting her new Apple TV+ series Time Bandits, continued with a laugh. “She went, ‘What did I just do?’ ”

Kudrow played singer-songwriter Phoebe Buffay on the beloved sitcom for 10 seasons until its final show in 2004.

Anderson, 53, went on to ask the Space Force star what her first week after wrapping the long-running series was like.

“Do you know what? I forgot, and like a week ago it just came up. My husband and son were talking and apparently I was crying in the kitchen,” she said. “And my son was 5 and he wanted to know why I was crying. And my husband said, ‘Well she’s sad because Friends is done,’ and he said, ‘But she can see her friends, she can just call them.’ No clue, I had no clue that he never knew what the show was called, he just knew I worked on a show. 'Why is she crying?' ”

Kudrow welcomed her son Julian Murray — now 26 — with her husband Michel Stern in May 1998.

In 2022, the actress jokingly revealed that her son was “demeaning” about her role as Phoebe after first watching the show when he was sick with COVID-19.

"He called me up and said, 'So I just watched the first two episodes. It's really good, Mom,' " she recalled during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Myers. "I said, 'Thanks.' He said, 'Can I ask you some questions about that?' I'm like, 'Yes!' I almost started crying. I didn't think that anyone in my family liked that show."
