“More than your child?” Ellen snapped back. Then Kudrow said, ‘You know, if he asks me something inappropriate, I have to say no.’

She said: “Tell Disney you want a sequel. [Producer] Robin Schiff will find out. She has ideas that are brewing. Yes I would. [like to do it] I think it would be really fun!’
The comedy star – who was at the height of his fame at the time of the original film’s release with the role of Phoebe Buffay in Friends – also joked it would be interesting to see what the quirky characters would look like in their 50s.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she added: ‘And then a bit of ‘How are you our age?!’
