Julia Roberts may have been 'the biggest star in the world' when she guest-starred on 'Friends,' but director Michael Lembeck remembers her being nervous to start shooting.
Director Michael Lembeck said Roberts — "the biggest star in the world at the moment" — was squeezing his hand a little too tight when they filmed.— was a bit apprehensive about filming her scenes on the beloved sitcom, especially in front of a live studio audience.
"What's interesting with Julia is she hadn't been onstage since she was 15 years old and she replaced on Broadway in," Lembeck said. "The night of the shoot, we held hands and we were just watching the process and I thought, 'I am going to get gangrene if she squeezes my right hand any tighter.' That was just anxiety, you know, stage fright in real life. As good as she was during the week, she hasn't performed.
