London: `Friends` star Lisa Kudrow based her hippie character `Phoebe` on her co-star Jennifer Aniston because of the actress` interest in "spiritual" subjects.Kudrow had won an Emmy Award for her role in the hit US sitcom, picking up the prize for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1998 for her portrayal of wacky masseuse Phoebe Buffay.
But Kudrow has revealed that she found it difficult to relate to her character`s hippie side and turned to Aniston for inspiration. "Pheobe was so spiritual and `out there` - and I wasn`t at all. Not at all. If anyone was it was Jennifer. She introduced me to certain books that gave me an insight into that world - which was a more spiritual realm," Kudrow said. Bureau Report
