Lisa Kudrow opened up about her working experience with Emma Stone.

The duo has starred in 2009s Paper Man and 2010s Easy A.

The Friends star had doubt that the Spider-Man actress judged her for the performing skills as she faced a major on-set challenge.

In an interview with the Vanity Fair, Kudrow lauded Stone’s acting chops calling her "phenomenally talented."

Sharing the issues Kudrow faced while filming, The Comeback actress explained that in both the films she was unable to produce tears.

"I was going through this period of, it lasted like five years, where I couldn’t cry," she recalled. "There were no tears coming and in this scene in particular, I was feeling devastated."

The Mad About You actress went on to call it the "craziest thing" to ever happen to her, adding that she kept on thinking, "Emma Stone must think 'I'm like the worst actress on the planet.'"

The dry period went on for roughly five years and eventually overcome it.

Kudrow, in an appearance at the Jimmy Kimmel Live!, shared that while having re-runs of Friends she cries out of happiness and laughter.
