Reese Witherspoon Reveals Why She Refused A Return To 'Friends'

Witherspoon had a cameo as Jennifer Aniston's on-screen sister Jill Green in the hit sitcom.

Actor Reese Witherspoon turned down a return to “Friends” because of her fear of performing in front of a live studio audience.

“Did you know they asked me back and I said ‘no, I can’t do it.’ I was too scared,” she said in an interview with the Associated Press this week.

“I got scared. I got scared,” she added. “Yeah, they asked me to come back and I was like ‘I’m too nervous.’”
