THIS nepo-baby was born into television royalty, thanks to one of his parents being a cast member of Friends.
The rising star in question is now forging his own career as an actor, but can you guess which star of the famous sitcom he’s related to?
We are of course talking about Lisa Kudrow’s son, Julian Murray Stern, 27.
The actress, 61, is best known for playing Phoebe Buffay in Friends, alongside Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry.
Lisa was actually pregnant with Julian whilst she was filming the show.
Her pregnancy was written into the fourth season of Friends in 1998, when Phoebe was carrying her brother’s triplets.
Lisa previously recalled some fond memories of this time on the set of the famous sitcom.
“The six of us would do a huddle backstage and just say, ‘All right, have a good show, love you love you love you love you.,'” she told People.
“And when I was pregnant, then they would say, ‘Have a great show, love you love you — love you, little Julian!’
“This was because we knew it was a boy and that was his name.
She then added how “sweet” she found this gesture from her famous co-stars.
Lisa shares Julian with her French husband Michael Stern, who she wed in 1995.

Following in his famous mom’s footsteps, Julian is forging a career in acting and has starred in the TV series, That’s Hollywood, Baby, and the short film. Big City Boy.
He has also got a number credits for editing.
Lisa would often bring Julian to work with her when she filmed Friends, so he grew up on the set.
However, her son hasn’t always a fan of his mother’s work.
During an interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Lisa revealed how her Julian only recently watched the first few episode of Friends, and was surprised at how “impressive” it was.
“He called me up and said, ‘So I just watched the first two episodes. It’s really good, Mom,’ ” she revealed. “I said, ‘Thanks.’ He said, ‘Can I ask you some questions about that?’ I’m like, ‘Yes!’ I almost started crying. I didn’t think that anyone in my family liked that show.”
She continued, “He was 5 when we were finished … but he did start watching when his friends at school started watching.
“[But when] he watched it and he was impressed.”
Lisa is incredibly proud of her son, and told OK! magazine in 2020: “He’s unbelievably great.We lucked out.”
She added: “I try to advise him about girls, then I realise I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.”
