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