Matthew Perry: Friends actor will always be remembered

“The One Where We All Lost A Friend”

Rest in peace Matthew Perry. You will be forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.

Friends has always been my favourite tv-show, I have seen every episode multiple times and even was named after ‘Phoebe Buffay’ (thank you brothers).

I woke up at 2am, when my boyfriend was getting ready for work, turned on my phone and read about the death of Matthew Perry and was heartbroken. A beloved actor, writer and the nation’s ‘friend’, will truly be missed.

Chandler Bing brought joy to everyone around the world. Chandler was the comedy gold that everyone needed, the love and joy and happiness the character and Matthew brought to homes will never leave. Friends is able to stream and watch whenever you want, is constantly on tv and people still get to grow up and fall in love with the show and Chandler Bing.

Everything Matthew did was more than just friends, he wrote a book, a play and starred in other great shows and movies. In the final years of his life, Perry became more well-known for talking openly about addiction, substance abuse, and recovery. Most notably in his memoir which was published last year Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.

Matthew Perry’s role on Friends will be seen as his greatest achievement, but in his final days, it appears the story behind his worst moments was the legacy he wanted to leave. 

Matthew, you couldn’t be more missed.
