Lisa Kudrow recently shared in an interview that she has been rewatching Friends. She mentioned that she is doing this to honor her former co-star Matthew Perry, who played the beloved character of Chandler Bing. Sadly, Perry passed away in October at the age of 54, and his death is currently under investigation. The autopsy results revealed that his cause of death was due to the effects of ketamine.
In the interview, Kudrow opened up about the heartbreaking loss of her friend and how she is keeping his memory alive by watching the show they worked on together. She shared, "Honestly, I wasn't able to watch it because it's too embarrassing to watch yourself. But if I make it about Matthew, then that's okay. And it's just celebrating how hilarious he was - and that is what I want to remember about him."
When asked about her thoughts on rewatching the show now, Kudrow continued, "I'm laughing out loud, and everyone is hilarious. I'm blown away by Courteney Cox. I'm blown away by Jen. Lisa and Matthew had some of their most iconic scenes together. Matthew, obviously, is just uniquely hilarious. No one ever knew that cadence or comedic rhythm before him. Matt LeBlanc is hilarious. And David Schwimmer, too. Sometimes I even laugh at what I've done."
Kudrow also shared some fond memories of filming the show, which ended in 2004. She recalled how the cast would laugh together all day long, with tears flying out of their faces. Lisa and Matthew were also close friends behind the scenes, and she recently shared a heartfelt tribute to him after his passing.
Reflecting on how Perry wanted to be remembered, Kudrow said, "I think the world is remembering him the way he wanted to be remembered. I think that's happening already." The news of Perry's death was made public on October 8, and the Friends cast released a joint statement two days later, expressing their devastation and sharing that they were more than just co-stars - they were a family.
In a separate message, Kudrow thanked Perry for the best 10 years of her life, sharing a throwback photo of them together. She wrote, "Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY. Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you."
