It's a sad day for the entertainment world as beloved actor Matthew Perry has passed away at the age of 54. Perry is most famous for his role as Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends, which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. Reports state that he died of an apparent drowning at his Los Angeles home.
At the time of Perry's death, no drugs were found at the scene and there was no indication of foul play. This news follows his long history of addiction. Fans around the globe have taken to social media to pay tribute to the 17 Again star. The most memorable moment from the show is Chandler's last line in the finale episode, "The Last One".
In the episode, the six main characters, Chandler, Rachel, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc, along with Paul Rudd, are about to leave Chandler and Monica's apartment for the last time. Rachel suggests they all go for one last cup of coffee at Central Perk, and Chandler jokingly responds with "Where?". The finale became the fifth-most-watched series finale of all time, with over 52 million people tuning in.
The loss of Matthew Perry has been felt around the world, with fans sharing their sadness on Twitter. One person wrote, "Seeing Matthew Perry perform the final line in Friends hits differently. My prayers go out to his loved ones and fans." Another shared, "Instead of thinking about how Matthew Perry passed away alone, let's think of it like this scene, with Chandler Bing's iconic last line of Friends. He was happy & he'd had some time for coffee and a catch up with his friends before he had to leave them."
Perry's career in the entertainment industry began much earlier than Friends, as he starred in several films, including Fools Rush In, opposite his father John Perry. He also starred in the short-lived Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, written by West Wing's Aaron Sorkin. Fans were delighted in 2021 when the Friends cast reunited on screen for the first time in years.
The world will miss Matthew Perry, and his portrayal of Chandler Bing will be remembered for years to come. May he rest in peace.
