David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry, two of the stars of the beloved sitcom Friends, had a special bond both on and off screen. In a recent podcast interview, Schwimmer opened up about his relationship with Perry and how it evolved over the years.
The two actors starred as best friends Ross Geller and Chandler Bing on Friends, which ran for a decade from 1994 to 2004. Along with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc, they portrayed a group of six friends navigating life in New York City.
However, last year the cast was saddened by the passing of Perry at the age of 54. In the wake of his death, his co-stars shared heartfelt tributes and memories of their time working together.
In the podcast interview, Schwimmer revealed that Perry was initially reserved with him when they first started working on the show. But as time went on, they developed a close friendship and a deep admiration for each other's talents.
Schwimmer shared that during their time on the show, Perry once praised his skills in physical comedy and described him as a "linchpin" in their scenes. This was a huge compliment for Schwimmer, who had a background in theatre and took great care in choreographing and perfecting physical scenes.
Reflecting on Perry's kind words, Schwimmer expressed his surprise and gratitude, as he had always thought of Perry as someone who kept his emotions and compliments to himself. He also shared a poignant throwback photo of the two of them on set, which he described as one of his favorite moments with Perry.
As the world continues to mourn Perry's passing, his legacy lives on through his iconic role on Friends. The show is still streaming on Netflix, and fans can relive all the laughter, heart, and friendship that Perry brought to his character.
