Heartfelt Tribute: Jennifer Aniston Honors Beloved ‘Friends’ Co-Star Matthew Perry on His First Death Anniversary
Beloved Friends star Matthew Perry, renowned for his role as Chandler Bing, passed away on October 28, 2023, due to a ketamine overdose. On the first anniversary of his untimely death, his co-star Jennifer Aniston shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, posting a series of nostalgic photos and a simple message that read, “1 year,” accompanied by a mending heart and dove emoji. Her post, which touched fans and garnered nearly three million likes in just a few hours, included images of the two from both on and off the set.
Perry’s death shocked both fans and fellow cast members, leading to several touching tributes at the time. Aniston’s recent post tagged the Matthew Perry Foundation, which aims to continue the late actor’s commitment to helping those struggling with addiction—a struggle he openly discussed in his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”
Meanwhile, Perry’s stepfather and sister also paid their respects ahead of the anniversary, though the rest of Perry’s co-stars have yet to share their tributes. In honor of Perry’s legacy, the official Friends Instagram account invited fans to share their favorite Chandler moments, also promoting donations to the Matthew Perry Foundation.
Chandler Bing, the wry and awkward character portrayed by Perry, remains a fan favorite. His memorable line to Aniston’s Rachel, “I’m not great at the advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?” stands as a testament to his beloved humor.
The series recently marked its 30th anniversary, albeit with a somber tone due to Perry’s passing. Friends creators Kevin S. Bright and Marta Kauffman remembered Perry’s impact, noting his ability to bring joy despite his struggles with addiction. Fans can continue to enjoy his work by streaming Friends and its 2021 reunion special on Max.
