Two weeks ago, Matthew Perry passed away in his LA home at the age of 54. The actor had not only influenced innumerable people through his character ‘Chandler’ in ‘Friends’, he shaped an entire generation. Some of his closest people, the cast of ‘Friends’, couldn’t break their silence over his passing for a decent amount of time. After all, what could they say about losing a dear friend?
However, Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc have finally broken their silence over Matthew Perry’s passing. The two of them took to Instagram to individually share a touching note about the kind of friendship they shared with him.

Courteney Cox, who played ‘Monica’, shared a scene from ‘Friends’, the one where Chandler and Monica slept together the night before Ross’ wedding and wrote:
“I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day. When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now here’s one of my favorites. To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story. In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say. He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind.”

Matt LeBlanc, who played Chandler’s best friend ‘Joey’ on the show, shared snippets that captured some of their best moments.
He wrote, “Matthew. It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life. It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never. Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love. And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.”
This is heartbreaking!
