After the heartbreaking news of Matthew Perry's death, his body was returned to his bereaved family on a gloomy Sunday afternoon. The 54-year-old actor's life was brutally taken on a Saturday night in what appears to have been a drowning event. His death's precise cause is still being looked into.
In a heartfelt statement, the Perry family expressed their deep sorrow, describing Matthew as a source of joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. They also appreciated the outpouring of love from his fans and well-wishers.
Lisa Kudrow, who famously played Phoebe Buffay alongside Perry's Chandler Bing in the iconic TV show "Friends," expressed her disbelief at his sudden death. She shared that the entire "Friends" cast is struggling to come to terms with the loss and mentioned her intention to attend the funeral and adopt Matthew's dog.
As of now, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Courteney Cox have not commented on the situation. However, reports suggest that Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox may not be in favor of Meghan Markle's attendance, possibly leading to her being blacklisted from the "Friends" stars' funeral.
It's puzzling why Meghan would wish to attend a Hollywood funeral, especially when the deceased, Matthew Perry, was never married despite his associations with various A-list women such as Julia Roberts, Valerie Bertinelli, Lizzy Caplan, and others. Meghan's intentions have left many shocked as they question her motivations, relevance, and integrity.
Additionally, Meghan has had past interactions with the "Friends" cast, particularly with Jennifer Aniston, where there were reports of demands and irritations during her appearance on "Horrible Bosses." All these factors seem to suggest her unwelcome presence at the funeral.
Furthermore, experts have been analyzing Meghan Markle's career trajectory, suggesting that she hasn't achieved the level of success she might have hoped for since 2020. Some commentators, like Daniel Elsa, have offered critical insights into her future, highlighting the significant gap between her current path and the one initially envisioned for her in early 2020.
It's worth noting that Matthew Perry, the 54-year-old actor, tragically passed away on the birthday of Hollywood star Julia Roberts, whom he dated for a year. They met on the set of "Friends" when Julia made a guest appearance on the show as Matthew's love interest. According to US media reports, they dated from 1995 to 1996.
Matthew reportedly struggled with drug addiction, and despite their separation, Julia offered her help when she learned that he was facing challenges. She invited him to spend time on her ranch in New Mexico after rehab if he needed a getaway.
Family, friends, and fellow celebrities mourned the loss of Matthew Perry on Sunday, a day after he was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Perry's portrayal of the wise-cracking co-star on the 1990s hit television sitcom "Friends" brought joy to millions. His family expressed their heartbreak over the tragic loss of their beloved son and brother.
