In a heartfelt statement, Perry's family expressed their deep sorrow, highlighting Matthew's role as a source of joy in the world, both as an actor and a friend. They acknowledged the outpouring of love from his fans and well-wishers.
Lisa Kudrow, who famously portrayed Phoebe Buffay alongside Perry's Chandler Bing, expressed her disbelief at his sudden demise. She revealed that the entire cast of "Friends" is struggling to come to terms with the loss. Kudrow also 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, there are reports that Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are not in favor of Meghan Markle's attendance, which could potentially lead to her being blacklisted from the funeral of the "Friends" star.
The idea of Meghan wanting to attend a Hollywood funeral, particularly that of Matthew Perry, who was never married despite his connections with several famous women, has left many perplexed. His past associations include Julia Roberts, Valerie Bertinelli, Lizzy Caplan, and others.
Meghan's intentions have raised questions about her motivations, relevance, and integrity, especially given her previous interactions with the "Friends" cast, which were rumored to involve demands and irritations during her appearance on "Horrible Bosses."
Furthermore, experts have been analyzing Meghan Markle's career trajectory, concluding that she hasn't achieved the level of success she may have aspired to. Commentators have pointed out the stark contrast between her current path and the one originally envisioned for her in the early 2020s.
It's worth noting that Matthew Perry, who was 54 at the time of his passing, died on the birthday of Hollywood star Julia Roberts, with whom he had a one-year relationship. The two dated while working together on the set of "Friends" when Julia guest-starred as Matthew's love interest. Reportedly, they were romantically involved from 1995 to 1996. When Matthew faced struggles with drug addiction, Julia offered her support and encouraged him to seek help. She even invited him to spend time on her ranch in New Mexico after rehab.
Family, friends, and fellow celebrities have been mourning the loss of Matthew Perry, the witty co-star of the 1990s hit TV series "Friends," who was found dead in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Perry's family expressed their heartbreak over the tragic loss of their beloved brother and son in a statement.
