Sometime back, Matthew Perry had conducted an AMA session on Instagram where he had spoken about his ‘best movie’ Fools Rush In. A fan had asked him ‘if playing Chandler was his most treasured role’, and to this, he replied, “I did a movie that I love called Fools Rush In with @salmahayek – that was probably my best movie (Sic).” Salma Hayek shared a screenshot of the same on her post.

Matthew Perry’s Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer released an emotional statement recently about the loss of their dear friend, who they called ‘family’.

“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss. In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world,” the statement read.

Earlier, the show makers also paid their tribute to Perry via a statement. “It still seems impossible,” the show’s principle creative team, Marta Kauffman, David Crane and Kevin Bright, said in a joint statement on Sunday. “All we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives.”
