While Friends fans are eagerly waiting for the reunion episode to air, the popular actor from the show Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing seems to have landed himself in soup after he decided to advertise a Friends-themed merchandise.

In a tweet, Perry was seen flaunting a black shirt with the logo of the popular sitcom along with a tweet that read, “Could I BE Any More Vaccinated?
