Lisa Kudrow Finds Note from Friends Co-Star Matthew Perry
Lisa Kudrow shared a heartwarming story on The Drew Barrymore Show recently. She found a note from her late Friends co-star, Matthew Perry, in a cookie jar that he had given her from the set. Perry, loved by fans for his portrayal of Chandler Bing in the iconic sitcom, passed away in 2023 at the age of 54.
Kudrow, now 61, revealed that Matthew had given her the cookie jar after their last episode together. She had kept it all this time and just recently stumbled upon the note he had left inside. Speaking about the discovery, Kudrow mentioned that she had forgotten about the note inside and expressed gratitude for the timing of finding it.
The close-knit Friends cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow, described themselves as more than castmates in a touching joint statement following Perry’s passing. They considered themselves a family, having forged strong bonds during their time together on the show.
Matthew Perry’s battle with substance abuse was well-documented, and his struggles continued even before his tragic death. An investigation following his passing revealed troubling details about a criminal network that exploited Perry’s vulnerability during a period of addiction relapse. Despite his personal challenges, Perry was known for his efforts to help others dealing with addiction, including setting up a sober living facility.
In honor of his memory, a foundation was established to continue Perry’s work of offering support to those battling addiction. Tragically, his death shed light on the darker side of addiction treatment, prompting legal action against individuals who took advantage of him. The legacy of Matthew Perry lives on, not only through his memorable performances on screen but also through the positive impact he had in helping others in need.
