Lisa Kudrow, known for her role in Friends, shared a heartwarming story about finding a note from her late co-star Matthew Perry in a cookie jar he gifted her from the show. The note, which Kudrow recently discovered, was a touching reminder of their time together on set.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Kudrow, now 61, reminisced about the jar that Perry, known for playing Chandler Bing, gave her at the end of their last episode. She mentioned finding the note that she had forgotten about, highlighting the sentimental value of the gesture. Kudrow emphasized how timing played a significant role in her rediscovery of the note, adding a layer of poignancy to the story.
Following Perry’s untimely passing in 2023, Kudrow, along with Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, expressed devastation at the loss, emphasizing that they were more than just castmates—they were a family. The close bond they shared extended beyond the screen, showcasing the deep connection forged during their time working together.
Perry’s struggles with addiction were well-documented, and after his death, it was revealed that he fell prey to an underground criminal network that exploited his vulnerabilities during a relapse in 2023. Despite seeking treatment for depression and anxiety, Perry found himself dependent on intravenous ketamine, underscoring the challenges he faced in his battle with addiction. However, in a testament to his resilience, Perry had set up a sober living facility to help others grappling with similar issues.
In memory of Perry, a foundation was established to assist individuals struggling with addiction, carrying on his legacy of support and compassion for those in need. While Perry’s passing was a profound loss, his enduring impact on those he touched lives on through the foundation established in his name.
