Lisa Kudrow is still grieving the loss of her good friend, Matthew Perry. After she avoided watching "Friends" for years, because she felt embarrassed when she saw herself, the 60-year-old star said she restarted the series, in honor of her late friend.
"He was very gallant and that's what I want to remember from him," said Lisa, adding that she laughed a lot with the comic series. "I'm amazed by Courtney Cox (in the role of Monica Geller); I'm in awe of Jennifer Aniston (as Rachel Green) and of course, Matthew is unique and gallant. No one captures the rhythm of comedy like he does. Matt LeBlanc is also gallant and Davis Schwimmer," she said referring to the roles of actors such as Joey and Ross. Lisa modestly admitted that she sometimes laughs even with her role.
"This is how I celebrate our anniversaries, watching Friends." But it's awkward. If someone walks into my room and I'm watching Friends, it's a terrible sight, isn't it?'' he added.
The actress shared that her favorite memories are related to the cast gathering on set and the jokes they shared.
"We were laughing all the time in between sets because they are people who make you laugh. Especially Matthe, who had a goal: How many laughs can I get in everyday life, every day? So we always laughed a lot, tears came out of us", she said.
Matthew Perry, known as Chandler Bing in the famous series "Friends", passed away at the age of 54. The actor was found dead in his home, in the "Pacific Palisades" neighborhood in Los Angeles.
He died of "acute effects of ketamine," according to the autopsy report. He was reportedly receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety before his death.
A post-mortem examination concluded that Perry died from "acute effects of ketamine" while contributing factors included "drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine", which is used to treat opioid use disorder.
