Matthew Perry’s on-screen love interest, Courteney Cox, penned a heartfelt note for her ‘Chandler Bing’. She took to her official Instagram account on November 14, 2023, and shared a personal emotional tribute for the late actor. The 59-year-old American actress shared a short clip from an episode of Season 4 of Friends where her character, ‘Monica’ and Matthew Perry’s character, ‘Chandler’ had a one-night stand in London. She penned:
“I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty, and I miss you every day. When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now, here’s one of my favourites. To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one-night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story. In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say. He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind.”

“It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favourite times of my life. It was an honour to share the stage with you and to call you, my friend. I will always smile when I think of you, and I’ll never forget you. Never. Spread your wings and fly, brother you’re finally free. Much love. And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.”
