One of the memorable things about the series Friends was the friendship it left among its cast, which was shaken after the death of Matthew Perry. One of the closest to the late actor was Lisa Kudrow, who recently revealed that she had received a special gift from him, but had only recently found it.
Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the popular comedy, died on October 28, 2023 due to a ketamine overdose at the age of 54.
What did Matthew Perry give to Lisa Kudrow as a gift?
The 61-year-old actress attended as a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show on January 7th, and the host asked her if she had ever stolen something from the set, mentioning a cookie jar. Kudrow replied, "Matthew gave it to me when we finished filming the last episode."
He added: "And recently I found the note that was inside for me." He continued: "I had never opened it or looked at what was inside. But, yes. He left me a note and I forgot. How important it is to choose the right moment."
After the tragic death of Perry, the stars of Friends Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Kudrow issued a joint statement, ensuring they were "completely devastated." They also added: "We were more than castmates. We are a family."
Lisa Kudrow, in particular, who starred as the lovable and carefree Phoebe Buffay, made a post on her Instagram profile in honor of Perry, in which she wrote: “Thank you for making me laugh so much with what you said that it made my muscles hurt and tears come to my eyes EVERY DAY. Thank you for the solidarity you showed in a bond of six people that required commitment. And many ‘talks’.”
