Friends’ Instagram Marks Late Matthew Perry’s 55th Birth Anniversary With Tribute Post

As a devoted fan who grew up with Chandler Bing as a beloved character and friend, I cannot help but feel a profound sense of loss when remembering Matthew Perry. The picture shared by the Friends Instagram account serves as a poignant reminder of the talent and light that was taken from us too soon.


As a devoted friend (pun intended), I can’t help but feel that Matt Perry’s absence is merely a temporary setback. His vibrant energy and unforgettable charm continue to echo in our hearts, as evident by the heartfelt tribute shared on the Friends Instagram account this past Monday, August 19th.

The homage featured a photo of Perry, famously known for playing Chandler Bing in the popular NBC sitcom Friends alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer. Tragically, he passed away on October 28, 2023, due to a drug overdose and subsequent drowning at his home in the Pacific Palisades area.

The post read, “On this day, we remember the light that was Matthew Perry.”

Following his passing, the cast members of Friends collectively conveyed their deep sorrow. They explained that they had suffered a loss far greater than simply a coworker, as they considered each other like kin. According to reports, they stated, “We will pause for a moment to mourn and come to terms with this inconceivable loss. In due course, we shall speak more when we are prepared.”

In the face of such unbearable sorrow, I found solace in expressing my own pain and offering comfort to those who cherished Perry. We shared our tears and sympathies, united in our profound loss.

At present, our sympathies and affection extend towards Matty’s family, his friends, and all those who cherished him globally.

Marta Kauffman and David Crane, the creators of the sitcom, expressed their sadness over Perry’s passing, while Kevin Bright stated his disbelief that after collaborating with someone as talented as Perry, he was now unable to do so. They felt that from the very beginning, it was clear that no other actor could embody Chandler Bing as perfectly as Matthew did by showcasing what he excelled at early on.

After Perry’s unexpected passing, five individuals – Jasveen Sangha (also known as “Ketamine Queen”), Kenneth Iwamasa (his assistant), Erik Fleming (the producer), and doctors Salvador Plascencia and Mark Chavez – were apprehended for providing him with ketamine, which ultimately led to his death. According to officials, these individuals exploited Perry’s addiction struggles in an attempt to make profit.
