Lisa Kudrow pens emotional note for ‘Friends’ co-star Matthew Perry: ‘Thank you for showing up…’

Actor Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe in the popular TV show ‘Friends’, remembered her late co-star Matthew Perry.

Taking to Instagram, Lisa shared an old photograph with Perry and penned a long note.

Lisa wrote, ‘Shot the pilot, Friends Like Us, got picked up then immediately, we were at the NBC Upfronts. Then…You suggested we play poker and made it so much fun while we initially bonded. Thank you for that. Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face every day. Thank you for your open heart in a six-way relationship that required compromise. And a lot of 'talking'.’

She also added, ‘Thank you for showing up at work when you weren’t well and then, being completely brilliant. Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about grace and love through knowing you. Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew’.

Matthew was seen as Chandler Bing on ‘Friends’ for 10 years. He delivered a pitch-perfect comedic performance that garnered him an Emmy nomination in 2002.

In the photo, a young Lisa and Matthew smiled and posed for the camera.

Lisa was seen in a black dress holding a coat, while Matthew wore a blue T-shirt, a beige blazer and denims.

Earlier, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer posted heartfelt notes on Instagram about Matthew.

Earlier, the actors issued a joint statement, saying they were ‘all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family.’
