Fans of the popular US sitcom Friends are mourning the sudden death of star Matthew Perry who played Chandler Bing and are wondering where to watch the Friends’ Reunion.
It’s the one where the all-star cast, featuring the return of our favourite characters Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross, played by Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt le Blanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer respectively, reunited after 20 years for a one-off show back in 2021, with James Corden interviewing the stars.
And following news that Matthew Perry died in an apparent drowning in his hot tub at his Los Angeles home on Saturday (28 October, 2023), fans are asking did Matthew Perry have siblings?
Tributes continue to pour in for the Friends actor. His fellow castmates issued a statement to People, that reads, “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.
“In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
Results of Perry’s initial post-mortem report are currently “inconclusive”.
For fans who are keen to watch old episodes of Friends and the Reunion special it will be a bittersweet moment to see the stars together, reminiscing about their sitcom heydays.
Its initial filming sparked reports of a Jennifer Aniston baby bombshell, that was later denied by her representatives. It left fans wondering off-screen are Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer dating?
