Matthew Perry
The Emmy winner admitted that parts of the cast's friendships "took some work".
“There was an inevitability to what was going to happen," his mother said while reflecting on the late actor's final days and legacy.
Courteney Cox also shared an emotional tribute to her late friend and colleague.
"Matthew was reserved with me. He would not say that to me," the Friends actor said of his late co-star.
"I was like, ‘No way. I’m not doing that show’. And my agent was like, ‘Yes, you are’.”
The Friends star died as the result of a ketamine overdose in October 2023.
An investigation into how the Friends star was supplied with a fatal dose of ketamine was opened earlier this year.
The show's iconic opening credits would have been very different without Matthew Perry.
"I never even in a million years could have envisioned anyone playing the character like that..."
"I was like, 'All right, well, take it easy'."
