I don't think it's a good thing for anyone in their 50s to go on a sudden health trip, too much exercise at that age not good, considering all the health and addiction issues he'd had.

RIP.

Gutted, I was just watching the Friends reunion the other day and it was sad how terrified he said he always felt that people wouldn't laugh at his jokes and how much he needed that validation, especially knowing all the struggles he was going through during filming. It's amazing how he was still able to perform that role so perfectly. I watched him quite closely during the Reunion because of that and you could see the effects of those problems he'd had but it was also really touching how happy he was to see Matt Le Blanc again and how he talked about his relationship with the others

Even now Friends is such a comforting TV show for me and something I could still watch and laugh at any time. I'm glad he started to appreciate how massive his legacy was and how much that show meant to people

Agree with all this.

There's also so many times that my friends and I have recited friends scenes when we've been in certain situations.

His father. You are not supposed to bury your children

Dreading the statement from the friend's cast.

For those of a certain age you will know just how huge friends was back in the day. Real appointment tv that everyone talked about at work the next day

So sad.
Poor Matthew has really struggled with life by the sound of it.

Me too. They were all close,even though they didn't spend a lot of time together.

We will no doubt see the one Friends reunion that no-one ever wanted at his funeral

I genuinely feel like I've lost someone I grew up with, this is one of the most shocking celeb deaths for me.

Hate American Sitcoms but Friends was iconic and I could watch them over and over again....
He never looked well...his weight gain and he looked haggered and we all know why, because of his battle with drink and drugs that finally took its toll...
I never thought it was going to be a happy ending for him...even in the reunion last year he was quiet and withdrawn.

So so sad...I seriously have a tear in my eye.

Really sad.

Really good character and one of the best in 'Friends'.

During her show in Las Vegas, Adele shared a tribute to Perry on stage, saying: “He was so open with his struggles with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave. I just wanna say how much I love what he did for all of us.”

Never ever watched Friends,but I do know who he is ,very sad,didn't he have a cancer scare at one point ?

[LeatherTrumpet]

Remember every season he was the one who always looked totally different from the previous, either too thin or all bloated up

I agree it feels like I lost someone. Don't think I've cried like I did this morning since Robin Williams. It will be so hard. I just saw the clip at the reunion where Matthew says that whenever they see eachother at events they all immediately apologised to the other person because they just knew they would spend the rest of the evening with eachother only! The rest of the cast agreed and the girls got emotional.


I'm watching friends on channel 5 right now and it's painful. I felt a ping in my heart when he came on screen even though I was reciting the line

[bitontheslide]

Some of his interactions with Janice were priceless too

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

I thought this was beautiful
