One Year Later: Jennifer Aniston Remembers Matthew Perry

Jennifer Aniston took to Instagram to honor her late “Friends” co-star, Matthew Perry, exactly one year after his death. She shared a series of photos, including a funny black-and-white image of the two and a sweet moment from the show where Perry’s character, Chandler Bing, kisses Aniston’s character, Rachel Green. The post also included a group picture with the rest of the cast and a smiley solo shot of Perry. The official “Friends” Instagram account also paid tribute to Perry, encouraging fans to share their favorite moments and stream the show on Max. Perry died in October 2023 at the age of 54, leaving his castmates and fans heartbroken. His fellow cast members had previously released a joint statement expressing their deep loss and the fact that they were more than just colleagues—they were family.

Aniston had shared her own emotional tribute in November 2023, calling Perry her “brother” and emphasizing the profound relationship they shared. She mentioned feeling a mix of grief and joy, knowing that Perry was finally at peace. The actress’s latest post is the first public acknowledgment of the anniversary by any of the “Friends” cast members. Perry’s mother, Suzanne Morrison, appeared on the “Today” show to discuss her son’s struggles with addiction and the guilt she feels for not being able to help him more. Perry’s autopsy revealed that he died from the effects of ketamine, and several people have been charged in connection with his death.
