Jennifer Aniston — part of her, at least — has a surprising thought about Matthew Perry's death
Jennifer Aniston just came out with an unexpected, wistful comment about her 'Friends' co-star Matthew Perry's death: Part of her, she said, thinks it might be 'better' for him that he died. 'We did everything we could when we could,' the 'Morning Show' star said in an interview published Monday by Vanity Fair, talking about Perry's friends' attempts to help him when he was struggling with addiction. 'But it almost felt like we'd been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle with that disease was a really hard one for him to fight.' Indeed, Perry discussed his friends' efforts to help him in his 2022 memoir, 'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,' which recounted his decades-long struggles with substance abuse as well as his numerous recovery efforts. 'Although he asserts he was never high while filming 'Friends,' he'd often be sick or hungover,' former staff writer Christina Veta wrote in The Times' review of the memoir. 'Once, Perry passed out on the Central Perk couch and [co-star Matt] LeBlanc had to nudge him awake to say his line. Later, Aniston called him out for drinking again, telling him, 'We can smell it.'' Perry told Aniston, 'I know I'm drinking too much, but I don't exactly know what to do about it.' 'In nature, when a penguin is injured, the other penguins group around it and prop it up until it's better,' he wrote in his memoir. 'This is what my costars on Friends did for me. There were times on set when I was extremely hungover, and Jen and Courteney [Cox], being devoted to cardio as a cure-all, had a Lifecycle exercise bike installed backstage. In between rehearsals and takes, I'd head back there and ride that thing like the fires of hell were chasing me — anything to get my brain power back to normal. I was the injured penguin, but I was determined to not let these wonderful people, and this show, down.' Aniston told Vanity Fair in the new interview, 'looking solemn and out toward the ocean' as she spoke about Perry's death, 'As hard as it was for all of us and for the fans, there's a part of me that thinks this is better. I'm glad he's out of that pain.' Perry said in his memoir that amid all his drinking and drug use, he was never suicidal. 'In the back of my mind I always had some semblance of hope. But, if dying was a consequence of getting to take the quantity of drugs I needed, then death was something I was going to have to accept,' he wrote about the period after 'Friends' ended. 'That's how skewed my thinking had become — I was able to hold those two things in my mind at the same time: I don't want to die, but if I have to in order to get sufficient drugs on board, then amen to oblivion.' Almost exactly a year after the memoir came out, on Oct. 28, 2024, at 4 in the afternoon, Perry was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. The drug ketamine would later emerge as his official cause of death, with drowning a contributing factor.

Jennifer Aniston says 'Friends' cast had 'been mourning' Matthew Perry before his death
Matthew Perry died in 2023 at age 54. 1:41 Jennifer Aniston is opening about her friendship with her late "Friends" co-star, Matthew Perry. The actress said in a recent Vanity Fair cover interview that she and the "Friends" cast had been mourning Perry long before he died from the acute effects of ketamine at age 54 in October 2023. "We did everything we could when we could," Aniston said, referring to Perry's long struggle with addiction. "But it almost felt like we'd been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle with that disease was a really hard one for him to fight. As hard as it was for all of us and for the fans, there's a part of me that thinks this is better." She added, "I'm glad he's out of that pain." Perry played Chandler Bing on "Friends," starring alongside Aniston, who played Rachel Green. After the NBC sitcom's finale in May 2004, the cast, which also included Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc, remained close. Prior to his death, Perry had been open about his battle with addiction in his memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing." In an interview with Diane Sawyer in 2020, Perry talked about how the cast had stood by him during those difficult moments. He wrote in his memoir, "In nature, when a penguin is injured, the other penguins group around it and prop it up until it's better. This is what my co-stars on 'Friends' did for me." After Perry's death, Aniston shared a moving tribute to the star on Instagram. It included a photo of the pair laughing on the "Friends" set and a screenshot of a text message Perry had sent her of the same photo. "Making you laugh just made my day. It made my day," Perry's text to Aniston read. In the caption of her Instagram post, Aniston wrote that she loved Perry and still spoke to him every day. Sponsored Content by Taboola
