Lisa Kudrow, renowned for her role as Phoebe Buffay in the iconic sitcom "Friends," has found a unique way to celebrate the life and comedic genius of her late co-star, Matthew Perry. She's revisiting the show, finding solace and laughter in his unforgettable portrayal of Chandler Bing.
Kudrow admits that she previously avoided watching "Friends" due to the "embarrassment" of seeing herself on screen. However, after Perry's passing last October, she shifted her perspective, choosing to focus on his comedic brilliance. "If I make it about Matthew, then that's okay," she explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
Now, she finds herself laughing out loud at the cast's humor, praising each member's unique talents, especially Perry's unparalleled comedic timing. She recalls the constant laughter on set, fueled by Perry's relentless pursuit of humor. "His goal was: How many laughs can I get in real life every day?" Kudrow reminisced.
This newfound appreciation for "Friends" serves as Kudrow's personal tribute to Perry, especially as the 20th anniversary of the series finale recently passed. While she previously found it embarrassing to be caught watching the show, she now sees it as a way to celebrate his memory.
Perry's legacy lives on through his friends and co-stars. Courteney Cox shared how she feels his presence and often talks to him. Jennifer Aniston remembers Perry as a happy and healthy person who was working hard on his recovery.
