Friends star Matthew Perry’s sudden death shook the world, leaving fans devastated. However, his co-star and close friend, Jennifer Aniston, has recently spoken up about the day Perry passed away, shedding light on the actor’s state before his tragic demise.

Contrary to speculations and rumors, Aniston assures us that Perry “wasn’t struggling” when they last texted only hours before his death. The 54-year-old actor, famous for playing the beloved character Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends, battled with alcohol and substance abuse for many years.

On that fateful day in late October, Perry was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his LA home. Despite the efforts of first responders, he was tragically pronounced dead at the scene due to apparent drowning. The initial toxicology report showed no traces of meth or fentanyl in his system, dispelling certain assumptions.

Perry’s funeral took place in early November, with his loved ones, close friends, and former Friends cast mates paying their respects. Amidst the grief, Aniston wants everyone to understand that Perry had been working hard to turn his life around and had not relapsed.

During an interview with Reese Witherspoon for Variety, Aniston revealed that Perry was happy and healthy, having quit smoking and focusing on his well-being. She even mentioned that they were texting each other on the day he died, emphasizing that he was not in pain or struggling.

Aniston wants people to remember Perry as a person who was genuinely on a pursuit to better himself, despite the challenges he faced. She appreciates the time they shared together both on and off the screen and wants to preserve his memory.

Rest in peace, Matthew Perry. Your legacy lives on, and you will be missed.
