The acting world is mourning the sudden death of “Friends” star Matthew Perry (1969-2023). Now actor John Stamos (60) has dedicated moving words to his friend and colleague and shared an anecdote from the “Friends” set.

One experience with Perry in particular seems to have stuck in his mind: “As I stood backstage preparing to perform, Matt whispered, ‘The audience is going to go crazy when they see you! Get ready for a lot of screaming.’ “
When he came through the door, however, it was quiet, Stamos remembers. After the scene he was embarrassed and wanted to withdraw. But then Matthew Perry stood in front of the audience and said: “Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for John Stamos! You probably didn’t recognize him at first because he looks so much better in real life!” A special moment for Stamos: “I have never forgotten this and the world will never forget you,” writes the actor and concludes his statement with the hashtag #ripmatthewperry.
Matthew Perry, who starred in all ten seasons of the NBC sitcom “Friends” in the role of Chandler Bing from 1994 to 2004, was found lifeless in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 28, according to US media reports. The exact cause of death has not yet been clarified. The “Friends” star was 54 years old.
