Jennifer Aniston recalls last conversation with Matthew Perry
For the first time since Matthew Perry's death in October, his close friend and co-star from F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Jennifer Aniston has opened up on his sudden demise. In an interview with Variety, she recalled her last conversation with Perry, which was from the day he passed away. Aniston described how Perry was in good health and good spirits when she last spoke to him.
Why does this story matter?
The F.R.I.E.N.D.S gang, after having worked together for so many years, became close friends. The late actor shared a special bond with the Murder Mystery 2 star; the two were considered to be very close. While the entire cast was devastated by Perry's death, issuing a joint statement, it was reportedly Aniston who took the longest to come to terms with his passing way.
'He was happy. He was healthy'
"He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy- that's all I know," the tearful 54-year-old actor told Variety in the recent interview. She went on to add: "I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn't struggling. He was happy."
