Easy for you to say, you're not sporting a reject from the Mr. T collection!

RIP as well as being the best part of friends, I liked his performance (and the movie) in The Whole Nine Yards.

and of course the usual suspects on Twitter were bringing up him being vaccinated. Unreal.

And it could so obviously be like a car crash or something, and they still won't shut up. It just makes a sad situation even worse. Not good for someone who's usually hit hard by sadness or anxiety.

I don't know about the US numbers, but here in Canada something like 95% of the eligible population got at least 1 shot so pretty much any death could theoretically be traced to vaccination. Might as well be trying to tie a death to drinking a glass of water everyday, just dumb

Late to the party on this one.
While Friends wasn't my favorite show, hearing this on the news actually caused me to say, "No, this can't be real..."
My condolences go out to his family & friends.

I've always wanted a version of Fight Club with early seasons Chandler Bing as the narrator and have the dialogue and story change accordingly.
Anyway this type of death always has an extra layer of sadness, all the work to beat the demons but the damage is done. Rip.

The list of medical problems, particularly in the last five years, that have stemmed from his substance abuse are horrifying. From Wikipedia: Addiction absolutely ravaged the poor guy's body and, tragic as it is, an early death seemed inevitable.

This is just unfathomably tragic. People will be quoting Chandler for centuries.
What grinds my gears is seeing a "public figure" on social media saying "Well, I never watched a single episode of Friends, but Matthew Perry should've... yada yada yada."
The yada is pushing a message about religion and accepting a certain figure.

I think an underrated role of his was in the 2015 remake of The Odd Couple that lasted 3 seasons. He was a really good Oscar opposite Thomas Lennon's Felix. I think he was also showrunner on it.

Hey everyone, let's focus on Matthew Perry and not the audience in question.

The more I think of it, this is Sitcom TV's equivalent of Eddie Guerrero.
Well loved cast member battling his demons, finally overcomes it, releases a book, then passes away unexpectedly.

I also enjoyed him in his other TV works- "The Ron Clark Story," and he played Ted Kennedy excellently in "The Kennedy's: After Camelot"

There's a story going around that Lisa Kudrow adopted his dog. But this isn't true as Matthew Perry did not have a dog.

I liked Selma Hayak's tribute to him. I also love that he held 'Fools Rush In' as his favorite movie he did. (With good reason, I think it's underrated)

That rumour sounds like someone wants a sequel to the one where Phoebe thought her mother's spirit was in a cat

It's happened other times too. Chris Candido (though he had a freak accident to deal with too) is another wrestling example. Seems Marianne Faithfull is the one person I can think of who beat hardcore drug problems and lived on for decades after.
