Speaking alongside Reese Witherspoon, her costar on The Morning Show and her on-camera sister on the classic sitcom, for Variety, Aniston was asked how she hoped he would be remembered.

“As he said he’d love to be remembered. He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that’s all I know,” she shared. “I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy.”

“I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy. He was on a pursuit,” she continued. “He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard.”

The story continued, “She went on to say the many tributes from friends, fans, reporters and fellow celebrities was ‘so beautiful’ to see, telling the outlet she hopes he ‘can know that he was loved in a way he never thought he was.”

“Aniston also praised Perry’s work on Friends, saying his way of speaking as Chandler Bing ‘created a whole different world’ — and adding, ‘We went with his lead, in a way. It just added something to our joy.”

A very nice remembrance of Matthew Perry from his friend of many years.
