Just days after Matthew Perry’s death, “Friends” creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane opened up exclusively to TODAY about the last time they spoke with the actor.
Perry died at age 54 Saturday, Oct. 28, after an apparent drowning at his California home, according to police. His official cause of death is pending the coroner’s investigation. The actor was well known for his role as Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom “Friends,” which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. Kauffman tells Hoda Kotb in an interview that will air in full Wednesday, Nov. 1, that she spoke to Perry just two weeks before his death, and that it was an upbeat conversation.
” “We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” the statement reads. “There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.” “In time we will say more, as and when we are able,” the statement continues. “For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.” Perry was outspoken about his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction.
