The Real Reason Lisa Kudrow Didn't Adopt Matthew Perry's Dog After His Death

Two days after the tragic death of Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the hit series "Friends," his co-stars released a statement to People. The statement from Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc read that they were "utterly devastated" by the loss of Perry, whom they considered family. It continued, "There is so much to say, but right now we're going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss. ... For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty's family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world." This statement brings tears to our eyes and proves that the "Friends" cast were really friends in real life

In a 2022 interview with Tom Power, Perry mentioned that he didn't want "Friends" to be the first thing he was remembered for after he died. He said: "If someone comes up to me and says, 'I can't stop drinking, can you help me?' I can say yes and follow up. That's the best thing. ... I want that to be the first thing [mentioned], and I'm going to live the rest of my life proving that." 

We will sorely miss Matthew Perry and his incredible zeal for helping others through addiction.
