Matthew Perry, who died on Saturday, October 28, has left behind a legacy as Chandler Bing from the popular show FRIENDS. He has died but the memories that he created on the show will always remain in the heart of his fans. His camaraderie on the show with co-star Matt LeBlac aka Joey was widely loved by the audience. Perry played the role of a sarcastic yet insecure and neurotic roommate of Joey and Ross (played by David Schwimmer) in the show. Now, his fans are busy remembering him via his popular and iconic scenes from the show.

We will take care of Joey: Fans remember Matthew Perry

Soon after the news broke, his heartbroken fans took to their social media handle to pay tribute to the actor by sharing some iconic scenes from FRIENDS. A fan shared a clip from the show in which Joey is looking at the empty chair beside him after moving to his new house. The caption read, "What Joey felt. Whole world is feeling now." Another wrote, "The One Where We All Lost A Friend”

Another clip is going viral in which Joey is bidding Chandler adieu as he moves to his new house, leaving Chandler all alone in the house. However, before leaving he hugs him behind, bringing a smile to Chandler's face. A caption read, "We will look after Joey". Another fan wrote, "A friend of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. You'll be missed."

Another fan shared a video collage of FRIENDS' moments and wrote, "Yes Matty, you will be missed. On days we open Netflix to watch “something else” and still end up watching friends. On days we have a bad day and need a friend. On days we just want to turn back the clock ‘cause we are feeling old. RIP #MatthewPerry.

Sharing the last scene of the final season, a user urged the fans to not think he died alone. Rather, remember his last line in the show and that he was happy. The caption read, "Instead of thinking about how Matthew Perry passed away alone, let’s think of it like this scene, with Chandler Bing’s iconic last line of Friends. He was happy & he’d had some time for coffee and a catch-up with his friends before he had to leave them."

A fan thanked the late actor for all the laughs and for all the ways he made the user's childhood brighter. "Sorry that while you were making us all smile, you weren’t doing so yourself. Wish you’d had a happier life & a long one too," the user continued.

A fan shared a photo of the FRIENDS' cast from their 2021 reunion and wrote, "Hearing the news about Matthew Perry passing away is tough and knowing that we will never see them together again is equally hard. Rest in Peace. #MatthewPerry."


Apart from Matthew Perry, Matt and David, FRIENDS also starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow in the lead roles.
