Heartwarming Surprise: Lisa Kudrow Discovers a Touching Note from Matthew Perry
In a poignant moment for fans and friends alike, Lisa Kudrow recently shared a touching story about a note left for her by the late Matthew Perry. During her appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Kudrow recounted the discovery of the heartfelt message, which Perry had placed inside a beloved prop from their iconic television series "Friends."
This prop, a cookie jar, was gifted to Kudrow by Perry at the conclusion of their final episode, which aired back in 2004. "I had recently found the note that he had in it for me," Kudrow revealed, reflecting on the sentimental value of the keepsake. "I hadn’t opened it up or looked inside of it. But yeah, he did. He had a note in there and I forgot about it."
Despite her excitement, Kudrow chose to keep the contents of the note private, merely affirming the emotional weight attached to such reminders of their time together. When Barrymore expressed a heartfelt response, Kudrow nodded in agreement, stating, "Timing is everything."
The discussion unfolded after Barrymore asked if Kudrow had ever taken anything from the "Friends" set. Kudrow hesitated, playfully stating, "I’m too afraid to tell you what," hinting at a secret keepsake that holds personal significance. "I can’t say… I’m afraid… someone will come get it," she joked, creating a sense of mystery around the cherished item.
Tragically, Matthew Perry passed away at the age of 54 in October 2023, with an autopsy revealing he had succumbed to "acute effects of ketamine" and drowned. His legacy, particularly as the beloved character Chandler Bing, continues to resonate with fans around the world. Alongside Kudrow, Perry starred with an ensemble cast featuring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc, who collectively defined a generation of sitcom television.
In the wake of his passing, Kudrow paid tribute to Perry, recalling the joy he brought to her life and the laughter that echoed through their time filming together. "Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY," she reflected, capturing the deep bond they shared both on and off screen.
As fans continue to celebrate Perry's impactful career, Kudrow's discovery serves as a beautiful reminder of their time together and the friendships forged in Hollywood’s spotlight.
