“Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman is sharing what she thinks are the best ways to honor late actor Matthew Perry. Kauffman said two ways “come to mind” about how to celebrate Perry, who detailed his decades-long struggles with drug addiction in his 2022 memoir and died last year due to a Ketamine overdose. One is to donate to drug and treatment centers. “Let’s fight this disease,” Kauffman said in an interview with The Times of London published on Friday. The second way, Kauffman added, “is to watch ‘Friends’ and remember him not as a man who died like that but as a man who was hilariously funny and brought joy to everybody.” Perry played the quick-witted, beloved Chandler Bing on the NBC sitcom, which also starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc from 1994 to 2004. Perry died in October 2023 at 54.
