Jennifer Aniston was seen in tears as she reminisced about her late Friends co-star, Matthew Perry.
Matthew, the 54-year-old actor who famously played Chandler Bing on Friends, tragically passed away on October 28 last year. His unexpected death left his co-stars and fans worldwide in shock.

Perry was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home’s pool and was declared dead by emergency services.
The cause of death was later determined to be an accidental overdose from ketamine.
However, the Los Angeles Police Department has recently confirmed that they are conducting an “open investigation” into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Jennifer has now appeared in a new interview to discuss the tremendous loss.
During her appearance on Variety’s Actors On Actors series with Quinta Brunson, Jennifer couldn’t hold back tears when the topic of Friends’ legacy came up.
“Oh, god, don’t make me cry,” she uttered, as an off-camera prompt directed Quinta to broach the subject.
The 34-year-old Abbott Elementary star quickly reassured Jennifer that they could skip the topic, while Aniston dabbed at her eyes.”Sorry, I just started thinking about … I’m okay, it’s happy tears,” Jennifer explained, trying to compose herself as they discussed the show’s approaching 30th anniversary. “It’s so strange to even think that it’s 30-years-old.”
She then recounted a heartwarming anecdote from the day Friends first aired, involving a playful moment with co-stars Matthew and Lisa.
Jennifer reminisced about the premiere day, sharing: “I remember the day that it was going to premiere on television, on NBC. Me and Matthew Perry were having lunch somewhere, and we knew Lisa was getting her hair colored.
“So we ran into the hair salon, and I snuck up – she was in the sink hair bowl – and I took the nozzle from the guy that was supposed to be doing it and just started washing her hair.”
Jennifer chuckled as she reminisced: “It definitely flew out of control, and that was unfortunate. But the excitement we had, and it feels like yesterday.
“The fact that it’s had this long, wonderful life and it still means a lot to people is one of the greatest gifts I think all five of us – all six of us – we never could imagine… It’s a family forever.”
