Matthew Perry, one of the six ensemble cast of “Friends,” passed away on October 28. His “Friends” castmates released a statement but remained otherwise private. However, one has now been sighted in public.
Courtney Cox is the first of Perry’s “Friends” costars to step out in public after the news of his death broke. Cox played Perry’s on-screen wife, and the pair, like the other cast members, built a lasting friendship.
How Did Courtney Cox Look?
Cox, whom a source said Perry had always been in love with, was recently spotted leaving dinner with her boyfriend and some friends. She appeared upset as she exited the restaurant and climbed into the car. Although the “Friends” cast released a joint statement after Perry’s passing, they have said nothing individually.
However, this is not what fans focused on when they saw the photos of Cox after her dear friend’s death. Instead, fans noted Cox’s upset and wanted to reach out to her.
One fan said paparazzi should not take photos of Perry’s castmates during this challenging time as they are “devastated,” with someone else saying they hoped the press wouldn’t “hound” Perry’s friends. Another said:
“It looks like she’s been crying soo bad, and I just want to give big hug too.”
What Did Perry’s “Friends” Castmates Say?
After Perry’s death, when the tributes from actors he had worked with throughout the years began pouring in, his “Friends” castmates released a joint statement about the loss of their friend.
In the statement, the cast said they were “devastated” by the loss of one of their own. They felt they were more than castmates; they were family. They noted that they had a lot to say about Perry’s death but said they were going to take some time to process the loss.
