Friends actress says deceased co-star visits her ‘a lot’

Actress Courteney Cox said she believes she still has a strong bond with her former co-star Matthew Perry.

During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Cox, 59, mentioned that her former on-screen husband visits her “a lot” despite passing away in October 2023.

Cox and Perry portrayed Monica Geller and Chandler Bing for 10 seasons on the hit sitcom Friends. The two characters became romantically involved and eventually married as part of the show’s plot. While discussing her long acting career during the interview, Cox reminisced about her time on the hit show that made her famous. She discussed her closeness with her co-stars and spoke fondly of Perry. Cox said she still feels Perry’s presence and spirit.

“He visits me a lot, if we believe in that,” Cox said. “I talk to my mom, my dad, Matthew. I feel like there are a lot of people that are … I think they guide us.” 

“I sense Matthew around for sure,” she said.

While discussing her bond with Perry, she emphasized his genuine kindness and good heart. Cox also raved about his sense of humor.

“I think he’s one of the funniest human beings in the world,” Cox said. “He’s just so funny. He is genuinely a huge heart, obviously struggled. I’m so thankful I got to work so closely with him for so many years.”    

Perry died unexpectedly in October 2023 after being found face-down and unresponsive in a pool at his house. An autopsy later showed that Perry died due to the “acute effects of ketamine.” He was 54 years old.
