Matthew Perry does Friends trivia - The Graham Norton Show: Series 18 Episode 14 Preview - BBC One

[@LifeofMarie267]

I could not imagine anyone else as Chandler.

[@catrg5075]

ikr! that's true for every character tho

[@haughtdonut8702]

The writters actually said that he was the only one who could do it. they almost eliminated chandler because they didn't find anyone right for the part.

[@TheCortexReaver]

Maybe only Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@anthonypaule638]

TheCortexReaver i agree. arnold cant play joey he is too stupid.

[@LifeofMarie267]

Laura Ramirez The big issue they had was not only that but when Matthew Perry auditioned for the role, he was tied to another pilot and when that one wasn't picked up by Fox, he was free to play Chandler. Also, intresting factoid: Chandler & Phoebe were supposed to be minor roles but thankfully for us they weren't because let's admit it, Matthew Perry & Lisa Kudrow are legend...wait for it...dary.

I thought it was Joey who called Chandler a Transponster, same as he called Ross a Polontologist.

It was Rachel.

[@TerryTanktop]

Matthew seems such a funny nice guy.

[@kathybramley5609]

Yeah. But there's almost so much pressure to that kind of thing. And it's not entirely real... He's vocally talented in terms of sweet manly sarcasm. And warmth. That doesn't mean he always feels like being that or that it takes the form of being a nice guy. So far, so human. Delectably so. That's why people connected with the show, they made it feel real. And just the right amount, in the context of the show, not. He hasn't personally I guess always had that safety of the formal frame of sit com taking the edge off toasty voiced niceness and its conflicts. ... hmm. Bit much of me, sorry. But yeah, just stop it with all the deeply personally intense comments alright!!? ;-) That is to say, he always does come across as a nice guy, but you hear things and know anyway that it's not going to be always as easy as it looks.

[@tezzzzzzzz]

Anyone who knows Matthew Perry or has seen his previous interviews, he loves Friends and the cast. Stop making things negative. Friends was the biggest thing in his career, he knows the way it goes now.

[@AVirtualTourist]

And if anyone is wondering about him not making the "reunion" I think he may have a noncompete clause in his contract with CBS that precludes his physical presence on a rival network's presentation without permission. I don't think he'd be allowed to reveal that fact either.

[@tezzzzzzzz]

+GregMHouse Very true, a lot of networks do it so it's not hard to believe!

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

+GregMHouse He was in London for rehearsals, so it was pretty impossible for him to be there ;)

Well he did a fuck ton of drugs and was an alcoholic for a long time.

[@taurean420]

***** awww!

[@anicalily]

Sounds like hes a little drunk..

[@Stangil1]

I was afraid he had a stroke.

[@Chloeluvsmusic1]

hikelfin not true, he was like this in all of his interviews in 2016. He started drinking again. However, he has been clean again since 2016.

[@MarekPolakowski]

Could he be any more okay?

[@Raii4eva]

For people talking about Matthew's slurred speech - he did a lot of drug and alcohol during the period they were recording Friends but he's been sober for a good while now. He's probably lisping/slurring because in 2015 he got a lot of emergency dental work done, which obviously effects the way you speak a lot, as well as the long-term effects of substance abuse.

[@chandlerbing8696]

So that means he's okay now? I hope so...

[@saras9919]

No go back and watch friends again he has always been talking like that, something about his tongue he just got older and it gets worse

[@kbsydney]

I was wondering what had happened - I assumed he wasn't high because he could recall the trivia, but I wondered if he had had a stroke or something to impact his speech. It's a pity because a lot of people hear the speech is slurred and assume drugs/alcohol are involved

[@ellie135]

He has forgotten filming 3 whole series cos of his addiction 😔

[@Jazz46203]

With all his money at his disposal, I don’t understand how his demons (drugs etc.) were not prevented or at least given a cure. There are psychologists, facilities, recovery programs etc. that deal with these. Of course, the heart suffers, it’s just a matter of time before a heart attack or a cardiac arrest would come. Maybe God willed that his existence on earth will end at 54. Rest in peace, Matthew Perry 😢😢😢

The girl who answered the question in the end is really cute :)

[@DaggerZ555]

I don't know why the whole cast whenever they appear in an interview and get asked Friends-related questions they seem to be acting bored or uninterested in talking about it , like if they had agreed not to talk about it publicly so often to help grow their careers individually and separate themselves from their 'Friends characters'..

[@h0lly_blue]

Matt LeBlanc's been on the show a few times and he seems perfectly fine with talking about it. Jennifer Aniston's appeared as well, and she reacted with astonished heartwarming glee at the audience clapping in unison when Graham said "No one told you life was gonna be this way" - which they were rehearsing beforehand.

[@DaggerZ555]

CaptainGrumpy I saw him and he kind of seemed grumpy like your nickname :)

[@h0lly_blue]

123misou If you're talking about LeBlanc I think he's just a chill guy with a chill attitude and a chill voice I mean, I don't know if he came across as grumpy to you, but he seemed fine with chatting about it during his appearances Also I'm not all that grumpy -most of the time- I'm just stuck in a perpetual state of disappointment

[@DaggerZ555]

CaptainGrumpy I'm a quiet guy , he seems to be doing it on purpose while casually throwing in sentences like "I don't fucking care about the friends cast's opinion of my Friends spin-off".. Doesn't give me good vibes at all !

[@Denis-89]

+123misou I think in a way friends was both a blessing and a curse for them. They became the characters and everyone saw them as that. And they feel frustrated probably since there is more to them than just the show They wanted to move on, yet people still remind them of it. It's allowed to feel a little distant from it, just ask Schwimmer.

[@connieoshea]

Speaking allegedly of course, coz I don’t want a cascade of sewage put upon me litigiously, but is Mr Perry’s speech somewhat slurry and garbled in a way that’s similar to when he was a bit “off” during Series 7 of Friends?

[@CommandaInChief]
