this one's for you, Matthew Perry.

this is the absolute hardest I have ever cried for a celebrity and I still can't believe he is gone. I haven't really cared all that much for FRIENDS the last few years but when I was a child, it was my #1 favorite tv show and Chandler was the love of my very young life. From his funny jokes and hilarious mannerisms, all the way to the way he was with Monica.. I. loved. him. On top of all that, he was soooooo handsome, too!! He was baby-michelle's comfort character. And Matthew? Instant celebrity crush. I looked for all the interviews available at the time, watched Fools Rush In on repeat, waited for friends re-runs on TV, had him as my background everywhere and just simply loved him as hard as my heart was able to back then.
So, when I woke up to the news on october 29th.. I felt my heart breaking. I felt it break for 10 year-old-me sitting in front of her tv, staying up past her bedtime to catch a friends episode. But I also felt it break for 23-year-old-me because the piece of me that loved him with all my heart, is still there.
Rest easy, Matty. You deserve nothing less.

Rest in peace, Matthew Perry. Thank you for all the laughs and facing your struggles with humility and honesty. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you so much for one of my most favorite television characters of all time, Chandler Bing. I hope you know the immense impact you have had on millions of people worldwide. I love you and God bless you my dear Friend.

What an amazing soul we were graced with for a short time. It will live always with us. Thanks for doing this. I needed a cry.

I didn't watch Friends but I remember Matthew from movies Serving Sara and 17 Again. He died so young! It reminds me Luke Perry who died 4 years ago at age 53 🙁

1:36 to 1:41 ish is what pushed me over the edge to tears. What a brilliant tribute! This was SO powerful, I love how comprehensively and thoroughly you were able to pay tribute to his ENTIRE career and very much not just to Chandler but mostly to HIM as a person, as an actor, etc. Could you explain the "Spume" joke near the very end? This was amazing. I will probably show this one to a few other people who also deserve to see it. Thank you so much for editing this. Poor Matthew, working on creating a foundation for people and not able to finish it when he died. Oh and the SONG CHOICE!! I've always had such a soft spot for this song and did start my own fanvideo to it a while ago. I love how well it works for his life and death, how it's a song about something that's over and about the happy moments shared and focusing on the "holy ground" of it all, how SPECIAL it was, but ultimately with a tinge of still sadness in the song too, it ending with "but I don't want to dance, if I'm not dancing with you" sums up everyone's feelings after any kind of loss like this where you can celebrate and be grateful for the positives of what was, for the joy he brought to people, etc, BUT... you don't want the world to be going on without him. I mean. What a great creative choice there too.

❤ thank you so much!! I wish I could explain the "spume" joke but I have no idea what he meant by that - I only put it in cause the whole interaction + his smile afterwards was, as Chandler would say, perfection :') In the comments of the original Interview, people have explained though that it's apparently a reference to his book! (which I am still reading) yessss

[@VioletEmerald]

​@justcallmemichelle Thanks for attempting to explain the joke too! :) I too haven't read his book yet. Hope you get a lot out of it.

[@trustnoone5821]

I love you so much for posting this and showing people just how kind and sweet he really was and how many people he helped and brought joy to ...he was truly loved by many and he will always stay in our hearts
