In a recent interview, Jennifer Aniston fell to tears when asked about Matthew Perry, who she used to work with on Friends.
Variety’s Actors on Actors, a show where stars talk about their past, present, and future projects, released its lineup this week.
Jen, 55, was paired up with 34-year-old QB Quinta Brunson on Thursday.
In a video clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), someone asked the TV star to ask Jen what it’s like to watch Friends now that Matthew Perry has died.
He was found dead in a jacuzzi in October 2023.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that is used to treat depression. In December 2023, it was decided that the acute effects of the drug killed him.
Friends was a popular sitcom that ran for 10 seasons in the 1990s and early 2000s. Jen, Matthew, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow were among the stars.
The show followed a group of New York City friends as they went about their daily lives.
THE ONE WHERE 30 YEARS OF FRIENDS
Jen began to cry when she heard the question.
“Oh God, Don’t make me cry!” She spoke in a shaky voice.
Quinta told her, “You’re already crying.”
“Do you have a minute?” There’s no need to talk about it.
Jen put her head back to keep her makeup from running.
Jen was quickly given a tissue by a producer who then turned to look at the Golden Globe winner.
Jen insisted she was ready to talk about it, she just needed a moment to gather her feelings and thoughts.
“These are happy tears,” the actress said.
When Jen was ready, Quinta told her that the popular comedy show would be 30 years old in 2024 and how important it was.
In fact, she thought it was “one of the best shows on TV.”
Jen said, “It’s crazy to think that it’s only 30 years old!”
“The thrill we felt”
She then talked about how she and Matthew had lunch together on the day of the premiere and decided to play a joke on Lisa.
Jen said that she was getting her hair colored that day, so the Just Go With It actress took Lisa’s hairdresser’s nozzle and started washing Lisa’s hair.
“It definitely got out of hand,” she joked.
“It was a shame, but the fun we had makes it seem like yesterday.”
“The fact that it’s had this long and wonderful life and it still means a lot to people is one of the greatest gifts I think all six of us could ever imagine.”
The host of The Morning Show said that they still talk to each other.
“It’s a family forever.”
