Matthew Perry's death leaves countless people heartbroken
The lights of Hollywood were momentarily dimmed as news of the sudden death of beloved actor, Matthew Perry (54), sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. Known for his iconic role as "Chandler Bing" in the hit sitcom 'Friends', Perry's unexpected death has left fans and fellow celebrities heartbroken.
"Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend," his devastated family shared in a statement. The actor was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home, with the cause of death currently "deferred" according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
Perry's Early Days
Born to John Bennett Perry and Suzanne Morrison, Matthew grew up in a big, loving family. His parents divorced when he was less than a year old, and both remarried, expanding the Perry family significantly. His mother married 'Dateline' host Keith Morrison, and together they had four children. Matthew's father also welcomed a daughter with his second wife, Debbie Boyle.
Despite his family's complex dynamics, Perry openly idolized his father, also an actor. "That was mostly the way that I saw my father when I was young — on TV shows," Matthew recalled in a 2004 interview. Perry's struggles with addiction and health issues were well-known, with his 'Friends' co-stars showing unwavering support throughout the years of his addiction.
Matthew's Legacy
Matthew Perry's legacy extends beyond his role as "Chandler Bing". His memoir, 'Friends, Lovers & The Big Terrible Thing', offers a candid look at his life, struggles and relationships. His family, including his half-siblings Caitlin, Emily, Mia, Will, and Madeline, all live on and are left to mourn him. The actor's life was filled with laughter, love and a fair share of struggles, but his impact on Hollywood and his fans remains undeniable.
