FRIENDS Star David Schwimmer Opens Up About Matthew Perry’s Death For The First Time In 11 Months; Claims Late Actor ‘Was Reserved With Me’

David Schwimmer, who is popularly known to play the role of Ross Geller in the iconic show Friends, spoke up about his late co-star and actor, Matthew Perry. The latter actor portrayed the role of Chandler Bing in the show and won multiple accolades for the same.

In conversation with Cush Jambo on the Origins with Cush Jumbo podcast, the actor recalled spending time with the late actor on the sets of the sitcom. The Tangled star shared that he spent time doing physical comedy with the Fools Rush In actor, who had a great sense of humor and sarcasm.

During the shoot of the podcast episode, Schwimmer revealed that apart from the Warner Bros. sitcom, the duo also worked together on The Good Fight. The podcast host asked Schwimmer, “I was saying, ‘Is David just someone who just does it? It just comes off of him?’” 

“He talked about how it’s not out of control at all, that you’re a linchpin person in a scene where mostly people were always looking to you to know physically what direction things should go in, that without you being the pin, the other things don’t work, which I thought was very, very complimentary and probably very true.”

The Madagascar actor reflected on his experience in theater, which he said helped him develop skills in physical comedy. Schwimmer explained that it was a huge compliment when Matthew praised his work, adding that he was surprised to hear it because Matthew had been reserved with him and hadn’t said it directly. Nonetheless, Schwimmer appreciated the compliment.

He went on to say that when working in film, especially on scenes involving stunts or physical comedy, everything needed to be carefully choreographed. He emphasized that he would repeatedly work on any physical comedy in a scene to make sure it was finely tuned.

Schwimmer also mentioned that his theater background helped him structure the format of the project. David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry appeared together on the iconic 1994 show Friends alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow. The show will be celebrating its 30th anniversary on September 22.

Meanwhile, Matthew Perry tragically passed away in October 2023 due to an overdose of ketamine. The remaining Friends cast paid tribute to the late actor by posting pictures on their social media accounts.

Priyanka Chopra’s Dil Dhadakne Do co-star Rahul Bose says film’s story would not be same if she ‘didn’t have to deal with divorce’

Rahul Bose has been part of several critically successful movies like Mr and Mrs Iyer, Bulbbul, Split Wide Open, 15th Park Avenue, and Poorna, but his major big-screen success came with Dil Dhadakne Do. In this Zoya Akhtar directorial Rahul played the character of Priyanka Chopra’s ex-husband and their equation became a key factor in the film’s narrative.

Bose believes the same and spoke about it to Indian Express. He said, “The story would not be the same if Priyanka (Chopra) didn’t have to deal with divorce.” Rahul admitted that the movie holds quite a special place in his filmography and he cherishes it a lot. The 57-year-old further spoke about how his biggest takeaway from the movie like everyone else has been lessons on family dynamics.

“There are ups, there are downs, there are twists and there are turns, but finally, everybody muddles together, gets along, and finds space for themselves. The only way you can navigate the impossible twists and turns of an Indian family is by staying true to your heart,” Rahul expressed.

Rahul Bose recalled telling Zoya Akhtar and Javed Akhtar about how the film would turn immortal for everyone to remember. Asked how he would react to his character of Manav in the film, Bose expressed, “In the same way Farhan’s and Ranveer’s characters did. I have worked on gender for the last 22 years. Whatever Farhan wrote for his character was absolutely spot on.”

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, Dil Dhadakne Do also starred Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, and Farhan Akhtar in key roles alongside Zarina Wahab, Vikrant Massey, Pawan Chopra, Parmeet Sethi, Dolly Mattdo and Manoj Pahwa in supporting cast.

Last seen in Zee 5’s Berlin, Rahul Bose said that he’s self-aware that he will never be offered a lead role in big-budget films “because I don’t justify that expense. I realized that I wanted to only play leads, so I would have to go for small-budget films. Those making big-budget films, would cast the stars, why would they cast me?”

Bose will be next seen in the Kannada movie Bhairathi Ranagal.
