‘Friends’ cocreators Marta Kauffman and David Crane opened up about their last conversations with Matthew Perry before his death
“I was just in utter shock. My first impulse was to text him, honestly. And then deep sadness,' Kauffman, 67, told Today on Wednesday, November 1, about her reaction to Perry's death. 'It’s hard to grasp. You know, one minute he’s here and happy, and then poof. And doing good in the world. Really doing good in the world.”
Perry was previously candid about his battle with addiction through the years, confessing in 2022 that he expected people to be shocked by his death but not necessarily surprised. Crane, 66, agreed with the comment, adding on Wednesday, “I would say that’s probably true. Given the journey he’d been on, and we were all aware of it, there was always a part that was kind of bracing for something like this.
“Yes, I was concerned about him. Knowing that he’d been through everything he’d been through, and every time he had surgery they’re giving him opioids for pain, and the cycle starts over again,” she said on Today. “So, yes, I was concerned about what point in the cycle he was in that moment.”“He learned things throughout this, and what he learned more than anything is that he wants to help other addicts. And it gave him purpose,” she added. 'He seemed better than I had seen in a while.
Kauffman concluded: “I lost a friend, in multiple ways. And what’s amazing is the outpouring from the fans who lost a friend of theirs, too. And I hope wherever he is, he feels it.”
