It’s impossible to pick from 10 seasons, but I keep going back to Chandler and Monica’s proposal as Matthew Perry’s finest moment on Friends because of how deeply felt his performance is. Yes, Perry was a sarcasm god, but his sincerity and sensitivity shines brightly here. pic.twitter.com/cOHMqQ9N4T

On days we open Netflix to watch “something else” and still end up watching friends,
On days we have a bad day and need a friend,
On days we just want to turn back the clock ‘cause we are feeling old

About his death
The Friends actor was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Los Angeles residence on Saturday as per the LA Times.
In his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, that released in 2022, he spoke about battling alcoholism and health issues
Battling alcoholism
Perry faced many challenges with alcoholism and drug addiction. Perry openly admitted to having begun drinking at the age of 14, stating, "By the time I was 18, I was drinking every day."
"Acting was another one of my drugs. And it didn't do the damage that alcohol was already starting to do. In fact, it was getting harder and harder to wake up after a night of drinking", he mentioned.
He also revealed that he had several health hazards after his colon burst and was fighting for his life after as his heart stopped working during the surgery.
People quoted Matthew as saying, "The doctors told my family that I had a two-percent chance to live. That's the time I really came close to my life ending." It also said that the actor spent two weeks in a coma and had a colostomy bag for about a year.
