By the end of October, media outlets worldwide were reporting the sad news of Matthew Perry's untimely death. The 54-year-old actor was found deceased at his residence in Los Angeles. Initial speculation suggests that he most likely drowned, however, the official cause of death could take months to be confirmed.

Although Perry displayed his talent in many television productions, it was his role as the witty and sarcastic Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom "Friends" that garnished him the most recognition and love from audiences around the world. It's no surprise, then, that his passing has been felt on a global scale.

Three weeks after the tragic event, fans were awaiting memorial posts from the stars of the show. Their patience was rewarded when Courteney Cox, his TV wife, posted a heartfelt message on Instagram.

"I am grateful for every moment spent with you, Matty, and I miss you every day". "Working with Matthew provided thousands of moments I'd like to share. Here is one of my favorites -" she wrote, following up her words with a clip from one of their shared scenes.

Cox provided some backstory to the scene she posted and shared a behind-the-scenes secret with her fans.

"To provide some context, Chandler and Monica were initially meant to spend one night together in London. However, due to the audience's reaction, this moment marked the beginning of their love story. In the scene I posted, Matthew whispered a funny line for me to say right before filming began. He often did things like this. He was as funny and kind offscreen as he was on." she added in the touching post.
