Cox’s tribute to Perry highlights their on-screen love

Cox recently posted a tribute to Perry just hours after Matt LeBlanc, who played Chandler’s best friend Joey Tribbiani, posted his own tribute.

“I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day,” Cox wrote on Instagram, “When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now here’s one of my favorites.”

“To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story. In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say. He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind.”

However, the video showed both the original scene from the show where Chandler and Monica were in bed and then the outtake of the same scene where Monica jokes that Chandler has to go down on her too.

Perry was incredibly dedicated to his and Cox’s on-screen partnership in Friends to the point where he shut down the writers’ idea of having Chandler cheating on Monica during their anniversary in Las Vegas because it wasn’t true to his character.
