Athletes Pay Special Tribute To Matthew Perry After His Death

Since Matthew Perry’s unexpected death, an array of athletes have taken to social media to share their love and grief for the beloved “Friends” actor. 

Former tennis star Martina Navratilova shared a post by Morgan Fairchild, who portrayed Perry’s mother on “Friends.” “So sad … RIP,” she wrote. Meanwhile, wrestler Mick Foley revealed how deeply he admired Perry. “I am really so sorry to hear of the death of actor Matthew Perry,” tweeted Foley. “I am such a big fan of #Friends (I’ve been wearing a Friends shirt the past two days ), and Perry’s Chandler Bing character was the one I identified with most. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and his many fans.” Dinesh Kartith, a pro cricket player, tweeted. “Today, the same person who brought joy and laughter to our lives has left us all with heavy hearts. Rest in peace, #MatthewPerry.”

However, one of the longer and more gut-wrenching tributes came from former NFL star Robert Griffin III, who celebrated Perry’s talent and importance on “Friends.” “Matthew Perry was more than Chandler Bing. He was what made Friends go. Sad to hear of his passing, but thankful for the memories he gave us. Rest in Peace,” tweeted Griffin on top of a compilation of Perry’s funniest “Friends” scenes. Griffin followed up with a longer tribute to Perry on TikTok, with the caption: “Rest in Peace Matthew Perry, we know Chandler Bing is showing off his dance moves in Heaven.”
