After the video went viral, fans instantly gushed over the tribute, flooding the comments section. "This is so amazing!" one user wrote as another expressed, "What an incredible tribute! I love it!"
"I need to see this in real life!!!" another said.
As one user wrote, "Love it. R.I.P Matthew Perry."
Meanwhile, another fan chimed in, "That was great! What a nice tribute."
The 54-year-old actor had struggled with addiction for a long time, though it wasn’t until he released his memoir that he opened up and let down his walls about that time in his life. Last year, he stated he had been clean for 18 months, even spending “$9 million or something trying to get sober.”
After coming forward with his addiction, he vowed to help others who were struggling, even stating that is how he wanted to be remembered.
Another fan respected Perry's wishes by commenting on the video, "So I would just like to say that I’ve been seeing that he said that he didn’t want 'Friends' to be the thing he was remembered for, that he wanted to be remembered for how he wanted to help people, which I know is true and that he personally helped a lot of people, but for someone like me, who didn’t have the pleasure of knowing him… 'Friends' has always helped me, and always will!!! RIP."
