Matthew Perry has passed away at 54
Actor most associated with the role of Chandler Bing in the long-running sitcom said to have drowned at his Los Angeles home
Has to look this up from the tldrbot
Perry was born in Massachusetts in 1969 to an American father and a Canadian mother, who would later move her son to Ottawa to work as a press aide to Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau. In his bestselling 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry recalled acting up after his father abandoned his family to chase his own dreams of becoming an actor – including bullying a young Justin Trudeau. “I decided to end my argument with him when he was put in charge of an entire army,” he wrote.
Wondering if he was under the influence considering he drowned... Fuck. RIP...
American actor dead is world news?
RIP to him and I hope it was painless but let’s not overinflate this story
'Friends' was one of the biggest tv series in nearly every country, it's not just good ol' American hubris, nor unimportant news to people throughout the world who enjoyed his work. Artists who are known around the world make headlines all the time, no less when they die, obviously. I certainly doubt anyone would read of Patrick Stewart dying, only to rush to the comments to say how irrelevant this British actor's passing was.
