Why? He hasn’t done anything majorly wrong. Yes trying to chat up a 19 yr old when you’re in your early 50s could be classed as a bit icky but he hasn’t done anything illegal. He was just chancing his luck. From the article the things he was saying to her didn’t sound too sleazy. She said he was a really nice guy.
Chandler Bing is dead to meCan any celebrity male actually behave appropriately!!! As a big Friends fan this has disappointed me.
When you sign up for these dating apps you put the age range of those you want to match up with so she obviously didn’t have an upper age limit. She said “I feel like a lot of guys in Hollywood are talking to all these young girls and it's something that I think a lot of people should be aware of”. So she purposely wanted to match with older men despite her protesting later in the article that she wouldn't “ever talk to older guys” though she thought talking to the Friends actor “would be funny”.
So I don’t get the dramatic ‘Chandler Bing is dead to me’ reaction?

When my mum died (complete surprise) I was asked to write the eulogy the same week when I could barely get dressed or wash myself. I literally have no memory of the funeral I was in so much shock. The idea that friends and family are expected to craft eloquent statements immediately upon the death of a loved one is cruel and unrealistic.

Maybe this will be a little too personal, but going to say it anyway. I’ve been feeling quite down and dissociated from life the last few weeks. I’m 36, which I think is a hard age for a lot of people no matter what stage of life you’re at, but I’ve just been struggling with things like still being single, job not being overly satisfying, major isolation as a result of constant remote working these days, even though all your colleagues with families and kids think it’s absolutely wonderful, etc etc…
Anyway, I happened to be at a house party on Saturday where a lot of drugs were being taken. I indulged a bit, but even as I did so, I knew it wasn’t the best idea, considering I was already feeling mentally fragile. Ended up having a good talk with a friend there, but life is just tough sometimes and sometimes you just feel really sad. Around 4:30am, people started getting the notifications of Matthew Perry’s death. Like others here, it really floored me and I felt so, so sad for him.
I feel like I’ve just had a taster recently of what it feels like to no longer be very excited about life or the future, and it breaks my heart that I think that’s how he probably felt every day of his adult life. Just numb. It’s also so hard on friends and family to be consistently around that energy. People gravitate towards positive people. I want to get back into therapy, go on lots of nature-filled walks, and just be around people I love.
I can completely understand how having tonnes of money doesn’t make you feel any less dead inside. I’m just sad he was so sad for so long. I don’t want to feel like this and I still believe I can get back to my old self. I do think it’s important that people really try to put themselves in the shoes of someone with depression and addiction issues though. Empathy is wonderful.
I hope he’s at peace now. Loved Chandler Bing and hope he took some comfort in all of the joy he brought to millions of people- how many of us can say we affected so many people so positively? Comedy is a wonderful thing. And the work he did to help other people with addiction issues. May he rest in peace.

If he had “slid into her DMs” that would be one thing but to engineer a match, chat away to him and then try and have him cancelled is totally different and totally wrong

And it seems from the article that she must have chosen the settings for her match as you do on other dating apps so must have chosen 50+. Sounds like shes set him up.

Yeah he's a sleaze bag but it irritates me that women use these sorts of things to get their 5 seconds of fame... I'm not sure going to the press with it is really the right approach although I do get why she wanted to out him to some extent.

I think most people are really grieving Chandler Bing, not Matthew Perry.

Depending on your age, a lot of people are shocked how upset they are over Matthew’s death because they perhaps hadn’t realised how much Friends had been there in their lives.
It was constant in so many lives, especially those born in late 80s and the 90s and then it just kept going.
Friends stopped making episodes but they ran forever and now with Netflix it’s always there. When you’re hungover, Sunday morning cooking breakfast, background telly. Always there. So comforting.
So it feels like part of our childhood/formative years has broken off with his death.

He wasn't rude to Miriam at all. Miriam was doing her usual shtick which is little old lady saying shocking things and he was reacting to it. Celebrities reactions to Miriam are part of the reason Graham books her so often.

I think it’s a tad unfair. He’s obviously lonely after his break up and he thought this girl liked him. If anyone’s in the wrong it’s her, why humiliate him like that? He didn’t do anything wrong in my opinion.
Friends is my comfort show, watch it every night to fall asleep too. I've always wished for the friendship group they had, maybe why It's my comfort

Must be a very strange thing to live with knowing you're adored by millions for not being yourself and playing a scripted/invented character. In fact I'd imagine it's a bit of a headfuck for someone quite fragile.
We all just want to be loved for who and what we are at the end of the day. Even in death, people are mourning Chandler Bing - not the man who played him.
