Lisa Kudrow also confessed to stealing something from the set of Friends when asked by Barrymore but didn't disclose what.
Kudrow brought up the gift by Matthew Perry back in 2020 during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel where she added that it was wrapped in gift wrapping. She expressed laughing and crying hysterically after receiving the gift from Matthew Perry as the show ended.
Fans commended Kudrow's patience in not opening a jar for a whopping 20 years after receiving it. Others shared heartfelt messages about Matthew Perry and his role in Friends as Chandler Bing.
Chandler Bing was definitely a fan favorite for his hilarious sarcastic comedy lines and being the most relatable character out of the bunch.
The American actor passed away in his Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28, 2023, in his hot tub. Reports indicate that Perry died due to a ketamine overdose which was supplied to him by two doctors, Dr. Mark Chavez who pleaded guilty in the Los Angeles court, and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, as reported by the BBC.
