A few days before his shocking death, Matthew had met his father, John Bennett Perry. Taking to Instagram, the Friends actor shared a photo with his 82-year-old dad and wrote, “Here is me, and my father John, both holding a beverage.” Much like Matthew, John is also an actor and has appeared in several films. This includes the 1996 release Independence Day, and 1997 film George of the Jungle.
Suzanne and John welcomed Matthew on August 19, 1969. However, they separated when he was one. Suzanne then married Keith Morrison and lived in Canada with them. He made his acting debut in A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988) but his performance as Chandler in Friends remained iconic made him a household name. The actor was seen in the show alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Schwimmer. The actors are yet to react to the news.
