Courteney Cox is honoring her late costar Matthew Perry just a few weeks after he tragically passed away at 54 years old.
"I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day.When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now here’s one of my favorites.To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story.In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say.He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind. 🤍🕊️," the actress captioned a clip from a Friends episode on Tuesday, November 14, via Instagram.
Of course, people loved seeing Cox's character, Monica Geller, and Perry's character, Chandler Bing, together again.
One person wrote, "We will miss you Chanandler Bong! thanks for the laughs! Love u forever! 🕊️😭💔," while another said, "our first super special #Mondler moment 🥺 we all miss him."
A third person added, "Courteney I am so sorry for your loss. You all brought so much light into this world. ❤️❤️."
Cox's post comes just hours after Matt LeBlanc posted for the first time.
"Matthew ... It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life," the actor, 56, gushed. "It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never."
"Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love," he added, before joking, "And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me."
