Matthew Perry was ‘giggling between takes’ of the 2021 ‘Friends’ reunion: ‘Being his usually silly self’

Matthew Perry was “sweet,” “silly” and “giggling between takes” while filming the “Friends” reunion, according to a source who worked on the TV special. 

Speaking with The Post ahead of the one-year anniversary of Perry’s death, the insider recalled how funny and kind Perry was behind the scenes of the 2021 reunion. 

“He was very sweet and silly,” the source said.

“Matthew was giggling in between takes. He was so grateful to be a part of the special and that it was even happening.”

Perry was “being his usual silly self the entire time, and made everyone working on the show feel as normal as possible given who he and his cast members are,” the insider added. 

The love and affection Perry and his “Friends” co-stars shared was evident for the entire crew and production staff to see. “He gave a lot of praise to his cast members — saying all the same sweet things they said about him, so you know their love and bond was true,” the insider said.
