Courteney Cox is still in touch with her late friend Matthew Perry. In a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning , the actor said she still felt his presence after her "Friends " costar passed away in October 2023. "If we believed that, he would come see me more often," she said.
Cox explained that she still feels the spirits of several important people in her life and manages to communicate with them. “I talk to my mom, my dad, Matthew,” she explains. "I feel like there's a lot of people... I think that's leading us. I definitely feel like Matthew is around."
Cox and Perry star in 'Friends' Starred in all 10 seasons with Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc. However, their on-screen relationship was closer than most, as their characters Monica Gellar and Chandler Bing went from friends to lovers before finally getting married in season seven.
Cox and Perry's friendship
Cox also reflected on her friendship with Perry and what she remembers most about him. "I think he's probably one of the funniest people in the world," she said. "He's just so funny. He really has a big heart. [He] obviously struggled. I'm so grateful to have been able to work closely with him for so many years."
After Friends ended in 2004, the two stayed in touch and often shared reunion photos on Instagram. Cox even guest-starred in Perry's 2013 sitcom "Go On" as a potential love interest (unlike her "Friends" character , this time it didn't work out).
Weeks after Perry's death, Cox paid tribute to Perry, sharing a sweet story of the one-night stand that started Monica and Chandler's romance. "I am so grateful for every moment I spent with you, Marty, and I miss you every day," she wrote. "Before we started rolling, he whispered something funny for me to say. He does that a lot. He's funny and he's nice."
