Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry had a very close bond and the actress believes that her late Friends co-star is still around her. In a new interview, Cox revealed that she senses his presence around her all the time.
For those unaware, Perry died in October 2023. He was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home in Pacific Palisades, Calif. He was 54.
Speaking candidly on CBS Sunday Morning, Cox, who played the role of Monica Geller for 10 seasons on the hit show, commemorated the 20th anniversary of the sitcom’s series finale and remembered Perry for being the "funniest human being on the planet".
“I think he’s probably one of the funniest human beings in the world. He’s just so funny,” Cox, 59, said. “He is genuinely a huge heart. Obviously struggled. I’m so thankful I got to work so closely with him for so many years. He visits me a lot, if we believe in that.”

Cox also shared that she believed Perry guides her, just like her mom and dad. “I talk to my mom, my dad, Matthew. I feel like there are a lot of people that, I think, guide us,” she shared. “I do sense — I sense Matthew’s around for sure.”
The LA County Medical Examiner’s Office determined in December 2023 that the Friends actor died of "acute effects of ketamine" and it was an accidental death. The autopsy also listed drowning, coronary artery disease and the opioid buprenorphine as contributors to his death.
