A 2022 interview has revealed how late actor and comedian Matthew Perry<\/a> wanted to be remembered after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on podcast Q With Tom Power to promote his memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing<\/em>, Matthew admitted he wanted to be known for more than Chandler Bing on Friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to be remembered as somebody who lived well, loved well, was a seeker,\u201d Matthew said during the interview. \u201cAnd his paramount thing is that he wants to help people. That\u2019s what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best thing about me, bar none, is that if somebody comes to me and says, \u2018I can\u2019t stop drinking, can you help me?\u2019 I can say \u2018yes\u2019 and follow up and do it,\u201d Perry told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I die, I don\u2019t want Friends to be the first thing that\u2019s mentioned. I want that to be the first thing that\u2019s mentioned. And I\u2019m gonna live the rest of my life proving that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Perry died in an apparent drowning accident over the weekend, aged 54. His close friend and former co-star Lisa Kudrow\u2019s acquaintance told media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c… Matthew was finally at peace with himself and was having the best year of his life since his book launch almost exactly one year ago. He was enjoying life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
