Matthew Perry Upstages Chandler Bing One Last Time With Glamorous Hollywood Funeral
image by stable-diffusion
Matthew Perry upstages his iconic "Friends" character, Chandler Bing, one last time with a glamorous Hollywood funeral.
The Hollywood hills resonated with uncharacteristic solemnity as sitcom royalty, Matthew Perry, best known for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the iconic 90s series "Friends," was laid to rest on Friday. Perry, who so famously couldn't BE more endearing in his role, passed away last Saturday at age 54, and even in death managed to upstage his character one last time with a touch of sublime Hollywood panache. The actor's burial, at the renowned Forest Lawn cemetery, was attended by Perry's family, old pals, and his Friends... not necessarily in that order. Until now, the Warner Brothers Studio lot, less than a mile away, had been the dramatic center of gravity for Perry and his co-stars. However, the Forest Lawn cemetery has now taken the coveted spot, and not simply because every dead person's biography ends with, "...and then they were buried." Photographs of the service, reported in world-renowned showbiz newshounds, showed a cavalcade of Hollywood A-listers attending the funeral, none of whom we'll name here because we don't need the fact-checkers buzzing around. However, it was reported that several of the cemetery's permanent residents, including Lucille Ball and Clark Gable, complained about Perry taking the spotlight yet again. As many mourners pointed out, Perry's funeral service eerily mirrored numerous Chandler Bing moments. Just as he couldn't stop stealing the show when alive, Perry managed to turn his funeral into yet another grand event where he was the star of the show. Perry's coffin seemed to whisper to the world that the essence of Chandler was still inside. His ego, having finally found a box it could not escape from, was a quivering manifestation of Perry's genius – an echo of the talent that brought laughter to millions worldwide. It regularly outshone his co-stars, resulting in rumors of it negotiating a spinoff series. As always, Perry's humor found its way out, even in the somber setting. A source reported that the order of service contained an obituary penned by Perry himself, featuring a last prank. The obit joke – potentially funnier than six seasons of Ross' geology puns – read: "If anyone asks, tell them I'm on a break." Even in death, Perry remained the quintessential Chandler Bing, outclassing his character one last time as he moved from a New York apartment to his final Hollywood residence. Perry, it seems, managed to have the last laugh yet again. In the end, Matthew Perry's greatest mystery remained unresolved - could he HAVE been any more unforgettable? The world, however, seems quite certain that he couldn't.
