Matthew Perry was best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the famous sitcom, "Friends," where he appeared alongside Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Courteney Cox (Monica Geller/Bing), David Schwimmer (Ross Geller), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani), and Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay).

Now, one episode of "Friends" is getting a lot of attention as a line that Courteney Cox's character says to Matthew Perry's character is a bit ironic, and also extremely sad.

In one pisode of "Friends," Monica and Chandler are getting ready to have their wedding announcement photos taken, when Chandler has trouble smiling for the camera. As a joke, Monica, played by Courteney Cox, says, "Chandler, what's the matter with your face? Like this picture is supposed to say 'Geller and Bing to be married' not local woman saves drowning moron."

The cameraman then laughs, at which Monica says, "Hey, don't laugh at him. He's my drowning moron."

The line is now ironic as last weekend, Matthew Perry, who portrays Chandler Bing on the long-running sitcom, was found in his hot tub, deceased. It is believed he drowned.

Chandler Bing Says He Will Be The ‘One Who Dies First’

Matthew Perry may have predicted his own death in an episode of “Friends.” The Chan Chan Man was not wrong, unfortunately, as, in the eighth episode of the ninth season, his character said, “I guess I’ll be the one who dies first.”

In the episode titled ‘The One with Rachel’s Other Sister’, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Ross (David Schwimmer) argue over who will get custody of their baby girl, Emma, if anything were to happen to them.

Amy, Rachel’s sister, played by Christina Applegate, claimed she would get custody of Emma, however, she has not been part of Rachel’s life whatsoever, so the two break the news that Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) would take care of Emma if anything were to happen to Rachel or Ross.

This starts a quarrel between all the friends, but it isn’t until Chandler breaks all of Monica’s cherished china dishes that he says, “I guess I’ll be the one who dies first,” referring to the fact that his character would die before the other five friends because Monica would ‘kill’ him.

The “Friends” star had made it no secret that he had struggled with addiction for years, even opening up about that time in his life in his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”
