As meetings with journalists, it seems impossible to escape questions about the disappearance of their former partner, as their complicity on a small screen has marked a decade. During a large portrait, Jennifer Aniston spoke about this loss in the pages of Vanity Fair.

Behind the scenes, the series team had done everything to accompany Matthew Perry in his fight against dependence. A battle that had particularly marked in the last years of the star of the star, found dead drowned, after taking Ketamine.
“It was almost as if we had mourned for a long time, his fight against this disease was extremely difficult. As much as it was hard for all of us and for the fans, as much a part of me is said that it may be better like that. I am relieved that he was finished with this suffering,” she confides in the columns of the magazine.
“One last salvation”
Jennifer Aniston also returned to the immense resonance of Friends over the years. During the reunions of the actors in 2021, she said she “really took the measure of the impact of the series on people’s lives”, discovering testimonies of fans who learned English thanks to the series or having “hung for dark periods”.
This 2021 meeting will have constituted “a recall bite, a last salvation of the troop of the six before the curtain closes”. A moment all the more precious since it marked the last moments shared with Matthew Perry in front of the cameras.
Now flagship figure of the series The Morning Show, Jennifer Aniston remains, for many, inseparable from her role as Rachel Green in sitcom. An association that absolutely does not bother it: “even if Friends was the only line of my CV, I would be filled and blessed “.
