“I went to the funeral last weekend. You know, it’s sad. “He was a hilarious man, so we alternated between laughing and crying while remembering him,” Hank Azaria told Messenger.
“The whole world lost him. In a way, it’s nice to see the world share this pain,” he added.
Matthew Perry died on October 28 after his body was found in his hot tub. He was 54 years old.
