During an interview with Variety alongside Reese Witherspoon, the Friends star opened up about the unexpected passing of her former co-star, who died on 28 October aged 54. "As he said he'd love to be remembered. He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy - that's all I know.". The Morning Show actress recalled texting with Matthew on the morning of his death. "I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty," she remembered. "He was not in pain. He wasn't struggling. He was happy."
