John Stamos is the latest celebrity to pay tribute to Matthew Perry with a touching post on Instagram. The Full House alum recalled Perry’s generosity and kindness when he guest-starred on Friends.
“Matthew and I had been friendly long before Friends. So, when I guest stared as Zach, the prospective sperm donor for Chandler and Monica, I hung with him a lot,” Stamos shared. “Standing backstage, ready to make my entrance, Matt whispers, ‘The audience is going go crazy when they see you! Get ready for some loud screams.’”
Stamos continued, “I walk through the door… silence. I was so embarrassed. We finish the scene and as I start to slither back to my dressing room and quit showbiz, Matt walks over to the studio audience: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for John Stamos! You guys probably didn’t recognize him at first because he’s so much better looking in person!’ I never forgot that and the world will never forget you.”

The Friends cast released a joint statement following Perry’s death saying in part, “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family.”
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer signed the statement saying that “in time we will say more, as and when we are able.”
