‘Heartbroken’ David Beckham speaks out after pal Matthew Perry’s tragic death
David Beckham has been left “heartbroken” after it was revealed Friends legend Matthew Perry had died.
The actor, who portrayed Chandler Bing on the American sitcom, was found dead in a Los Angeles home on Saturday after he reportedly drowned in a jacuzzi.
A host of TV personalities, actors, and former colleagues have since raced to social media to pay tribute to the talented actor.
Among those leaving tributes was Inter Miami owner Beckham, who sent his condolences with a poignant tribute posted to his Instagram Stories.
Taking to the platform, the former England international added not one, but two iconic pictures of the Friends star.
In the first story, David posted a black and white image of Matthew, writing: “It’s just so sad. We’ll miss this laugh,” while adding a heartbroken emoji.
The former professional footballer then followed up his tribute with a snap of Matthew’s Friends character, in which he added: “Thank you for all the laughs, Chandler Bing.”
David and Matthew sparked an online friendship in 2020 after the football icon was pictured wearing a Friends T-shirt while out on a walk.
The apparel in question featured a scene from the season three episode The One Where No One’s Ready, where Joey puts on all of Chandler’s clothes.
