Matthew once apparently described David as “a linchpin person in a scene,” saying that his Friends castmates “were always looking” to him for direction.

The 57-year-old actor was “surprised” to learn his late Friends co-star - who died in October 2023 aged 54 - was a fan of his approach to comedy and admitted he didn’t think his pal would have ever told him himself.

David Schwimmer appeared on the "Origins with Cush Jumbo" podcast (via People) and was surprised to hear the host talk about a conversation she once had with Matthew Perry in which the late actor praised Schwimmer’s physical comedy chops.
