Hayek honored her late costar on Instagram on what would have been his 56th birthday by sharing an endearing scene with Perry from their 1997 romantic comedy Fools Rush In.

The entertainment industry was rocked at the news that Matthew Perry, most popular for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, passed away on October 28, 2023.

Tributes poured in from all over the world, ranging from fans to fellow Friends castmates to countless other celebrities.


One sweet tribute came from Frida's Salma Hayek, who starred opposite Perry in the 1997 romantic comedy Fools Rush In, where the pair faced a pregnancy after a one-night stand and discovered what it really meant to grow together and fall in love.

Two days after Perry's passing, Hayek posted on Instagram that she'd needed time to process the news and that she would always look back on their time together, and how they shared their dreams, with extreme fondness.

Perry would have turned 56 on August 19, and Hayek found herself remembering her late co-star.

In remember him, she shared an iconic photo from Fools Rush In, along with one of the most popular clips from the film.

Holding hands as the pair walked around to the back of the house to a family party, Perry's Alex was shocked by the number of people:

"This is a family dinner?"

Hayek's Isabel, unphased by the group, offered:

"I guess a lot of people couldn't make it."

Then Hayek wrote in the caption:

"Thinking of you today, Matthew."
"Pensando en ti hoy, Matthew."

In his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry wrote about Hayek, their time together making Fools Rush In, and their friendship.

While they didn't always agree about acting approaches, he recalled her with extreme fondness.

"Her long-winded ideas weren't always helpful. There's one scene in which I'm professing my love for her, and she suggested that we don't look at each other, rather, that we should look out at our future together."
"I finally said, 'Listen, Salma, I'm telling you I love you in this scene. You look wherever you want, but I'm going to be looking at you.'"

Whatever they settled on worked, and the scene proved to be a fan favorite.

Somehow, it's been almost two years since the awkward boyfriend in Fools Rush In and wise-cracking best friend in Friends passed away. May his memory live on through his work, his co-stars, and the people who loved him.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
