John Stamos took to Instagram yesterday to pay tribute to Matthew Perry, who died last week at the age of 54.

In his heartfelt post, Stamos revealed that Perry helped him through an embarrassing moment on the set of Friends.

Stamos was guest-starring on the season 9 episode "The One With the Donor" in 2003, playing a potential sperm donor for Perry's character Chandler and Courteney Cox's Monica.

Stamos' entry fell flat with the audience, which completely deflated him, but according to his post, Perry helped him brush it off.

In his Instagram tribute to the late actor, Stamos recalled:

"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."
"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.'"

But that was not the case.

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."

Stamos posted a video of the scene to accompany his touching message.

Viewers of the post thanked Stamos for offering them a glimpse of Perry's thoughtfulness and compassion.
