On October 28, when he tragically died at the age of 54, American comedian Matthew Perry brought tears to the eyes of all the fans of the TV series Friends after often making them laugh.
Interpreting the hilarious and charming Chandler Bing for 10 seasons on the most famous sitcom in television history, the actor knew how to transfer his irrepressible sense of humor to his character, sublimating his acting and his irresistible comic timing. Great scripts from friends.
Really, we can’t count the number of sequences that made Chandler laugh out loud on the couch.
Whether it’s the scene where he finds himself in Rachel’s office, the episode where he and Joey flatly refuse to leave their lovely leather seats, or even the first scene of the pilot where we get to hear his famous “And I want a million dollars.”Examples are countless.
But it is in the aptly titled episode 2 of season 5 who kissedWhich is undoubtedly one of his most amazing moments. First because of the absurdity of the scene, then because of its completely unexpected side, but above all because it contributes to one of the most interesting intrigues of the entire series: the secret romance between Chandler and Monica.
Recall that the two “friends” spent their first night in London at the end of season 4, at Ross’s wedding (eventually canceled). Since then, they have been desperately trying to keep their relationship a secret, without the suspicions of 4 other friends.
As he leaves the apartment to go to work, Chandler mechanically approaches Monica for a long kiss…but completely forgets that Phoebe and Rachel are also in the room.
A long, very awkward silence ensues, which Chandler breaks in the most incredible way: to change things up, he also kisses Rachel, then Phoebe.
Symbolizing the many misunderstandings surrounding the hidden romance between Chandler and Monica, this scene is undoubtedly one of the classics for most fans of the series.
