Matthew Perry’s mum Suzanne Morrison just opened up about her late son’s tragic death for the first time in an exclusive interview with Today.

During the emotional conversation, which was broadcasted on Monday, exactly one year after Perry’s death, Morrison recounted her final interactions with the Friends star. “He went through a period, interestingly enough, just before he died when he was showing me one of his new houses,” she said.

“He came up to me and he said, ‘I love you so much, and I’m so happy to be with you now. And I’m so …’ It was almost as though it was a premonition or something. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I thought, ‘How long has it been since we’ve had a conversation like that?’ It’s been years.”

She added that “there was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him, and he felt it very strongly”.

“But he said, ‘I’m not frightened any more,’” she continued. “And it worried me.”

The world was shocked when news emerged that Perry, a beloved actor who played the role of Chandler Bing in Friends, had died on October 28, 2023, at age 54, after being found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. According to the autopsy report obtained by NBC News, the actor died of acute effects of ketamine, which likely led to him becoming unconscious and drowning.
