The cast of the series Friends did not pay tribute to Matthew Perry during the Emmy Awards ceremony because his death is “still very recent”.
The actor, found dead in his jacuzzi at the end of October at the age of 54, was honored during the “In Memorium” portion of the ceremony but his former colleagues Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer were not reunited for the occasion.
Asked about the possibility of having them participate in this tribute, Jeannae Rouzan-Clay, executive producer of the ceremony, told the Hollywood Reporter: “It’s still very fresh for them.”
Jesse Collins, who also served as executive producer, admitted that the idea was discussed “very early on” but that they wanted to respect the actors’ wishes.
He added: “We talked about it very early on, but I can imagine that, for their part, they are grieving someone who was still very close to them. I can’t speak for them, but we have to everyone respect the fact that they are a family. It was probably a little too soon.”
