Matthew Perryās favourite Friends episode is unexpected (Picture: REUTERS)
Matthew Perry once spoke about his favourite Friends episode and it isnāt one youād necessarily expect.
Out of the 236 episodes, the late Perry, who played Chandler Bing, chose The One with the Blackout as the one he is most fond of despite filming his scenes separate from the rest of the cast and having less dialogue.
In the seventh episode of the first series New York has a sudden power outage and Chandler is trapped in a small room with Victoriaās Secret model Jill Goodacre.
Chandler initially makes some errors ā he fails to blow his chewing gum and instead accidentally spits it out, before putting it back in his mouth only to realise it doesnāt belong to him, and chokes on it from the shock.
Despite the rocky start, the meeting ends with a kiss on the cheek.
āThe interesting thing about that episode was I didnāt speak much. It was mostly in voiceover,ā Perry told Entertainment Weekly.
āWe prerecorded what I said, and I had to react.
āI [remember] spitting my gum out, and it stuck to the wall. It was my choice to just stay frozen in fear and embarrassment.ā

He also enjoyed working with Jill, 59: āLetās face it: Jill Goodacre is hot, so it wasnāt that difficult.ā
Perry sweetly recalled how much he enjoyed watching his five co-stars ā Jennifer Aniston,Ā Courteney Cox,Ā Lisa Kudrow,Ā Matt LeBlancĀ andĀ David SchwimmerĀ ā record their scenes as an ensemble during the 2004 interview.
āWhat was great about that night was that I was also able to watch the other three-quarters of the show, which was these five great actors doing ensemble work that was amazing.
āThis was the first time I realised, āGee, this is really clickingā,ā he said.
It certainly did click, and the sitcom continued for a decade and won an impressive six Emmy Awards.

Perry was found deadĀ aged 54 at his Los Angeles-area home on October 28, andĀ was laid to restĀ on November 2, with his loved ones gathering to say goodbye at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angelesā Hollywood Hills neighbourhood.
His Friends colleagues have since paid tribute to Perry with heartfelt social media posts.
