Following Perry's passing on October 28, 2023, due to the acute effects of ketamine, Schwimmer joined other cast members in honouring his memory on social media

David Schwimmer appeared on the "Origins with Cush Jumbo" podcast (via People) and was surprised to hear the host talk about a conversation she once had with Matthew Perry in which the late actor praised Schwimmer’s physical comedy chops.

David Schwimmer is thrilled to learn Matthew Perry was a fan of his approach to comedy, but he doesn't necessarily think the late actor would have told him himself. During an appearance on his friend Cush Jumbo's Origins podcast on Tuesday, Sept. 17, Schwimmer, 57, admitted Perry was "reserved" with him at times.
