Friends star Matthew Perry dies aged 54<\/h3>\n

Gwyneth Paltrow has recalled the romantic moments she shared with ex Matthew Perry as she joined the growing chorus of celebrities in paying tribute to the star following his tragic death.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old actor, beloved for his performance in the hit sitcom as Chandler Bing, was found dead in an apparent drowning on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Following the tragic news, Matthew’s ex Gwyneth recalled spending a “magical” summer with him just over a year before Friends premiered in September 1994.<\/p>\n

“I met Matthew Perry in 1993 at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts,” she wrote on Instagram. “We were both there for most of the summer doing plays.<\/p>\n

“He was so funny and so sweet and so much fun to be with. We drove out to swim in creeks, had beers in the local college bar, kissed in a field of long grass. It was a magical summer.”<\/p>\n

Gwyneth wrote that at the time of their meeting, the actor had already shot the pilot for Friends, but the show that would become an international sensation had not aired yet.<\/p>\n

“He had shot the pilot of Friends but it had not aired yet,” The Shakespeare in Love star added. “He was nervous, hoping his big break was just around the corner. It was.<\/p>\n

“We stayed friends for a while until we drifted apart, but I was always happy to see him when I did. I am super sad today, as so many of us are. I hope Matthew is at peace at long last. I really do.”<\/p>\n

His Friends co-stars Maggie Wheeler and Morgan Fairchild were among the many actors remembering the star.<\/p>\n
