Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will “never forget” Matthew Perry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tributes are flooding in for Matthew Perry<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old politician went to the same school as the late ‘Friends’ actor – who was found dead at his Los Angeles home on Saturday (28.10.23) aged 54 – in Ottawa and following the shock passing of his childhood friend, he has paid a heartfelt tribute to the star.<\/p>\n

Justin wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Matthew Perry\u2019s passing is shocking and saddening. I\u2019ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved \u2013 and you will be missed.”<\/p>\n

Tom Green<\/a>, who also grew up in Ottowa, also paid tribute to the ‘Whole Nine Yards’ actor.<\/p>\n

He posted on X: “Shocked and saddened to just hear about the passing of Matthew Perry in a tragic drowning. He is one of the many talented and incredible success stories from my hometown of Ottawa Canada. Rest in peace Matthew.”<\/p>\n

\nJosh Gad, who is currently starring in ‘Gutenberg The Musical’ admitted it was “horrible” to be greeted by the news when he finished his turn in the Broadway show.<\/p>\n

\nHe wrote on Instagram: “What horrible news to walk out to at the end of my show. No words. Just devastating. [Broken heart emojis] Love to all of his friends and his entire family.”<\/p>\n

\n‘Star Trek’ star George Takei found the news “tragic”.<\/p>\n

\nHe wrote: “What a tragic piece of news to read. My heart goes out to his loved ones and long time cast mates.”<\/p>\n

\nMatthew’s ‘Go On’ co-star Laura Benanti feels “grateful” to have known the actor.<\/p>\n

\nShe told People magazine in a statement: \u201cMatty was a generous, brilliant man of unparalleled talent. I feel grateful to have known him.”<\/p>\n

\nAnd Merdeith Salenger, who worked with the actor back in 1988 on ‘A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon’ has been left heartbroken by the news.<\/p>\n

\nShe wrote on X: “Oh no no no no no! Matty! Oh man. My heart breaks. Matty . . . Matthew and I have known each other since were were 16 years old. Oh man. No words. Rest in peace sweet @MatthewPerry.(sic)”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
