Fans of “Friends” are requesting that one of the scenes Perry performed in the hit 90s series be removed from reruns because they find it very strange, especially after the actor’s death.
The scene in question appears in episode 5 of the seventh season and shows Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Perry) trying to take an engagement photo. Chandler desperately tries to smile for the photographer but can only make bizarre faces.
Monica becomes frustrated and tries to elicit a smile from her fiancé but eventually loses her patience and makes a sarcastic remark: “Chandler, what’s wrong with your face? This photo is supposed to say that Geller and Bing are getting married, not that a local woman saves an idiot who is drowning.”
When the photographer starts to laugh, Monica yells at him, saying, “Hey, don’t laugh at him; he’s my drowning idiot.”
After the 54-year-old actor was found dead in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles, apparently from drowning, fans of the series took to social media to request that the scene be removed, as it seems to foreshadow Perry’s death.
“They have to cut this scene from the show, man. They practically predicted the future,” commented one fan; “Could this scene BE any more creepy?” questioned another.
However, not everyone agrees with cutting the scene and believes the show should be left exactly as it was filmed.
“Everyone who is saying to erase this scene was too young or wasn’t even born when it happened… let the show continue as it was intended!” said one “Friends” fan; “Yes, he had a great sense of humor and was good at making people laugh; let’s keep the laughs he gave us in that show as they are,” agreed another.
