Perry parts with beloved Bing

Matthew Perry says he had to fight back the tears when it came time to say goodbye to wisecracking Chandler Bing

“I didn’t cry, but I felt like I was about to for like seven hours,” the 34-year-old Friends star says.

"There was a sweet moment where my girlfriend [fashion student Rachel Dunn] and I went for a walk on the stage. No-one was there. We just held hands and walked around. It was sweet. None of us will probably be involved in anything as successful as Friends again,” he said. “That’s something we just have to deal with.”

Now, even though he’s excited about his movie career, he still says wistfully he’d do Friends all over again.

“Everybody loved each other so much that, if it was about just being with the cast, I’d be there for another 10 years.”
