Variety reports the sit-down interview is Aniston’s first following the death of Perry in late October. She tells the magazine Perry was healthy, had quit smoking and was getting in shape.
“He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard,” said Aniston in the interview.

Perry, was best known for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on Friends. Perry had been publicly open about a history of substance addiction and had previously said he couldn’t remember years of ‘Friends’ because of drug abuse.
Shortly after Perry’s death, Aniston posted to Instagram a photo of her and Perry on the set of Friends. She also posted an image of a text conversation between the two. In the conversation, Perry appears to have sent the photo to Aniston saying, “Making you laugh just made my day. It made my day.” Aniston replied, “Awww the first of THOUSANDS of times.”
