What was the cranberries reference about?

I haven't seen it, but could it be a reference to Chandler's Chan-berries?

FloofCloud · 29/10/2023 05:46

That's so very sad, and another talented icon has died so young 🥺 he had his demons and I hope he's found peace

So sad. He was a troubled soul. He worked so hard to overcome his addictions.

The last few posts on instagram were strange, talking about Batman etc. Someone commented days ago asking if it was a cry for help.

So very sad, although I really wish I had never read his book, he sounded like such a prick.

So do you

SofiYol · 29/10/2023 06:25

I am so sad to wake up to this news. FRIENDS was like a huge fluffy blanket you could wrap yourself in and it got me through many dark days. He was so troubled, but so incredibly talented.

I hope he’s now at peace.

Cookingdoesntgettougher · 29/10/2023 06:31

RIP Matthew

LeonBlack · 29/10/2023 06:32

Really sad, but not surprising.

Seeing the stare of him on that Friends reunion was a hard watch.

crumblingschools · 29/10/2023 06:35

Feel sorry for his family and the rest of the Friends cast

Starrystarryfight · 29/10/2023 06:42

Just looked at his insta. Absolutely a cry for help/telling people his plan.
Devastated

Hellenabe · 29/10/2023 06:44

I think only the women on the Friends cast were genuinely close. It was pretty obvious he had his demons. The media are quick to say no drugs because the powers up don't want anything affecting the Friends brand. Ages ago, there was a thing with Matt Le Blanc apparently being caught with a woman when married but I heard he was actually caught taking cocaine but this was deemed a bigger no no than being caught cheating so they gave the fake cheating story.

MuffinCoffee · 29/10/2023 06:46

Truly sad news to wake up to. He was so troubled and was brave enough to speak about his mental health struggles. May he rest in peace.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 29/10/2023 06:47

I don't as so sad to read this, I loved him as an actor.

MBM18 · 29/10/2023 06:49

Woke up and saw this news and instantly felt sad. Friends is my go to comfort show. Won't be the same now Sad such sad news.

decionsdecisions62 · 29/10/2023 06:51

Gosh that show got so many people through hard times and he was the glue on it. RIP Matthew 💐

FeltCarrot · 29/10/2023 06:51

Such sad news. Matthew was a huge talent and so funny.

I was just a little bit in love with Chandler Bing.

Sleep well.

CornishTiger · 29/10/2023 06:52

Oh gosh. Just looked at his Instagram. It was a huge change the last few posts wasn’t it. He was in a downward spiral. However, they started 11 days ago and I’m surprised no one close to him didn’t pick up on it too.

It is reported he died from drowning in his home.

The cranberries post is weird. Dolores O’Riordan died from drowning. I’m not sure if he intended to hint to that.

VisaWoes · 29/10/2023 06:52

Ok, I just looked at his Instagram and it’s really odd. To the extend that days ago people were asking him if he was ok and saying they were worried about him. The post with the cranberries seems odd when he asks if anyone knows what he’s trying to say…..the lead singer from The Cranberries drowned.

Any death is sad for the person and their family.

But I can't see how you can be devastated by the death of someone most people have never heard of, and you don't know except as a screen persona.

Honestly, get some perspective.

ThisIsntThe80sPat · 29/10/2023 06:56

Grew up watching friends. So sad 😔

SinkingSwim · 29/10/2023 06:58

Genuinely gutted by this, he was always my favourite friend. So witty and hilarious. Rest in peace Matthew.
