Recent discussions about Matthew Perry’s social media activity, particularly his posts related to Batman, have prompted questions about whether these posts were a subtle cry for help. This conversation emerged in the wake of the tragic passing of the Friends alum and his series of posts featuring the iconic DC superhero.
Just one day before his untimely demise, Matthew Perry was seen having lunch with Athenna Crosby, a former Miss Teen USA, at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles on October 27, marking one of his last public appearances.
Fans and followers had raised concerns, speculating that his social media content, which prominently featured the unmistakable bat logo associated with Batman, might indicate a plea for assistance. In the fictional world of Gotham City, the same symbol is used to call upon the caped crusader.
However, Athenna Crosby, a friend of Matthew Perry, has stepped forward to provide clarity on the matter. She explained that fans may have misconstrued the intention behind his posts and shared that the late actor held a genuine admiration for the iconic superhero.
Describing him as “very sweet and a little bit nerdy,” Athenna revealed that Matthew had a deep affection for Batman. He even affectionately referred to his car as the “Batmobile” due to its all-black tint and matte paint, reminiscent of the famous vehicle.
Additionally, Athenna disclosed that Matthew had playfully taken to calling himself “Mattman,” a self-coined moniker that reflected his genuine fondness for the character.
Athenna emphasized that she chose to speak out publicly to protect the character of the late 54-year-old comedian. She explained that Matthew Perry was in high spirits, looking forward to the future, and committed to maintaining his health. She firmly asserted that his passing was an unfortunate accident.
Matthew Perry’s untimely departure occurred at the age of 54, when his assistant discovered him unresponsive in the jacuzzi at his Los Angeles residence.
