The late Matthew Perry, known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the hit TV series “Friends,” may receive a posthumous star on the renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the organization responsible for managing the Walk of Fame, has expressed its willingness to bestow this honor on the beloved actor. However, the final decision rests with Matthew Perry’s family.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is eager to place Matthew Perry’s star alongside the stars of his “Friends” co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox. They are also considering organizing a ceremony to pay tribute to the memory of the late actor, whose wit and charm endeared him to millions of fans around the world.
Interestingly, it was revealed that Matthew Perry had been chosen for a Walk of Fame star back in 2013, thanks to a submission by his public relations firm. However, no formal ceremony was ever arranged, and the award eventually lapsed in 2018.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has made it clear that the chair of the selection committee requires the approval of Matthew Perry’s family before proceeding. As of now, the family has not contacted the organization to discuss the planning of a star dedication ceremony.
If the family grants their consent for a Walk of Fame star in Matthew Perry’s honor, a designated family member will be responsible for accepting the accolade on his behalf and overseeing the logistics of sending out invitations for the ceremony. The anticipated guest list for the ceremony is expected to range from 60 to 90 attendees.
The possibility of Matthew Perry being posthumously recognized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame remains a poignant prospect, awaiting the decision of his family. This potential tribute would undoubtedly be a fitting and heartfelt gesture to celebrate the enduring legacy of a talented actor and beloved individual.
