Teri Hatcher has opened up about her friendship with Matthew Perry, lifting the lid on one of their heartwarming interactions for the first time.
The beloved Friends star died on October 28 at the age of 54, with an investigation into his death currently ongoing.
Following his death, stars flocked to social media to pay tribute, sharing their fondest memories with the Hollywood legend over the years.
In a new interview, the Desperate Housewives actress revealed he privately reached out to her after she publicly admitted to being thrown off a dating app.
‘We would text each other a few times a year and, well, I’ve never told anybody this story but it was probably a year before he died that I got thrown off of the dating app Hinge because the app thought I was pretending to be myself,’ she recalled to the Telegraph.
‘I posted about that on Twitter and I got a text from Matthew. He said: “I got kicked off of Hinge too! What the heck are both of us doing on Hinge anyway?” I thought, “Yeah! What are we doing there?!”

Hatcher previously revealed that she attempted to find love on Hinge but bosses ‘kicked her off’ after fears that her profile was fake.
She demanded a refund and was given an apology, but became ‘over’ looking for a romantic partner on a dating app.
Speaking to the outlet, she also shared that she had started rewatching Friends in the wake of her loss, heaping praise on ‘brilliant’ Perry – who she shared the screen with in the Odd Couple in 2015.
‘I think that man was just brilliant, a comedic genius,’ she added. ‘He has gone way too soon and he was always wonderful to work with.

‘We had this cool intermittent, supportive relationship behind the scenes so I hope he always knew that I was there for him.’
The Chandler Bing icon, who battled drug addiction issues, was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home at the end of last year, and an autopsy later revealed he had been killed by ‘acute effects of ketamine’.
In June, a police source declared that several people may be charged in connection his death.
According to People Magazine, a law enforcement investigative insider said that the investigation was ‘nearing its conclusion’, and police believed that ‘multiple people’ should be charged.

The source added that US Attorney’s Office will make the ultimate decision on whether or not to press charges.
Last December, the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner said that Perry died from the ‘acute effects of ketamine’ and said the manner of death was ‘an accident.’
The report said he was receiving ‘ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety,’ with his last known treatment one and a half weeks before his death, and suggested he had been ‘reportedly clean for 19 months’ from drug use.
The ruling added: ‘The ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy.’
