The actor made the shocking revelation during the reunion that he felt like “he was going to die” if the studio audience did not laugh at one of his jokes.
Perry starred as Chandler for all 10 seasons of the hit series alongside Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow.
The show, which is one of the most popular TV series of all time, followed the lives of its six characters as they navigated love, career and friendships in New York City.
In 2021, HBO hosted a hotly anticipated reunion of the stars, where they came together to discuss their time on the show and celebrate some special memories.
The one-off episode saw the cast revisit their characters’ old apartments, rediscover the set and welcome celebrity guests.
One special revelation from the reunion was that Chandler’s romance with Monica Geller, played by Cox, only came about thanks to the fans.
Show producer, Kevin Bright, said the studio audience “went insane” when the characters spent the night together during an episode set in London and even though they planned for them to only have a one-night stand, knew they had to make them an official couple.
Producers also opened up about casting Perry as Chandler, who became known for his hilarious one-liners and sarcastic quips.
