As the world continues to mourn the tragic, untimely death of Matthew Perry, his former co-star Salma Hayek is looking back at their time together on set.
The Friends alum passed away on Saturday, October 28 after an apparent drowning in a hot tub in a Los Angeles area home; though an autopsy was performed, a conclusive cause of death has yet to be determined.
Since, fellow stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Robyn Lively, Elizabeth Hurley, Maggie Wheeler, Selma Blair, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Lisa Ann Walter, Christina Ricci, and many more have paid tribute to the late Chandler Bing actor.
On Monday, Salma took to Instagram to share her own heartbreaking tribute to Matthew, sharing a throwback photo of the two together, presumably from their time filming their movie Fools Rush In in 1997.
"Two days ago, I woke up to the shocking news that Matthew Perry is no longer with us," the actress wrote, adding: "It's taken me a couple of days to process this profound sadness."
She then added: "There is a special bond that happens when you share dreams with someone, and together you work towards them."
Salma continued: "I was very moved last year when Matthew shared on his Instagram Stories how much he loved Fools Rush In, and how he thought that that film we did together was probably his best movie."
