Perry's character Chandler Bing has been a fan favourite for his comic timing and iconic sarcasm. Talking about Perry, Friends: The Reunion director Ben Winston put an end to the fear among fans and said that the actor was great on set.

Ben told The Hollywood Reporter, "Perry was great. People can sometimes just be unkind. I wish they weren't. I loved working with him. He's a brilliantly funny man and I thought he had some great one-liners in the show. I felt just happy and lucky to be in his presence and directing him on something like this."

Friends' executive producer Kevin Bright also had a similar reaction to fans' concern. He said Perry is doing great and it was great seeing him again. He added, "What people say is what people say. I don't have any to say about that, except it was great to see him. And I think he's very funny on the show. But yes, I think he's OK. He seems stronger and better since the last time I saw him, and excited about going forward."
