Matthew Perry Hated One Thing About Chandler Bing
By RUSSELL MURRAY
In his 2022 memoir "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," late actor Matthew Perry recounts a change he actively fought to make to his "Friends" character Chandler Bing.
It turns out that the recognizably idiosyncratic vocal Chandlerisms had made him feel trapped while delivering lines, despite "Chandlerspeak" being a pop culture phenomenon.
"That particular cadence — could it be more annoying? — had been so played out that if I had to put the emphasis in the wrong place one more time [...] I'd explode [...]" he wrote.
It’s completely understandable then as to why Perry "just went back to saying lines normally, for the most part in season six and then beyond."
