Hey guys, hope you’re having a great Sunday! I’ve been a bit sad today with Matthew Perry’s passing. Friends has been one of my favourite TV shows for decades. I’ve been thinking a lot today how important TV and film can be in our lives, and how it can impact us very deeply. I know many of the shows I react to are your “Friends,” and the actors in them who have passed away have also made an impact on you. So I’m curious, what celebrity death has impacted you the hardest?

So sad to hear about Matthew Perry. He had his demons but he came across as a genuinely likeable fella. Not sure if it made the most impact on me, but as you're watching Father Ted at the moment, the actor who played Father Ted (Dermot Morgan) died the day after they filmed the last episode. He was 45. It was pretty shocking at the time.

The day after they filmed the last episode? That's insane! 45 is so young...

Yeah he had a heart attack the next day after filming. Must have been horrible for the makers to edit that episode, knowing he had died but wanting to honour his memory.

For me it was not an actor but the best Croatian and at that time best European basketball player Dražen Petrović, he died in a car accident in 1993, he was just 29 years old. I was 13 at the time and so many kids played basketball and we all looked up to him and wanted to be as successful as Dražen. I can still remember the morning I found out he had died. My childhood was basketball and Dražen it's hard to explain but I never got over his death... 😔

29 is so young! Athletes can certainly hold a connection to us as well. Thanks for sharing :)

Yes he was in his prime time and he also was genuinely nice guy!! I feel always sad when I hear that someone that I know(movie/show/sport) has died. Especially when thay die young...
