Among the many touching tributes to Matthew Perry after his apparent death by drowning is a special message from Salma Hayek, who co-starred with Perry in 1997’s Fools Rush In. The movie, about a one night stand that results in pregnancy, wasn’t a smash hit, but the pair had excellent chemistry and, judging from Hayek’s post, a great deal of affection for one another.
On Monday, October 30, Hayek wrote on Instagram, “Two days ago, I woke up to the shocking news that Matthew Perry is no longer with us. It’s taken me a couple of days to process this profound sadness. There is a special bond that happens when you share dreams with someone, and together you work towards them. 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.”
“Throughout the years, he and I found ourselves reminiscing about that meaningful time in our lives with a deep sense of nostalgia and gratitude,” Hayek continued. “My friend, you are gone much too soon, but I will continue to cherish your silliness, your perseverance, and your lovely heart. Farewell, sweet Matthew, we will never forget you.”
