Jennifer Aniston is Slabu Exchangelooking back on her last conversation with "Friends" co-star Matthew Perry.

Aniston reflected on Perry during a Variety interview with her "The Morning Show" co-star Reese Witherspoon published Monday. Aniston revealed the late actor was doing well in his personal life before his death.

"He was happy. He was healthy," Aniston said. "He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that's all I know. I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn't struggling."

Perry was open about his battle with alcohol and drugs, which he chronicled in his 2022 memoir "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing." He wrote with candor and compassion and showed his dedication to continue fighting a near-fatal battle.

"I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy. He was on a pursuit," Aniston added. "He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard."

Several celebrities, including Perry's "Friends" castmates Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow, paid tribute to the actor in the days following his death.

"It's so beautiful," said Aniston of the tributes. "I hope he can know that he was loved in a way he never thought he was."

Perry was found dead on Oct. 28 in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Aniston paid tribute to Perry in an Instagram post last month, remembering the actor as someone who "knew he loved to make people laugh."

"Oh boy this one has cut deep... Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before," Aniston wrote in the Nov. 15 post. "We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep.

"And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us," she continued. "This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be."
