Salma Hayek is reflecting on her special bond with her former co-star Matthew Perry .

Perry was found dead Saturday at 54 from an apparent drowning in his jacuzzi. He was best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends , but he also starred opposite Hayek in Fools Rush In (1997) as strangers who unexpectedly conceive a child in Las Vegas.

Hayek shared a nostalgic Instagram photo Monday that appears to have been taken during production of the film. The reflective carousel also included a screenshot of an old Instagram story from Perry in which stated that Fools Rush In was probably my best movie.

I woke up to the shocking news that Matthew Perry is no longer with us, wrote Hayek . Its 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.

She continued, 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 the film we did together was probably his best movie.

Perry had already wrapped three seasons of Friends as one of its most popular cast members when Fools Rush In hit theaters. The late actor reflected on its production in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing with fond memories of Hayek.

He recounted in the book that Hayek had some fun strategies to tap into real feelings and to be more of a leading man than a funny sitcom actor for the film and came into my trailer at the start of the shoot and said, Lets just spoon a little bit.

Perry continued: I did my best Chandler impression the double-take-and-sardonic-stare thing and said, Oh, OK! Lets just spoon a little bit!
