Matthew Perry’s Sister Says She Still ‘Feels, Hears’ Him: ‘Maybe Ghosts Are Real’

Nearly two years after Friends star Matthew Perry’s untimely passing, his sister Caitlin Morrison continues to feel her brother’s presence. As the world prepares to mark another year since his death, Morrison reflected on her connection with Perry, saying that she often senses him nearby and even hears his voice in everyday moments.

In a recent interview with Variety, Morrison shared, “I feel him around a lot and I can hear the things that he would say in response to the things that are going on as if he’s actually here saying them. Maybe he is. I don’t know. Who knows? Maybe ghosts are real.” She lightened the emotional moment with a humorous nod to the film Ghost, adding, “We’ll make some pottery together.”

Remembering Matthew Perry With Light

And Laughter As October 28, the date of Perry’s passing approached, Morrison admitted that the day still carries a sense of darkness but also allows her to reflect openly on her grief. “It’s just always going to be a day with a little bit of darkness on it,” she said. “But maybe that’s wrong, because on his birthday this year, I realised I was actually more OK that day than usual. Those days like October 28th don’t actually make it harder. They’re the days where it’s allowed to be really hard. They’re permission to cry publicly in an embarrassing way.”

Even amid pain, Morrison finds strength in humour something Perry was beloved for. “The defensive mechanism funny answer is he ruined Halloween for me, so thanks,” she quipped. “The serious answer is… it’s just a day with a little bit of a darkness on it.”
