Matthew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing in ‘Friends’, had a scene deleted from the show after he made a joke about airport security just weeks after the horrific attacks on September 11.
The 54-year-old actor, who was found unresponsive in his hot tub on October 28, 2023, made many fans laugh thanks to his iconic role as Chandler, but what many may not have realized, is that one of his jokes was cut from the show because it was time the bad ones with the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers.
‘Friends’ Cut Scenes of Airport Security Following 9/11

In the episode ‘Friends’, Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) are at the airport going through security when Monica lets go of every little thing, so she doesn’t set off the metal detector.
That’s when Chandler’s line comes in.
“Hey look at that, Federal Law prohibits any jokes about bombing or bombing planes,” Chandler said, reading the sign on the metal detector.
“You don’t have to worry about me ma’am, I’m worried about my bomb,” Chandler then said to the airport security guard.
A security guard is then seen entering the frame and dragging Chandler saying, “Sir, follow me.”
The issue with that scene was that the episode was scheduled to air two weeks after September 11th happened so the producers cut the scene.

Police responded to a 911 call to assist with a possible ‘water rescue’ at Matthew Perry’s Pacific Palisades home on October 28. When first responders arrived, they reportedly found the 54-year-old “Friends” actress in her hot tub, unresponsive.
Perry is believed to have drowned, but an autopsy and toxicology report will answer more questions about the exact cause of her death.

While filming the hit television show ‘Friends’, Jennifer Aniston, who portrays Rachel Green on the show, apparently approached Perry “in a weird but loving way,” confronting him about the smell of booze on his breath. However, he was not the only one who noticed that the actor smelled of alcohol during his scenes.
“I know you’ve been drinking,” he told Perry, per, of his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and Big Awful Things.”
“‘We can smell it,'” he added. But what destroyed him was “the plural, as he says, ‘we'” — which “hit me like a sledgehammer,” he says.
“‘I know I drink too much,’ I said, ‘but I don’t know what to do about it,'” he recalled telling a friend at the time.
Perry died on October 28 after she was found unresponsive in her hot tub. An autopsy and toxicology report will answer more questions about her cause of death.
