Matthew Perry’s recent passing has left a void in the entertainment world, with global mourning and his close friends deeply affected. The 54-year-old actor, renowned for his role as Chandler Bing in “Friends,” passed away on October 28, and the cause of death is under investigation.
Perry was candid about his battles with addiction and alcoholism but had been working towards a healthier life. He aspired to be remembered for helping others combat addiction, not just his acting.
Now onto the filming of Season 4, the Emmy-nominated drama follows rival news anchors Alex (Aniston) and Bradley (Reese Witherspoon, 48) through the cutthroat and chaotic world of morning TV. Both Witherspoon and Aniston earned Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series Emmy nominations this year. The ceremony will take place September 15. Although “The Morning Show” has a prestige TV polish and has received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, it’s had some oddball plot turns. For instance, last season sent Bradley to space and also had a plotline involving her being at the US capitol during the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Aniston also had a steamy sex scene with Jon Hamm.
“It’s almost impossible to keep up with it. But I’m constantly updated that so-and-so got rescued. So all I keep thinking is, if just one gets out, that’s all I care about.” Her passion for animal welfare has taken on a new dimension with her latest project. The Morning Show star’s new picture book, illustrated by Bruno Jacob and inspired by one of her beloved rescue dogs, Clyde, aims to motivate children to step away from their screens and rediscover the joys of the world around them.
“Kids are so focused on these phones, disappearing into this void of scrolling,” she said. “They don’t really spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they want to do.” Clydeo, an animated pup first introduced on Jennifer’s Instagram account in 2021, has since become the star of a four-book children’s series. “When they came to me with the idea, it was like, ‘Obviously, I’ll make it about something that I fully love and adore, which is my rescue animals,’” she shared, brimming with enthusiasm.
But Jennifer’s love for her furry companions extends far beyond storybooks. The actress is determined to make a real impact with The Clydeo Fund, a charitable initiative designed to support shelters and animal rescue organizations around the world. “I wanted to create a fund where we can donate to these animals globally and inspire people to just throw in a dollar. It all adds up,” Jennifer explained passionately. “We can raise awareness and help the shelters that are in desperate need.” Every single dollar donated to The Clydeo Fund goes towards rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for animals. And Jennifer’s commitment is unwavering.
