Matthew Perry is a name to reckon with in the world of cinema. Perry played the character of Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends. Bing used the combination of sarcasm and humor periodically as a defense mechanism. Perry was found dead in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles. He was just 54 at the time of his passing, presumably due to drowning.

Post the saddening incident, the world broke out to mourn for him. In the growing list of mourners is Cecile Canqueteau-Landi, who is the coach of gymnastics legend Simone Biles. She paid tribute to the actor on her social media.
