Matthew Perry’s mom, Suzanne Morrison, is speaking out almost a year since the “Friends” star’s death.
In an intimate interview with Today's Savannah Guthrie, Morrison recounted the tender moments she had with her son before his death.
“He went through a period, interestingly enough, just before he died when he was showing me one of his new houses,” she said. “He came up to me and he said, ‘I love you so much, and I’m so happy to be with you now. And I’m so...’ It was almost as though it was a premonition or something. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I thought, ‘How long has it been since we’ve had a conversation like that?’ It’s been years.”
Perry was the only child of Morrison and ex-husband John Bennett Perry. After their divorce, Morrison married “Dateline” correspondent Keith Morrison, and they had four children together. John Bennett Perry also remarried and had one child with his second wife.
Reflecting on her last days with the actor, Suzanne Morrison said “there was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him, and he felt it very strongly.”
