When Matthew Perry was 12 years old, his mother, Suzanne Perry, got married for a second time to journalist Keith Morrison, per People. While things can get tricky with step-parents, Matthew and Morrison had a close bond with one another.
The “Dateline” correspondent watched his stepson grow into the incredible actor that he was. During a 2018 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live, ” Morrison gushed about the “Friends” star and talked about his role as Chandler Bing. “That character is Matthew,” the newsman revealed. “Yeah, and it always has been him. He’s just a talented soul, a smart guy.” The admiration wasn’t one-sided, either — in his 2020 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing,” Perry praised Morrison for the role he played in the family, per Buzzfeed. “The only thing that is annoying about Keith is that he always takes my mother’s side,” Perry wrote. “He is her protector … But my family was held together by one man, and that was Keith Morrison.”
Even when Perry faced some difficult moments in his life due to his addiction, Morrison was always by his side. After Perry suffered a colon rupture as a result of his addiction issues in 2018, the journalist told People, “We were able to be with him a lot of the time through that, which was I think good for everybody. It brings the whole family closer.” Through thick and thin, Keith Morrison and Matthew Perry clearly had a relationship like no other.
