After his passing, Perry’s Fools Rush In costar Salma Hayek noted it took a “couple of days to process this profound sadness.”
“There’s a special bond that happens if you share dreams with someone, and together you’re employed towards them,” she wrote in an Oct. 30 Instagram post. “I used to be very moved last 12 months when Matthew shared on his Instagram stories how much he loved ‘Fools Rush In,’ and the way he thought that that film we did together was probably his best movie.”
“Throughout the years, he and I discovered ourselves reminiscing about that meaningful time in our lives with a deep sense of nostalgia and gratitude,” she continued. “My friend, you’re gone much too soon, but I’ll proceed to cherish your silliness, your perseverance, and your lovely heart. Farewell, sweet Matthew, we’ll always remember you.”
