The one with the tiny T-shirt: Matthew Perry releases Friends merchandis­e

- Priya Elan

Matthew Perry has unveiled a Chandler Bing inspired merchandis­e collection ahead of the Friends reunion show on HBO Max.

The eight-piece collection – which includes T-shirts, sweatshirt­s and items for infants and pets – will be available for just three weeks.

The range includes two references to Bing’s love of taking baths (“Could I have had a long day?” says one T-shirt which features an illustrati­on of Chandler soaking in a tub) alongside one which references coronaviru­s (“Could I be any more vaccinated?”). A dog bandana features a graphic saying “Could I be any more of a dog?’ while a babygrow features the sentence “I’ll talk to you about it later”.

Other items include a white T-shirt and a black hoodie, which features a pencil drawing of Chandler next to the dictionary definition of sarcasm.

Perry posted a photo of himself to Instagram modelling a white hoodie with “Could I be more me?” written on it. In the comments, David Beckham posted: “I need one.”

The one-off, unscripted reunion thought to be entitled The One Where We Get to See Our Favourites Back Together Again, will be broadcast next Thursday (27 May). As well as Perry and the other five original cast members, the show will feature appearance­s from guest stars including Tom Selleck, who played Monica’s boyfriend Richard, and Maggie Wheeler who played Janice, Chandler’s on-off girlfriend.

The show will also feature a large number of celebrity guests including
