As Friends fans are eagerly waiting for the reunion episode to air, Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing landed himself in soup after he decided to advertise Friends-themed merchandise.

Matthew Perry was seen flaunting a black shirt with the logo of the popular sitcom. The tweet read, “Could I BE Any More Vaccinated? Get your shot and then get your shirt.”

He further shared a link to the website on his post and added that the t-shirts were available only for a limited period of time.

I'm baffled by how upset ppl are. I'm not and we lost ppl to covid in our family. I think it promotes vaccination which saves lives and helps let those around us know we're vaccinated not anti mask when we're ready to go maskless. All good messages.

People should understand he is trying to use the fandom of friends ,the amount of love people give to these artists to get them vaccinated, so what if he makes some money out of it? would it kill to atleast get vaccinated and we don't ramble about other third party merchandise.
