\"MATTHEW<\/p>\n

Matthew Perry<\/strong>‘s death has put a renewed focus on the dynamic of his old costars — and one anecdote about David Schwimmer<\/strong> is resurfacing … touching on his one-for-all spirit.<\/p>\n

The Guardian<\/strong> dug up this sweet tale in Perry’s memoir<\/strong> from last year — ‘Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing’ — in which the late actor recounts how money started to change on the set of ‘Friends’ while they were filming back in the ’90s.<\/p>\n

\"Matthew<\/p>\n

In his book, MP says all the stars were making about $22,000 an episode for Season 1 — but by Season 2, Dave and Jennifer Aniston<\/strong> had begun earning a bit more … on account of their popularity on the show due to the whole Ross\/Rachel romance story line.<\/p>\n

When Season 3 rolled around, WB wanted to throw even more cash at the 2 of ’em — as they were now fan faves — but Schwimmer put his foot down on behalf of his castmates. Apparently, Dave floated the idea of them collectively bargaining together … so everyone could make the same amount of money, even if it meant a pay cut for him and Jen.<\/p>\n

Matt says that’s exactly what ultimately happened, writing … “David had certainly been in a position to go for the most money, and he didn\u2019t. I would like to think that I would have made the same move, but as a greedy 25-year-old, I\u2019m not sure I would have.”<\/p>\n

He adds, “But his decision served to make us take care of each other through what turned out to be a myriad of stressful network negotiations, and it gave us a tremendous amount of power … We had David\u2019s goodness, and his astute business sense, to thank for what we had been offered. I owe you about $30m, David.”<\/p>\n

By Season 8, MP revealed that each of the ‘Friends’ actors were making about a million bucks an episode … and he credits Schwimmer with establishing that precedent early. Apparently, they continued to hammer out salary negotiations as a group over the years.<\/p>\n

This story, which technically came out last year, is making the rounds right now … and just speaks to how close the ‘Friends’ really were on set — adding to the devastation of Perry’s sudden loss. TMZ broke the story … he was found dead<\/strong> last weekend at his L.A. home.<\/p>\n

\"Matthew<\/p>\n

As we reported … the cast attended a small, private funeral<\/strong> for Perry Friday near the Hollywood Hills — as did Perry’s family and loved ones, including his parents.<\/p>\n

Schwimmer, Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow all released a joint statement addressing Perry’s passing … saying the tragedy was “unfathomable<\/strong>” and that they were still processing it as a group. They’ve laid relatively low in the days since.<\/p>\n

\"Remembering<\/p>\n

Fans of Perry and ‘Friends’ at large are still reeling … and for good reason. His death was shocking, and remains a mystery<\/strong> at this point. An investigation is currently underway.<\/p>\n
