Matthew Perry has become the last of the Friends stars to Instagram.

The actor, who played Chandler Bing in the hit US sitcom, was introduced by his former co-star Lisa Kudrow on the social media platform.

Kudrow shared a throwback picture of herself with Perry, along with the caption: “Finally!!! Yay!! Can’t believe my eyes MY EYES.

“Welcome to Instagram @mattyperry4 #friendsforlife.”

Perry has not yet posted any pictures but has a profile image of himself lying down with a smiley face balloon.

His arrival on Instagram came after he teased fans on Wednesday with a cryptic tweet, which many believed was about the highly-rumoured Friends reunion.

Perry, 50, tweeted: “Big news coming…”

There has been increased speculation about a revival of the hit sitcom – which starred Perry, Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer as a group of six friends living in New York – following its 25th anniversary last year.

The rumour mill went into overdrive once again when Aniston joined Instagram in October while sharing a picture of herself with her former co-stars.

However, Schwimmer recently said that he does not want to resurrect the characters, telling the Guardian: “I just don’t think it’s possible, given everyone’s different career trajectories.

“I think everyone feels the same – why mess with what felt like the right way to end the series?”

Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman also recently admitted that she does not know if the show’s long-rumoured reunion will ever happen.

She told the PA news agency in January: “I don’t know. That is the honest answer, I don’t know.

“People are talking about it, but I don’t know if it’s actually going to happen.”
