Sitting beside her The Morning Show co-star, Reese Witherspoon, she wiped away tears as she said: "He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that’s all I know.
"I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy."
Aniston continued: "I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy.
"He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do.
