Phoebe actress Lisa broke the news by sharing a throwback photo of the pair together at an event.

She captioned the pic: "Finally!!! Yay!! Can't believe my MY EYES Welcome to Instagram @mattperry4 #friends4life"

The famous quote is from the episode The One Where Everybody Finds Out where Phoebe and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) check out Ross' (David Schwimmer) new apartment.

But while they look around, they catch a glimpse of Chandler - played by Matthew - and Monica (Courteney Cox) having sex in the building opposite.

Jennifer offered her support on the post with a Chandler joke, commenting: "Yay Matty! Could you TAKE any longer?"

Courteney commented: "Yes Matty!!"

Despite having no posts, Matthew has already gained 1.7million followers.

Another wrote: ";Chandler bing??? OH MY GOD."

Last month HBO Max, the station that would air the special, revealed that the project is "still a maybe".

Chief content officer Kevin Reilly said: "There's interest all the way around, and yet we can't seem to quite get that interest all aligned to push the button on it.

"So today, unfortunately, it's still a maybe," he added.
