Matthew Perry moved Jennifer Aniston to tears when he told talk show queen Oprah Winfrey how much he loved his Friends co-star.

Oprah sat down with the cast of the sitcom in the hit sit-com's CENTRAL PERK coffee shop to talk about the final episodes of the show, and Aniston warned that she'd probably cry during the chat.

Her tears finally came while Perry talked about her in glowing terms.

He said, "Jenny's a really hard worker. Jenny, while being very sweet and stuff, has had some stuff in her life that she's had to address and she just has.

"Right in front of all of our eyes we've watched Jen blossom into this beautiful woman."

Aniston mimed a "thank you", and then when she was asked to comment on her castmates, she blubbed, "I don't know if I can do it yet. Let's go on to something else."

The interview airs on American TV today (20NOV03).
