A Matthew Perry tribute has been created by Britain’s Got Talent artist Nathan Wyburn.

The Friends actor’s smiling face has been made out of hundreds of tiny photos of the late star.

They include snaps of him with his fellow cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer from the sitcom.

There are also photos of scenes of Friends included in the montage.

Talented Nathan, 33 - who appeared on BGT in 2011 - spent four hours making it.

He did it after being bombarded with requests from Friends fans following Perry’s death, aged 54, on Saturday (28 Oct).

Nathan called the art ‘The one where we all lost a Friend’.

He told Jam Press: “I did it on Monday after I received tons of personal messages from followers of my work, asking if I’d create a tribute to him.

“People are familiar with my previous tributes so they reached out to me.”

He added: “The artwork took four hours to create and contains images of Perry throughout his whole career on stage and screen, at awards, his book cover.”

Nathan - who has also appeared on other TV shows including This Morning and 8 Out of 10 Cats - reached the semi-finals of BGT 12 years ago.

He made judge Simon Cowell out of Marmite and Alesha Dixon out of biscuits.

“I make art using everyday items including coffee, make-up, newspapers, food stuffs, glitter etc,” he said.

He has also made art for King Charles, Prince William and Kate, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Gareth Bale.

Fan Rachel Heyworth said: “I was wondering if you would do something, it's beautiful.”

Samantha Lindsay gushed: “If he were still alive he would be so proud of this.”

Karen Miller added: “This was such a tragedy, but you've lifted us up with your incredible portrait of Matthew.

“Absolutely amazing. I hope his friends and family get a chance to see it.”

Perry was found dead in his hot tub at his Los Angeles mansion.

He played Chandler Bing in Friends from 1994 to 2004.
