The late 'Friends' actor, who died unexpectedly on Saturday, stepped out with a pal at The Apple Pan in Los Angeles on Oct. 21

Just one week before his sudden death, Matthew Perry enjoyed an outing with a friend at a popular Los Angeles diner.

The 54-year-old actor — who died Saturday in an apparent drowning — was photographed in public for the last time on Oct. 21 at The Apple Pan, which he left with a beverage in hand. Perry wore dark pants and a gray T-shirt, while his dining companion carried a takeout bag.

“He was a good guy, very nice,” a restaurant source tells PEOPLE of a previous visit the Friends star made to The Apple Pan, which is popular among celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio.

Adds the source of Perry’s low-key demeanor: “It was a busy day, but people weren’t really looking at him.”

Perry shared a final post to Instagram on Monday that featured him in a hot tub at night with the caption, “Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I’m Mattman.”

"Mattman" is a name he'd used in recent days while posting on social media, often including references and imagery related to Batman.

“He was having fun,” a source told PEOPLE of his “Mattman” posts, which stemmed from an idea Perry had been working on for a series.

The insider said Perry had also just signed on to act in a new drama film, Unworthy, which was on hold due to the strike, and had recently moved into his new home after renovating it.

“He was incredibly happy,” the source added.
