Matthew Perry needs no introduction. The actor became a household name and had been basking in the love of billions ever since his sitcom Friends, co-featuring David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc, premiered in 1994.
In Friends, Perry played the role of Chandler, a grown up man who used his humour and sarcasm as a defence mechanism to deal with the rollercoaster that his life had been. In real life too, Perry was a lot like that.
For a major chunk of his life, Perry struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, and his tryst with it had begun when he had just landed Friends. The actor admitted that at one point that addiction got so worse that he does not have any memory of filming three years of the show.
After a 10 year long battle with addiction and several rehabs and relapses, Perry finally went clean somewhere around 2010.
In his memoir, Perry had also revealed how he had “almost died” at the age of 49 after his colon burst open due to opioid overuse. He had termed surviving the gastrointestinal perforation as a “miracle”.
