Gravitas: Comedian takes a dig at Matthew Perry’s death, calls it ‘funny’

<p>Matthew Perry's former fiancee Molly Hurwitz has penned a tribute to the late actor reflecting upon his brilliance and the profound impact he had on her. Perry was engaged to Hurwitz from November 2020 to June 2021. The actor dated the literary manager for two years prior to that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Sometimes things just don’t work out and this is one of them,” the actor had said when the two had parted ways in 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Days after Perry’s death at 54, Hurwitz shared a photo on Instagram of the actor looking out onto a frozen Rideau Canal in Ottawa. Perry lived in Ottawa for a time during his childhood, with his Canadian mother Suzanne Perry, who worked as a press secretary for then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau.<br />
<br />
“He would love that the world is talking about how talented he was,” Hurwitz began her post. “And he really was very talented.”</p>

<p>Hurwitz recalled how she and Perry did a rewatch of Friends in the run-up to the show’s reunion special that aired in 2021 which he was a part of. &nbsp;Perry won an Emmy in 2002 for his work as Chandler Bing on the series.<br />
<br />
“As the Friends reunion was approaching, we rewatched the show together. ‘F–k, I was so good!!!…See what I did there???’ We rewound and studied scenes. Our respect and appreciation of humour is something that connected us,” Hurwitz wrote. “Being with him as he rediscovered his brilliance was magical.”</p>

<p>But like all relationships, not everything was perfect and Hurwitz stated that Perry was a complicated man.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“I obviously knew that man in a very different way, too,” Hurwitz said. “While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like I’d never known.”<br />
<br />
“No one in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry,” she continued. “I have tremendous gratitude for that, for everything I learned from our relationship.”<br />
<br />
Hurwitz also mentioned Al-Anon in her post, calling it “an invaluable resource for those who love someone struggling with this destructive disease." Perry had been vocal about his addiction problem for many years.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“Matty, I feel relief that you are at peace,” Hurwitz concluded her post.<br />

Matthew Perry's ex pays emotional tribute to actor: Caused pain like I’d never known

<p>The world was met with heart-wrenching news on Saturday, October 28 as it learned of the passing of Matthew Perry, a beloved actor whose portrayal of Chandler Bing on the hit TV show <em>Friends</em> left an enduring mark on the hearts of fans around the globe.&nbsp;As the news of his passing spread, an overwhelming sense of grief and loss has gripped the legions of <em>Friends</em> enthusiasts, who are now collectively mourning the loss of one of the show's iconic stars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reflecting on <em>Friends</em> and the beloved actor, former WBTV comedy boss David Janollari shared some intimate details about the casting process that brought Chandler Bing to life on screen. In a column he penned for <em>The Hollywood Reporter,</em> he expressed, "Casting the six Friends, along with creators Marta Kauffman, David Crane, and Kevin Bright, was challenging. They all had to be 'stars.' The chemistry had to be believable. You just had to love them. And no one was more elusive than Chandler."</p>

<p>With only two roles left to cast just days before production on the pilot, he recalled a pivotal moment during a CBS pilot run-through that changed the course of the show's history.

This unexpected discovery led Janollari to consider Perry for the role of Chandler.</p>

<p>Janollari vividly recounted the moment when the decision was made, saying, "Then we turned our attention back to the run-through, and like that a-ha moment in a movie that you really don't believe happens in real life, we both turned to each other with eyes wide open and said at the same time, 'Chandler!'" It was a serendipitous turning point in the casting process.</p>

<p>However, Janollari also noted that Matthew Perry hadn't initially auditioned for the role of Chandler because he was under contract for a Fox pilot at the time.

This move allowed Perry to read for Chandler, and as Janollari fondly recalled, "the rest is history. It was magic." It was indeed magic, as Perry's portrayal of Chandler Bing became an integral part of the show's success.</p>

The news of Matthew Perry's death left the world in shock over the weekend. His co-stars from the hit show Friends are reportedly devasted since the news broke. Perry was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles residence. According to a source as per Daily Mail, Perry's co-star from Friends and close pal Lisa Kudrow has been left “baffled,” by his death and is considering adopting his beloved dog Alfred. Lisa Kudrow may adopt Matthew Perry's dog “Lisa and (the) cast will all be attending his services,” the outlet has revealed. “This does not seem real or fair to her or any of the gang, because Matthew was finally at peace with himself and was having the best year of his life since his book launch almost exactly one year ago. He was enjoying life,” it added. While tributes have been pouring in from all quarters for Perry, his five co-actors from Friends are yet to react. According to a report on PageSix, the actors are 'devasted' at losing their 'brother'. "The cast is reeling from the loss of their brother because that's what Matty was - their brother. It's just devastating," a source told the outlet. Friends creators issue joint statement Friends showrunners Marta Kauffman, David Crane, and Kevin Bright, issued a joint statement on Monday which reads, “We will always cherish the joy, the light, the blinding intelligence he brought to every moment - not just to his work, but in life as well. We send all of our love to his family and friends. This truly is The One Where Our Hearts Are Broken.” Other than the main cast of the comedy show, Maggie Wheeler, who portrayed Janice on screen alongside Perry's Chandler Bing, opened up on her emotions after his sudden death. Sharing a photo of Janice and Chandler on Instagram, Wheeler wrote, “What a loss. The world will miss you, Matthew Perry. The joy you brought to so many in your too-short lifetime will live on. I feel so very blessed by every creative moment we shared.” WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community. Share your stories and opinions with us here.

Matthew Perry death: Friends cast 'devastated' with the loss of their 'brother'

<p>Late actor Matthew Perry, who had for years struggled with addiction, had planned to build a foundation for those battling substance abuse.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He had earlier founded Perry House, a men’s sober living facility which operated from the actor's Malibu home. It ran for two years before hitting financial constraints.<br />
<br />
During his life, Perry had a long struggle with addiction. He later also opened up about his subsequent journey to sobriety and was a strong advocate of helping others cope with addiction. He revealed in October 2022 that he almost died at 49 due to his increasing drug addiction, and was in a coma for two weeks, fighting for his life. This was followed by a stay in the hospital for five months, as well as a year using a colostomy bag after his colon burst due to opioid overuse.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, sources who were in touch with Perry told TMZ that he had "never been happier" before his death. The <em>Friends</em> star had only just moved into his new house three weeks ago and was enjoying his current phase in life.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sources also told the news outlet that Perry recently committed to acting in a new movie as well as other projects. He had also been coming up with ideas for scripts, and his life appeared to be optimistic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Matthew Perry was found dead in his hot tub</strong><br />
<br />
News details related to Perry's death have revealed that the actor was found underwater in his hot tub by his assistant&nbsp;who lifted up his head and tried to get him some air, first responders told the Daily Mail. By the time the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived at the actor’s house and pulled him out of the jacuzzi, he was already dead. The actor died of drowning in his hot tub at his LA home.<br />
<br />
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office stated that an autopsy has been completed but toxicology reports are pending. The status of Perry’s cause of death is now listed as "deferred" since it is "pending additional investigation." The authorities have ruled out foul play in the case.&nbsp;<br />

Hank Azaria pays emotional tribute to Matthew Perry, credits him for helping get sober: He was so caring

<p>Matthew Perry, who played the iconic role of Chandler Bing on the hit TV show <em>Friends</em>, passed away suddenly on Saturday, leaving many fans and friends in shock and mourning. However, despite initial reports suggesting that his dog would find a new home with <em>Friends </em>co-star Lisa Kudrow, it has been established that the actor did not own a dog at the time of his death.</p>

<p>Previously, Perry had been a dog dad to a doodle mix named Alfred, whom he shared with his former partner, Molly Hurwitz. The couple began dating in 2018 and got engaged in November 2020, but they called off their engagement in June 2021. Since their separation, Alfred has been a regular presence on Hurwitz's Instagram.</p>

<p>In a touching Instagram post in September, Hurwitz described Alfred as "annoying at times but truly the most loving potato." She credited him with helping her during a challenging period of depression, highlighting the emotional support that dogs can provide. This goes on to show that Alfred has been and will remain with&nbsp;Hurwitz unless she decides to put him up for adoption, which doesn't seem to be the case currently.</p>

<p>Lisa Kudrow, along with her fellow Friends cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE about Perry's passing. They described themselves as more than just cast mates, emphasising their strong bond as a family. They expressed their devastation at the loss of Matthew Perry and asked for privacy as they grieve and process this "unfathomable loss".</p>

Matthew Perry, who played the iconic role of Chandler Bing on the hit TV show Friends, passed away suddenly on Saturday, leaving many fans and friends in shock and mourning.

Matthew Perry, who played the iconic role of Chandler Bing on the hit TV show Friends, passed away suddenly on Saturday, leaving many fans and friends in shock and mourning. However, despite initial reports suggesting that his dog would find a new home with Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow, it has been established that the actor did not own a dog at the time of his death. Previously, Perry had been a dog dad to a doodle mix named Alfred, whom he shared with his former partner, Molly Hurwitz. The couple began dating in 2018 and got engaged in November 2020, but they called off their engagement in June 2021. Since their separation, Alfred has been a regular presence on Hurwitz's Instagram. In a touching Instagram post in September, Hurwitz described Alfred as "annoying at times but truly the most loving potato." She credited him with helping her during a challenging period of depression, highlighting the emotional support that dogs can provide. This goes on to show that Alfred has been and will remain with Hurwitz unless she decides to put him up for adoption, which doesn't seem to be the case currently. Lisa Kudrow, along with her fellow Friends cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE about Perry's passing. They described themselves as more than just cast mates, emphasising their strong bond as a family. They expressed their devastation at the loss of Matthew Perry and asked for privacy as they grieve and process this "unfathomable loss".

Matthew Perry's memoir becomes no 1 on Amazon's bestseller list

<p>They don’t make them like him anymore! We are referring to late actor Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing of <em>Friends.</em> The <em>Friends</em> actor bid goodbye in the most sudden manner when the world woke up to the news of his death. He died of drowning in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. The 54-year-old actor is fondly remembered by cast members and fans all over the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the world mourns his death, streamer Max which houses all <em>Friends</em> seasons, has announced that a tribute honouring the actor will play before every season. “In memory of Matthew Perry 1969-2023,” reads the card, which flashes on screen for approximately five seconds before the iconic <em>Friend</em>s opening sequence. You can stream all 10 seasons of <em>Friends</em> on Max.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/friends-cast-say-utterly-devastated-in-first-public-reaction-since-matthew-perrys-death-653242">‘Friends’ cast say ‘utterly devastated’ in first public reaction since Matthew Perry’s death</a></p>

<p>Soon after the news of Matthew Perry’s death came out, <em>Friends</em> co-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane and executive producer Kevin Bright shared their tribute and said, “We are shocked and deeply, deeply saddened by our beloved friend Matthew’s passing. It still seems impossible. All we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives. He was a brilliant talent. It’s a cliche to say that an actor makes a role their own, but in Matthew’s case, there are no truer words. From the day we first heard him embody the role of Chandler Bing, there was no one else for us. We will always cherish the joy, the light, the blinding intelligence he brought to every moment – not just to his work, but in life as well. He was always the funniest person in the room. More than that, he was the sweetest, with a giving and selfless heart.”</p>

Matthew Perry tribute to play before every season of Friends on Max

<p>Matthew Perry was always their friend, too.</p>

<p>That was the feeling among fans of the American actor, known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom <em>Friends</em>,&nbsp;as they gathered Sunday outside the New York apartment building used in the show's filming.</p>

<p>"I grew up watching him," said Taylor Lanthier, 26, who was among those making the pilgrimage, where many left flowers and handwritten letters in Perry's memory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 54-year-old was found dead Saturday -- too soon for many fans, in a testament to the staying power of <em>Friends,&nbsp;</em>which aired from 1994-2004 and continues to live on for viewers across generations in reruns and on streaming services.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The light rain wasn't enough to keep visitors from paying their respects on the instantly recognizable street corner in the trendy West Village neighbourhood where the six-story building sits, adorned in classic New York style with a brick facade and metal fire escapes.<img alt="dwesdc" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31275ba2-9fc2-4777-911c-691f939dd17a" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202023-10-30T104017.335.png" /></p>

<p>"I'm sure you could find stories of people who move to New York because of the show <em>Friends</em>," said Chris Triebel, 39, who leads tours focusing on TV shows and movies filmed in the city.</p>

<p>And part of that would be due to Perry's Chandler, himself a sarcastic 20-something who long resisted growing up.</p>

<p>"Chandler is a funny guy. He's a loving guy. He's someone who's very dedicated to his friends," she added. "And that's what I think Matthew was as well."</p>

Remembering Matthew Perry: Fans flock to pay homage to Friends star in New York

To our beloved Chandler Bing! Matthew Perry's life in pictures

<p>Matthew Perry's sudden death on Saturday has left everyone in shock. Perry, best known for playing the iconic Chandler Bing in <em>Friends,</em> was found dead in a hot tub at his home on Saturday. Initial investigations have stated that the actor was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of his death. However, law enforcement sources have now disclosed that multiple prescription drugs were discovered in Perry's residence.<br />
<br />
No illegal drugs were found on the premises, according to the authorities. The drugs uncovered include anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, and a COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) drug.<br />
<br />
COPD is a pulmonary condition that leads to breathing-related issues. It is often linked to smoking, which Perry had admitted to throughout his life.<br />
<br />
On the day of his tragic death, Perry was reportedly playing pickleball at the Rivera County Club near his Pacific Palisades home for two hours. He returned home, requesting his assistant to pick up a new iPhone and prescription glasses. Two hours later, the assistant discovered the star unresponsive in his jacuzzi and called 911.</p>

<p><strong>Matthew Perry and his struggle with addiction</strong><br />
<br />
Matthew Perry had been candid about his struggles with drug addiction almost throughout his career. In a 2002 interview with the New York Times, he revealed his fear of dying due to addiction, saying, "I didn't get sober because I felt like it. I got sober because I was worried I was going to die the next day."<br />
<br />
His battles with addiction, including a dependence on Vicodin, were well-documented. The actor got addicted to the drug soon after a jet skiing accident in 1997 and went to rehab three times in a span of a few years.&nbsp;</p>

Thanks for all the laughs: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau mourns school buddy Matthew Perry's death

<p><strong>Matthew Perry (1969-2023):&nbsp;</strong>Life can be ironic at most times. A man who made millions the world over laugh with his character in an iconic show had one of the most tragic lives in real life. Matthew Perry-,an actor who made Chandler Bing from<em> Friends</em> one of the most iconic characters on television the world over, is dead. Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home on Saturday. According to an initial investigation, the actor reportedly died of drowning in&nbsp;a hot tub at his LA home. The police have ruled out any kind of foul play. He was 54.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the early 1990s, Perry was already a well-known face on TV when Marta Kauffman and David Crane approached him to play the part of Chandler Bing in <em>Friends</em>. Many reports say he was the only actor who had not auditioned for the role and also was the youngest at 24 to be cast as the sarcastic, insecure Chandler Bing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Friends and Matthew Perry's initial years of stardom</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Friends </em>famously&nbsp;made all six of its lead actors- Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt le Blanc, Lisa Kudrow and Perry - overnight superstars of television and their popularity was not only limited to America but spread worldwide. <em>Friends</em> ran for a successful 10 season and in 2004 when the show finally aired its final season, it led to mass depression,&nbsp;as fans worldwide bid tearful farewell to their beloved friends on TV.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<img alt="Perry" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5d2a0183-55a3-4c43-8a87-6f0639dee9a8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202023-10-29T113600.814.png" /><br />
<br />
<em>Friends </em>captured the imagination of the audience like no other show ever did. The six actors made their characters iconic. Perry played Chandler Bing with so much perfection that it felt like an extension of his real self. There were similarities. Perry was a stand-up comedian, known for his sarcastic repartees off-screen much like Chandler's one-liners on screen. Much like his character Chandler, Perry too came from a broken home and stemmed into years of mental health issues.</p>

<p><strong>The troubled years of addiction</strong><br />
<br />
In his memoir <em>Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir</em> released in 2022, he admitted that despite earning huge popularity for Friends, he could not bring himself to watch the hit sitcom because it reminded him of the tough times he went through due to his addiction problem.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I didn’t watch the show, and haven’t watched the show, because I could go, drinking, opiates, drinking, cocaine,” he later added.&nbsp;“I could tell season by season by how I looked. That’s why I don’t wanna watch it, because that’s what I see.”</p>

<p>Perry got first addicted to Vicodin after a jet-ski accident in 1997 and completed a 28-day rehab programme that year. Avid viewers of<em> Friends </em>would recall his weight fluctuated throughout the running of the show. Many also cite Perry's hard-partying days as one of the reasons for his addiction.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
His weight dropped to 145 pounds (66 kg) due to pancreatitis in the later years. He entered rehab in February 2001 for an addiction to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and alcohol. Perry later estimated he had spent $9 million to get sober.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<img alt="dsfdf" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="87f9b990-d89f-403f-a24b-772b08022baf" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202023-10-29T113832.411_0.png" /><br />
<br />
He had even admitted that due to his addiction problem, he could not remember three years of the time he was acting on <em>Friends</em>, between seasons three and six.</p>

<p><strong>Rehab, mental illness and more</strong><br />
<br />
Perry also recalls how fame and stardom due to <em>Friends </em>made him lonely. "I was in the white-hot flame of fame. The six of us were just everywhere all the time. From an outsider's perspective, it would seem like I had it all. It was actually a very lonely time for me because I was suffering from alcoholism. It was going on before Friends, but it's a progressive disease. I wasn't a massive party guy. I wasn't a bull-in-a-china-shop kind of drinker," the actor had recalled in the later years.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Amid visits to the rehab - first in 1997 and 2001- Perry dabbled a full-fledged, successful acting career. Friends was under production and at its peak - in terms of popularity and Perry also featured in several feature films.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<img alt="sjdnajsd" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31ee7341-d3f9-458c-bef4-09f5b2e01d0e" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202023-10-29T113625.577.png" /><br />
<br />
In between his first and second trips to rehab, Perry ended up in hospital for two weeks with acute pancreatitis and lost 20 pounds. The condition is reportedly caused by both alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/friends-star-matthew-perry-reportedly-dead-at-54-heres-a-look-at-his-movies-tv-shows-652491">Friends star Matthew Perry reportedly dead at 54: Here's a look at his movies, TV shows</a><br />
<br />
Soon after being released from hospital, Perry crashed his Porsche into an empty house. The actor was not under the influence of alcohol and drugs. "I made the first corner around my house on these really narrow streets, saw a courier van in the middle, swerved to the right and — well, I don't really know what happened — I crashed into this porch."</p>

<p>Perry subsequently checked into rehab again in 2011 and in later years spoke openly about his addiction, in an attempt to help others suffering like him. He even turned his Malibu home into a rehab facility for those who wanted to get sober. He eventually had to sell the property due to financial issues.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Perry told People in 2013 that his struggles were hard to mask. "I couldn't stop. Eventually, things got so bad that I couldn't hide it, and then everybody knew." He said he never used drugs or abused alcohol while on set. "I was never high at work," he said. "I was painfully hungover."<br />
<br />
Addiction also posed a threat to his love life. Perry had been in a relationship with Yasmine Bleeth in 1995, Julia Roberts from 1995 to 1996, and Lizzy Caplan from 2006 to 2012. In November 2020, Perry became engaged to literary manager Molly Hurwitz. The couple ended their engagement in 2021. While it was never openly discussed as to what led to the fallout with each of his girlfriends, but rumours were rife that his near and dear ones cited that addiction led to cracks in each of his relationships.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Years after <em>Friends</em></strong><br />
<br />
Post <em>Friends, </em>Perry's career never witnessed the same high as it had when he was working on the show. Sure, he was part of several shows like <em>Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,</em> <em>The Odd Couple </em>and films like <em>The Triumph</em> (he earned The Golden Globes and Emmy nominations for this one), <em>Birds of America </em>and <em>17 Again</em> but none fetched him that stardom that he had once seen during <em>Friends.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
When the much-acclaimed <em>Friends </em>reunion happened in 2021, Matthew looked a far cry from the exuberant charming Chandler he had played on-screen years back. Instead, the actor struggled to speak coherently - due to an emergency dental surgery a few days prior to the filming of the show - and appeared more pensive than his other co-stars on the show. He even spoke about battling depression during the filming of a hit sitcom - a fact that many of his co-actors did not know until the reunion.<br />
<br />
<img alt="snfwsac" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8c2d3404-7f6b-4866-960d-9b626d5c4df5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202023-10-29T102704.359.png" />&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In his memoir, Matthew admitted that while everyone was "sobbing" over the final episode of <em>Friends</em> in 2004, he was "numb" and felt "nothing." &nbsp;The irony is not lost on anyone. The man who made millions fall for his character made sarcasm fashionable, and made everyone laugh with his one-liners- was a lonely man fighting too many demons to really smile through the struggles of life.&nbsp;<br />

Friends actor Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing, found dead

Matthew Perry, who gained immense fame for his role as Chandler Bing in the series 'Friends' was found dead in his Los Angeles home.

'FRIENDS' star Matthew Perry dead at the age 54

<p>Matthew Perry turns 54 on Saturday, August 19, marking another chapter in his life's remarkable journey. The acclaimed actor, celebrated for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the beloved sitcom <em>Friends</em>, continues to win hearts and minds. As we commemorate this special day, it's an opportunity to look back on his memoir, released last year titled,<em> Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing</em>. Last year, Perry gifted readers with an intimate glimpse into his life through his memoir. The pages of this revelatory work offer a poignant narrative of his struggles and triumphs, revealing a side of the actor that transcends the silver screen. Beyond the fame and laughter associated with his iconic role, Perry's memoir delves into the complexities of his personal battles.</p>

<h2><strong>A troubled path</strong></h2>

<p>Perry has never shied away from discussing his struggles with addiction, but his memoir delved deeper into his darkest moments. From his first drink at the age of 14 to his consistent alcohol use by the time he turned 18, his journey through substance abuse is a tale of both despair and resilience.</p>

<p>After the success of the second season of <em>Friends</em>, Perry's life took a dramatic turn when he travelled to Las Vegas to film <em>When Fools Rush In</em>. A jet ski accident during filming led to his prescription of Vicodin, which became the catalyst for a crippling addiction to pills. Perry confessed in his memoir that he reached a shocking low point, consuming a staggering 55 pills a day. To get the pills, he engaged in elaborate schemes, including faking migraines and undergoing MRIs with multiple doctors. He even resorted to searching the medicine cabinets of strangers' homes during open houses to feed his addiction.</p>

<h2><strong>Facing death and seeking redemption</strong></h2>

<p>Perry's story took a harrowing turn in 2018 when his colon ruptured, plunging him into a coma for two weeks. With a mere 2 per cent chance of survival, he battled for his life. The actor endured multiple surgeries and lived with a colostomy bag for nine months as he fought to recover. His resilience and determination shone through in his memoir as he detailed the extent of his journey, which included attending over 6,000 AA meetings, undergoing 15 rehab stints, and enduring detox 65 times.</p>

<p>The toll on his physical and emotional well-being was immense, accompanied by financial strain. Perry shared that he spent between $7 million and $9 million in his quest for sobriety, undergoing 14 surgeries, with the most recent in January 2022, leaving him with a significant scar.</p>

<h2>A lifelong struggle</h2>

<p>Even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, his battle with addiction persisted. He found himself in a rehab center in Switzerland, where he manipulated his way to receive 1,800mg&nbsp;of Oxycontin daily. A surgical procedure during his time in Switzerland nearly ended his life, with Perry waking up 11 hours later after his heart stopped for five minutes due to the effects of propofol. Despite his near-death experience, his determination to feed his addiction drove him to take a private jet back to Switzerland when he was denied the medication he sought in Los Angeles.</p>

<h2>Friends and financial confessions</h2>

<p>Perry's memoir not only chronicles his struggles but also offers a glimpse into his time on the set of Friends. He openly discussed the financial dynamics of the show, revealing that he, along with his co-stars, negotiated collectively to secure higher pay as the series gained immense popularity. He acknowledges David Schwimmer's role in these negotiations and expresses gratitude for the support that enabled them to earn over a million dollars per episode.</p>

Matthew Perry turns 54: Friends star's triumphs, struggles, and redemption

<p><em>Friends</em> actor Matthew Perry has thought long and hard about culling out negativity from his life and especially from his memoir where he misdirected a statement at Keanu Reeves. His memoir titled "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing" mentions the&nbsp;<em>John Wick</em> actor Keanu Reeves as Matthew wrote about drug addiction and the people we have lost from the industry because of this. In this context, the<em> Friends</em> actor had said that while other actors have died of drug addiction, Keanu Reeves “still walks among us”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Calling it a “stupid thing”, Matthew Perry apologised for the same and said, “I said a stupid thing. It was a mean thing to do” and added that Keanu’s name will not make it to any future editions of the book. In October 2022, days before his memoir was hit shelves, Matthew released a statement and said, “I’m actually a big fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologise. I should have used my own name instead.”</p>

<p>In the book, Matthew referenced about his own struggles with addiction and alcoholism and expressed that other actors, like his former co-stars River Phoenix and Chris Farley, have died due to addiction, while Keanu Reeves “still walks among us.” He wrote, “It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?”</p>

<p>Acknowledging his mistake, Matthew said, “I pulled his name because I live on the same street. … I’ve apologised publicly to him. Any future versions of the book will not have his name in it.” He added that he hasn’t apologised to him personally but he would if he ever “ran into the guy”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’ve been in therapy since I was 18 years old. I wanted to make sure that this wasn’t the kind of book where I blame people for the things they did wrong. You have to give them credit for the things they did right,” he said, explaining his intention behind writing what he did.</p>

Matthew Perry regrets making that controversial Keanu Reeves remark in memoir

<p>British actress and model Elizabeth Hurley recently came forward to talk about her 'Serving Sara' co-star Matthew Perry and how his addiction affected the shoot of the 2002 film. After the publication of Perry's memoir 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing', which is filled with anecdotes about his personal and professional life, the 57-year-old diva is the most recent A-lister to talk about the 'Friends' star's battle with substance abuse.</p>

<p>First, she revealed that she&nbsp;has partially read Perry's memoir and is yet to finish the book.&nbsp;She also complimented Perry for being a great writer and comedian. "I haven't actually read the book yet, but I've read [excerpts] of it," Hurley told Yahoo. "It's quite interesting," she added. "He's a very funny writer like he's a very funny man. He's an incredibly gifted comedian ... his way with words is fantastic."</p>

<p>Hurley also spoke about the temporary shutdown of the 2002 film,&nbsp;in which Perry played&nbsp;a process server tasked with delivering divorce papers to Hurley's character.&nbsp;"I have very fond memories of him. To be honest, it was a nightmare working with him at that time and, as it's now known, our movie was shut down because of his addiction," the actress said.</p>

<p>"We were in a force majeure and had to all sit at home twiddling our thumbs for some time," Hurley continued. "It was tough, obviously he was having a tough time, but he was still very charming and a lovely person to work with. But you could see he was suffering for sure."</p>
