Some details about Matthew Perry.
He came from an affluent Canadian family, his father an actor, step father a news broadcaster, and his mother was press secretary to Justin Trudeau’s father, former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
He had been an alcoholic from the age of 14.
When he acted on Friends, he was involved in an accident during season 3, and that’s where he was prescribed pain medications. He became addicted to those and other drugs, such as cocaine.
His addictions were so bad that he didn’t remember any of his time acting on Friends beyond the third season, and he found it difficult to watch the show because he could point out what drug he was on.
Between 2001 and 2021 he quit and relapsed between 60 and 70 times.
In April 2018, he was rushed to hospital due to the long term effects of opiates, which caused his bowels to burst. He came very close to death.
Later, he was cast to play in the film Don’t Look Up, but couldn’t perform the role due to another incident where he’d been taking large amounts of hydrocodone, and then he had a surgery, the anesthetic caused his heart to stop for 5 minutes, and the resuscitation broke 8 ribs.
By the release of his book, which released 1 year ago tomorrow (November 1st), he’d been sober for about 18 months.
He had just moved into his current home about three weeks ago.

Honestly i dont understand the reason for this post. Or for the 3 likes on it. WTF...

You're seriously going to troll in a thread about Matthew Perry's passing? On a post discussing details about his life and struggles?

EDIT: And no, I'm not taking any further bait from this guy. Not the place, not the time for that kind of BS.
