Friends actor Matthew Perry revealed the heart-wrenching reason he never watched the show. The sitcom star tragically passed away on Saturday, 28 October, at the age of 54, just months after he courageously opened up about his 'troubled' life in a tell-all memoir.
In the book, he candidly discussed his battle with drugs and alcohol addiction, which included 15 trips to rehab and spending $9million on trying to get clean. When asked why he had never watched the popular show Friends, which catapulted him to stardom, he explained that it would remind him of his addiction issues.
He said, "I didn't watch the show, and haven't watched the show, because I could go, 'Drinking, opiates, drinking, cocaine.'" "I could tell season by season, by how I looked.
That's why I don't want to watch it because that's what I see." TMZ reported that first responders were called to his home after reports of a cardiac arrest.
The star was found dead in his jacuzzi after an apparent drowning accident, with the outlet reporting that no drugs were found at the scene. In his memoir Friends, Lovers, And The Big Terrible Thing, released in November last year, Matthew discussed previous brushes with death caused by his substance abuse.
In 2018, his loved ones were told he had just a two percent chance of survival after his colon burst due to opioid use.
The actor was in a coma for two weeks and had a colostomy bag fitted, which he had to use for the next nine months. Two years later, the star had another near miss when he nearly lost his life during a stay at a rehab facility in Switzerland, due to his drug addiction.
