Matthew Perry once confessed he’d give up all his fame and money in an instant to cure the substance addiction he’d battled since he was 14.
“The fact that I would trade it all to not have this disease is true,” said the star, who spent more than $15.3 million trying to get clean over the years – including 15 trips to rehab, 6000 visits to AA and even a stint on life support.
In fact, while it’s the comfort food of TV for so many people, heartbreakingly, Matthew admitted he could never bring himself to watch Friends – the sitcom that made him world famous and saw him banking $1.71 million an episode by 2002.
“I didn’t watch the show and haven’t watched the show because I could go, ‘Drinking, opiates, drinking, cocaine,’” Matthew said in 2022, adding that his weight gives it away. “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.”
