Inside Matthew Perry's Tragic Real Life Story

Matthew Perry will forever be remembered as the hilarious and sarcastic Chandler Bing, whom he played for 10 years on the legendary ‘90s sitcom, Friends. The actor’s time on the show also afforded him a budding film career in the 2000s, and plenty of other small-screen gigs. Basically, the guy seemingly had it all: job security, fame, and a place in television lore. Could it be any better?

But there’s actually a much darker side to Perry’s life, as the actor has sadly faced some serious obstacles behind the camera. Let’s take a look inside Matthew Perry’s tragic real-life story.

Did you learn anything shocking about this Friend?

Matthew Perry was my favorite friends character. He was just so relaxed and his jokes ACTUALLY made me laugh...

[kadekevin]

"Hi i'm chandler bing, i make jokes when i'm uncomfortable"

[aria_chatt]

It's so strange seeing him today. He'll always be a huge talent to me.

[ritul]

He had the greatest wit of all actors in comedy sitcom. Freinds writers admit they included his jokes on show.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Matthew Perry who acted so fantastically even when he was facing these problems.😊😊

[evietucker]

Its weird the seasons he can't remember were his best

[jetman]

Damn he can't remember seasons 3-6, those were the best seasons of Friends.

No one told him life was gonna be this way

My heart goes out to him. Addiction is not a joke and is painful. I'm happy that he is in a better place.

Sometimes, I wish I could hug Matthew Perry and tell him how amazing he is for being strong. He just seems like such a nice and genuine and humble guy.

[xblful]

He is so dreamy and has great comedic timing :( I feel so bad for what happened to him

[xiro]

Matthew Perry, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, the best comedy actors but it came with a price.

[taurean]

All those people who realize their flaws and work on them are the greatest

Chandler was one of my fav characters. So sad to know about this . I am happy he is doing well now. He also seems very sensitive to other recovery addicts. Opening up your malibu mansion to help addicts is a heart warming gesture. I have never battled addiction but my dad was an alchoholic and we have all suffered with him during this bad phases. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from addiction and their families.

[Saucyakld]

He is a lovely man, hope he can beat the addictions

[elizaash]

He's still a great comedian on the sitcom friends still

It's amazing to know that while he was suffering in real life he made EVERUONE else feel happy and loved and created one of the most favourite memorable loving characters of all time.
