I loved him. So witty and charismatic and also so broken and insecure. Just wanting to be loved and cared about. He suffered more than most. I hope he’s at peace now. Thank you Matt for all the laughs you gave everyone.

[laraoneal]

He was handsome, funny, intelligent and caring and never realized any of it. Hurtful childhood can have lifelong ramifications.

[SandiByrd]

What David Schwimmer did for the rest of the cast was next level - everyone needs a David as a friend. Someone who's willing to go to bat for you even when they don't have to.

[TsukaiDaiku]

I am still grieving for someone who actually did seem like a friend to so many! Little did we know that his death would be "The Big Terrible Thing". Rest in Peace, Dear Matty! 😪💜

I see hundreds of comments here but I wonder how many of you actually read his Memoir from Nov of 2022? I just finished it. I bought it for my son for Christmas because he struggles with drinking but instead, I decided to keep it to read first just to make sure that it dealt with what he's going through so he could relate. I'm glad I kept it. In the last chapter, I closed the book and cried. Matty was a very tortured soul. He knew he would eventually die from his addiction yet he had the will to live which is why he didn't die sooner than he did. He said in his book, "I don't want to die. I'm scared to die but .... if dying was a consequence of getting to take the quantity of drugs I needed, then death was something I was going to have to accept. I don't want to die but if I have to in order to get sufficient drugs on board, then amen to oblivion." After finishing the book, I came to the conclusion that giving this book to my son would encourage him to accept a fate that I didn't want him accepting. Even though Matty helped many people, Matty confirmed the addicts' fate. He was hopeful HOWEVER in his own words, "Addiction has ruined so much of my life, it's not funny. It's ruined relationships. It's ruined the day-to-day process of being me. I'd trade being worried about money all the time to not have the disease, this addiction. It's going to kill me." He spoke of it like it was a Stage 5 cancer. He knew exactly what he was doing and CHOSE to do it. I'm not saying that, he said that in his Memoir. I don't want my son adopting this mindset. The book was more for me as his mother in understanding what he's going through but it's not for him personally.

I loved you then and I still do. You didn't deserve the neglectful parents you were burdened with. Rest in Perpetual Peace Matthew. 🙏♥️🙏

So long Matthew and thanks mate. All my time watching friends was never wasted thanks to all involved.
Like so many people you suffered addiction. Hope you resting in peace.
The person you remind me of the most is young Corey Haim. How you managed to live to 54 is a miracle.
Friends gave you life and longevity. Friends gave you hope, company, financial stability and friends you can call on for life.
Thanks to Biographer for such and informative video.

Sadly Matthew Perry’s life story is if Chandler never married Monica, had kids or grew to become more confident in himself. He embodied Chandler with his comedic timing, personality but also with Chandler’s Initial cons. Unlike his character he never grew out of those flaws. He died alone at his big house with no wife, no kids, no friends by his side and no one knows what he was feeling or thinking in his last moments. Rest In Peace ❤

[lorimast]

Wow he struggled so much!!! His prayer was answered for sure, we all love him. Now he is finally at peace and knows how much we always will love and remember him.

[aliasif]

May he rest in peace 🙏
He will be missed by people all over the world as he brought smiles to millions of people all over the world...Gone too soon but left a permanent mark

[oscarmasias]

@3:00 💔 that hits hard... always been a huge fan of Matthew Perry, but the further I read into his memoir the more I feel for that man; Amazing person who will be forever missed by many including complete strangers - It takes a lot to affect complete strangers the way he has & I believe that alludes to the man he was on and off-screen.

[erinannestarrecore]

Matthew Perry, you were ALWAYS ENOUGH and so much more. You just didn't realize it. Much Love to You Always and Forever!!! R.I.P. ❤❤❤❤

[hpubuks]

He will be missed terribly by all of the world

[MissJane]

I just loved and adored him so dang much! His soul, so beautiful. So talented. Such an absolute kind, pure and generous man he was. Addiction or no Addiction ~ he 100 proved that it never truly stole his soul. ❤
He will truly be missed❣️❤

Excellent video! I really appreciated Matthew Perry and it's been great to watch such a comprehensive biography about his life.

[geneziogenezio]

AFTER ALL SERIOUS DOCUMENTARIES I WATCHED ABOUT MATTHEW RIP. I WAS ABLE TO ANALYZE THAT HE WAS A LONELY PERSON, NO FAMILY AND NO FRIENDS...REAL FRIENDS HELP, GO TO VISIT, SPEND TIME TOGETHER...HE ONLY HAD FRIENDS RECOGNITION AFTER HIS DEATH...STATEMENTS THAT HE COULD NO LONGER HEAR: I LOVE YOU!!! DO GOOD THINGS FOR PEOPLE WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE, WHEN WE DIE WE DON'T LISTEN AND DON'T FEEL ANYTHING ANYMORE!!!

[Therealgordongekko]

You need to go back and watch the "Heckles dies" episode on Friends. It is unbelievably eerily fortuitous. MP in the episode says "I'm going to die alone, I'm going to die young before my time". A lot of other eerie foreshadowing. Mathew was nothing but a good guy and a good man and a nice man. It's so sad

[crystalsherman]

A doctor giving a 1 month old a sedative is crazy

[cookeechoc]

So basically, he never felt good enough for the women he dated because he never recovered from the emotional scar of having been abandoned as an infant by his father (the lesson learned was that he wasn't lovable enough as a baby for his father to want to stick around with him and his mother), and later, in his teenage years, sort of emotionally abandoned by his mother when she started growing a new family. He felt like the women in his life would run away from him eventually just like his father had done. Regarding his lifelong substance and alcohol abuse, that could probably be traced right back to the 1st time he got a taste of it, when he was sedated by his parents as a baby, so that he would sleep through the night and they could get some sleep. He must have felt abandoned his whole life because it happened in his formative years, and probably implanted in his nervous system. I so understandably the feeling and lifelong aching pain...

[irismckay]

I hope Matthew's life helps people understand how the 'missteps' of his parents and how their inability to be there for him impacted his ability to function. He struggled with lots of demons and used those experiences to help others. He would have been happy to know the amount of love and respect he's received since his death. He did a lot for people and will continue to do so through his legacy and his book.
