Uncovering All The Health Issues Of Matthew Perry

There were a lot of talking points from the “FRIENDS: The Reunion”, which aired on May 27, 2021. There was the bombshell that Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had a huge crush on each other for the first few seasons of the series, and the cameos from Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Cara Delevingne. But most importantly, the concern about Chandler Bing aka Matthew Perry’s health.

Perry has famously battled addiction issues almost the entire show and appeared to have slurred speech in several parts of the reunion special. It provoked comments from worried fans who are quite concerned about his health. As he reminisced about the show along with his fellow cast members, Perry also opened up about the severe anxiety he faced while filming the series. At one point he said, “I felt like I was going to die if the audience didn’t laugh. I would sweat and shake.” It is hard to believe that he was so pressurized while filming the show, considering he is such an amazing actor.

It was the first time Matthew Perry had been on-camera in years. And, fans were quite shocked by what they saw. The actor’s journey to sobriety was a very public one, despite him being out of the spotlight over the last few years. Let’s look into that further to uncover all the health issues of Matthew Perry:

1997 – Introduced To Painkillers After Jet Ski Accident

Perry found himself depending on Vicodin, just three years into filming FRIENDS even after his accident-related injuries healed. In 2002, during an interview with the People, he said, “It wasn’t my intention to have a problem with it. But from the start, I liked how it made me feel, and I wanted to get more.” Fans got concerned about him when he suddenly lost 20 pounds. He added jokingly, “I was out of control and very unhealthy. I returned to my original birth weight.”

Perry admitted himself to rehab that year. He spent 28 days in the Hazelden rehab center in Minnesota. Unfortunately, his sobriety didn’t last long after returning home. He said, “I was able to stay sober for a brief period but I didn’t really get it.”

2000 – Hospitalized For Pancreatitis

According to the People, Perry spent two weeks in L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He explained, “Unfortunately, that still wasn’t enough to get me to quit drinking.” He was drinking a quart of vodka daily by 2001, in between filming “Serving Sara” and “FRIENDS”. He admitted, “Never when working. But the hangover is brutal. I was sleepy and shaking at work.” Marta Kauffman, producer of FRIENDS said to the People, “It was terrifying, watching someone you care about in so much pain.”

2001 – Made A Desperate Call To His Parents

Friends and family reached out to Perry to offer support throughout his ongoing substance misuse. He usually wasn’t ready to hear it. However, the actor called his parents in February 2001. He said, “I was in fear of losing my life. There’s a moment of clarity where you have to prioritize your life. I listened to it.”

At that time, FRIENDS was in production, and his parents took him to an undisclosed rehab center to get treatment. There he spent two and a half months getting better. He told People, “It was scary. I didn’t want to die. But I’m grateful for how bad it got. It only made me more adamant about trying to get better.” After that, his sober journey began.

2011 – Went To Rehab To Keep Sobriety On Check

He told the world it in a humorous way. He said in his statement, “I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the World Wide Web.” However, a source told the People that there was no relapse, and this visit was a maintenance one for Perry.

2013 – Stepped Out To Help Others Recover

After getting experience and knowledge from rehab, Perry wanted to make a difference in the lives of others as well. So he turned his Malibu, California home into a sober-living center, “The Perry House” for men. He said, “When I die, I’d like FRIENDS to be listed behind helping people.” Because of the financial reason he closed that house by 2015 with plans to reopen in a different location. Unfortunately, it never happened.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said, “I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my life and a lot of wonderful accolades. But the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic comes up to me and says, ‘Will you help me stop drinking?’ I will say, ‘Yes. I know how to do that.’”

2016 – Admitted For Not Remembering Around Three Seasons Of FRIENDS

Perry confessed on BBC Radio 2, “I don’t remember three years of it. So none of those … Somewhere between Season 3 and 6 … I was a little out of it.” In the same year when these seasons were shot, Perry was struggling while working on a play in London after his pictures of talking to himself and smoking a cigarette circulated online.

2018 – Underwent Gastrointestinal Surgery

The operation was to repair a gastrointestinal perforation. It is the loss of continuity in a bowel wall caused by inflammation. Perry never stated publicly that it was his addiction-related. However, the actor spent three months recovering in the hospital after the surgery.

2021 – Slurred Speech At The Reunion Special

After 17 years, the cast of FRIENDS shows reunited at the reunion special. While they all reminiscing about the souvenirs they took from the show, Perry said, “I stole the cookie jar that had the clock on it. I gave it to Lisa Kudrow.” But, he pronounced “stole” with a “sh” sound. Fans immediately expressed concern for Perry’s well-being after watching the footage knowing that he’s struggled with addiction for much of his life.

A source told the Sun after the concerns arose that Perry’s words were slurred due to emergency dental work. The source said, “He had been in pain from what we understand, which caused the slurred speech. Obviously, no one wants to film after a procedure, but it happened.” The source further clarified, “Matthew has told those around him that he is sober, and there is no need to worry.”

There have been speculations about Perry’s health for quite a long time. But as we all can see that they were mere rumors. Anyway, it is always a pleasure to see him happy, healthy and cracking jokes.

FRIENDS actress Courteney Cox aka Monica Geller is an amazing mother to Coco Arquette. Cox and her ex-husband, David Arquette had Coco in 2004. She gave off proud mom vibes in her recent Instagram post where she wished her daughter on her 17th birthday, i.e. June 13. You’re well aware of the goofy and lovable bond shared between the mother-daughter duo if you’ve been keeping up with the FRIENDS star’s IG page.

I love you so much.” She shared several throwbacks and recent snaps of the gorgeous star kid. Coco’s dad David Arquette also posted several pictures to wish her gorgeous daughter on her birthday.

After everything is done and happened, Arquette and Cox are now good friends and respect each other. But their relationship faced so many bumps down the road and conceiving Coco was a major one.

Difficulty In Conceiving Coco

The journey of motherhood was not easy for Cox. After getting married in 1999, the couple tried to conceive but they didn’t get lucky. Despite having a miscarriage seven times, they didn’t lose hope. In an interview with the People, Cox said, “We bounce back pretty quickly. I don’t say it’s a walk in the park. But what are you going to do? We just try again.”

At that time Cox was shooting for FRIENDS. And after getting miscarried again, she had to film Rachel Green’s birth scenes. Cox admits that it was particularly very difficult to shoot that scene after suffering a miscarriage. In an interview with NBC, she said, “I remember one time I just had a miscarriage and Rachel was giving birth. It was like that same time. Oh my God, it was terrible having to be funny.”

In 2004, the couple’s perseverance eventually paid off and Cox and Arquette welcomed their daughter, Coco. The history before they conceived Coco is reason enough to love the little girl more than anything else. The couple had been waiting for Coco for so long!

How The Couple Separated

Cox and Arquette began to experience issues in their relationship after having Coco. Although Cox was initially attracted towards the quirky attitude of Arquette, she soon became bored of his kooky behavior and started to feel like more of his mother than his wife. In 2010, eventually, this tore apart the couple, and they separated after being together for 11 years.

A day after their split, Arquette revealed the reason behind his breakup from Cox while talking on a radio show. He admits that his quirky attitude and lack of maturity took a huge toll on their marriage. As per US Weekly, about their decision of separation, he said, “It breaks my heart. I was not the one that called this [separation] in order.” He continued, “I’ve been begging Courteney to get back with me. She’s conflicted too.”

Arquette also revealed that Cox’s 11th wedding anniversary gift was a clear sign that she does not want to continue their relationship anymore. He recalled and said, “She said to me, ‘I don’t want to be your mother anymore.’ And I appreciated that about her … She didn’t want to tell me, ‘Don’t do that.’ She didn’t want to nag me anymore.” He remembered that Cox said this after gifting him a motorcycle, which was restricted earlier.

In 2013, after two years their divorce became final and their ways separated.

Sharing Custody Of Coco

After the shocking news of Cox and Arquette split, people also came to know that the couple had already planned for joint custody to share the parental rights of their daughter Coco. According to a source that said, “This is a difficult time for Courteney and David and their primary concern is for Coco.” Cox and Arquette always say that they are on great terms and are amazing friends.

As they co-parent their daughter Coco, Arquette said to Yahoo Entertainment, “We’re friends, and we’ve communicated a lot because of Coco.” He further continued, “We’ve just had – not an easy time with it, we’ve just been really open and supportive of each other. We never went head-to-head battled each other.” He added, “Through the process of divorce and through the process of raising our kid. So it’s made for a friendship and relationship that is out of respect.”

Cox and Arquette went for the joint legal and physical custody of their daughter Coco. She also requested to officially drop Arquette from her last name because she was representing herself without a lawyer. However, the divorce was finalized and they got joint custody. After that, she took her to the sets so that she can work and take care of her daughter as well.

Once, she brought Coco to the Cougar Town set, and while she worked, the adorable little girl enjoyed a play date with a friend of Cox, Jennifer Aniston, who is also the godmother of Coco. Cox was also photographed when she took Coco for a bite to eat at the Japanese restaurant Nobu in California, without Arquette. In a joint statement, the duo said, “We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply.”

Cox immensely loves her daughter. After so many miscarriages, she finally had the most gorgeous and amazing daughter. On her 17th birthday, she wrote a heartfelt note to her daughter and posted it on social media. She shares some cute pictures featuring Coco and wrote a sweet and heartfelt caption.

However, apart from Cox and David, Coco’s godmother also wished her on her birthday on social media. She shared a candid throwback photo of herself and Coco in her Instagram Stories. Jen wrote, “Happy Birthday my sweet Cocolicious! Godmama LOVES you.”

Real Life Struggles Of The FRIENDS Cast Revealed

FRIENDS first premiered in 1994 on NBC and made a remarkable place in the people’s hearts in 10 years. It came to an end in 2004. However, the show still continues to be popular among the audience, and its time at Netflix introduced new generations to it. The iconic show was based on the six young adults who were living in New York City making through their professional, social, and personal lives.

They may have played the happiest on the show, but their real-life was not a piece of cake for them. From struggling with fame to battling intense personal drama, they have seriously faced a lot of their issues. Here are some of the real-life struggles of the FRIENDS cast that they tackled bravely in their life.

1. Courteney Cox

Fertility Struggle

After getting married to David Arquette, the couple tried to conceive but they didn’t get lucky. Despite suffering miscarriages seven times, they never lose hope. However, after getting miscarried again, she had to film Rachel Green’s birth scenes in the FRIENDS show. Cox admits that after suffering a miscarriage, it was very difficult to shoot that scene. In an interview with NBC, she said, “I remember one time I just had a miscarriage and Rachel was giving birth. It was like that same time. Oh my God, it was terrible having to be funny.” However, the couple’s perseverance eventually paid off in 2014 when Cox and Arquette welcomed their daughter, Coco.

2. Lisa Kudrow

Dealt With Body Image Issues

During a podcast with Marc Maron, Kudrow reveals that she struggled with body images while filming FRIENDS because she was taller than her co-stars, Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston. She was pretty uncomfortable about it and always felt like a “Mountain of Woman”. She also revealed that she was so thin at that point in time that she always get sick for one reason or another. She also said that she does not want to go back and re-watch the episodes. In the interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said that she doesn’t watch it if it’s on because she is afraid that she might not like herself on the show. She is not able to even remember the last time she watched it.

Struggles To Play Guitar

For the role of Phoebe Buffay, Lisa Kudrow was required to learn to play the guitar. But, she hated playing the instrument. However, the creators of the show ended up bringing a guitar teacher for her which didn’t last long. She gave up on trying to play well after the few classes. Lisa Kudrow confessed in an interview, “I didn’t like the guitar. I wasn’t getting it.” She further continued, “So I think I even asked, ‘What if she plays the bongos?'”

Kudrow learned few chords of the guitar which were enough for the character because Phoebe would only know a handful of chords anyway. Ultimately, her limited guitar skills paid off and brought out more charm in the character of Phoebe Buffay. And the quirkiness of Phoebe’s character didn’t stop. Kudrow’s quirkiness made the classic song Smelly Cat iconic, despite not knowing how to play guitar.

3. Jennifer Aniston

Struggles With Dyslexia

Aniston found that she has Dyslexia in her early 20s. Until then she just thought that she wasn’t smart enough to retain anything. It impacted her education and self-image a lot. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said, “I felt like all of my childhood trauma-dies, tragedies, dramas were explained.” She says that she wasn’t a good student in large part because of dyslexia.

Unsafe Childhood

Jennifer Aniston never had a safe household while growing up and she was always vocal about it. She was never close to her parents and had rocky relationships with them. While her father left when she was nine, her mother shared a lengthy estrangement with Aniston. That impacted her formative years a lot. However, Aniston being generous never held in a grudge against her mother and said, “I think she was just holding on and doing the best she could, struggling financially and dealing with a husband who was no longer there.”

Struggle With Shaking Off “Rachel Green” After The Show Ended

Aniston opened up about her struggles after the FRIENDS show ended. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she said, “I mean, I could not get Rachel Green off of my back for the life of me. I could not escape ‘Rachel from FRIENDS’.” She further continued, “And it’s on all the time and you’re like, ‘Stop playing that f***ing show!'” She always feared that she would never be able to shake off from the character.

4. David Schwimmer

Difficulty In Cope-Up With The Fame

When the show ended in 2004, it was time for him to move on but he didn’t take naturally to the celebrity that came with casting in the most beloved sitcom. Perhaps, he would have hidden in the crowd rather than stand out. His personal struggles with fame mostly backed him away from acting. Beyond one or two notable appearances, he chose to focus on different activities which kept him away from the spotlight.

Because of this, after the show, he was hardly seen in anything significant. In 2005, he starred in an independent drama, “Duane Hopwood” which received ambivalent reviews. Despite that, the critics liked his performance. In 2007, he did a British comedy film, “Run Fatboy Run” which received mixed reviews. With his on and off-going career, in April 2017, Schwimmer helped to adapt the films of “Sigal Avin” for US audiences. The six short features depict sexual harassment at work by men on women.

Hatred Of His Neighbors Towards Him

David Schwimmer bought a property in the East Village in 2010. He wanted to keep the facade away, so he decided to tear the whole thing down instead of renovating it. Because of that, an anonymous neighbor left a message for him. “Ross Is Not Cool” was written on the construction site fence in huge letters. This created feud with his neighbors. The true FRIENDS fans will remember that this also happened in the show when Ross denies chipping in for the maintenance man’s retirement gift.

5. Matt LeBlanc

Arrested For Driving Under Influence

After becoming a celebrity, Matt LeBlanc was getting used to the party lifestyle. But, he got arrested for being under the influence of party liquids while driving twice after the FRIENDS show ended. He admitted that when he was young and stupid, he never drove fast, just crooked. However, Matt refuses all these incidents as the product of his age.

Injured Himself On The Set

In the episode “The One Where No-One’s Ready”, Chandler and Joey get into a fight over a spot on one of Monica’s chairs. He hit himself real bad when they both were rushing towards the chair at the same time. He revealed on Jimmy Kimmel’s show about the incident and said, “So we both race to the chair, and I have to step over the coffee table and land on this big, huge comfortable chair. I ended up completely upside down.” He further explained, “I was going to land on my head between the table and the chair, so I put my arm up to break my fall and exploded my shoulder.”

6. Matthew Perry

Addiction Problems

Matthew’s addiction made it complicated in filming the show. His co-workers were worried about him. In an interview with People Matthew said, “I was on FRIENDS from age 24 to 34. From an outsider’s perspective, it would seem like I had it all.” He further continued, “It was actually a very lonely time for me because I was suffering from alc0holism. It was going on before FRIENDS, but it’s a progressive disease.” However, after being prescribed painkillers, he felt better than he has ever felt in his entire life. But, he had a big problem with that too as he couldn’t stop using them a lot. He didn’t even remember the three seasons of the show because of his problems. It was never the show’s fault, but he will always associate those dark days with being on FRIENDS.

Unable to Ride Past The Iconic Character “Chandler Bing”

Most FRIENDS cast members will be willing to do anything to have that of crazy success but Matthew was finding it difficult to get over with Chandler Bing. He had several failed projects which made him believe that he would always be remembered as Chandler Bing. And that will be considered his biggest achievement. Many of the directors refused to see Perry more than Chandler Bing. And also some people can’t get over how Matthew looks now. Either way, he was unable to find any relevant work post FRIENDS.

Nightmare About FRIENDS Reboot

During the Variety interview, he said, “I have this recurring nightmare. I am not kidding about it. When I am asleep, I have this nightmare that we do FRIENDS show again and nobody cares. So if anybody asks me, I am gonna say NO.” He further added that the show has ended on such a high note that they would never be able to beat it.
