3 Big revelations made by Matthew Perry in his memoir
Many were shocked to learn that Matthew proposed to his ex-girlfriend, Molly Hurwitz when he was “high on 1,800 milligrams of hydrocodone.” He also took her family’s blessings but went down on his knees in the fear of loneliness. Perry was scared that she would leave him, and he did not want to stay all by himself during the pandemic.
We all know how close the Friends’ leading cast, including Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew, were. But what most don’t know is that the late actor was “jealous” of his co-stars at a point. It was because he was dealing with “addiction” and couldn’t enjoy the massive success of the show, unlike others.
Life wasn’t easy for Matthew Perry but he never gave up. In fact, he was looking forward to his rehab journey for a sober life. He wanted to have children and get into a stable relationship. He wrote in his memoir, “I’ve surrendered, but to the winning side, not the losing. I’m not longer mired in an impossible battle with drugs and alcohol. I no longer feel the need to automatically light up a cigarette to go with my morning coffee.”
After the unfortunate death of Matthew Perry, his family has opened a foundation aimed at helping those suffering from the disease of addiction.
