It has been known for many years that Friends Star Matthew Perry has long struggled with addiction. His health actually became an issue while he was still starring on the hit sitcom, with the actor even admitting in 2016 that I don’t remember about three years working on the series due to its use of alcohol and drugs. After announcing her memoir earlier this year, the book will be out in November and explains how the NBC show was able to save her life during a recent medical emergency.
How does Matthew Perry think his friends might have saved his life recently?
While the Memory, Friends, lovers and the terrible big thing (opens in a new tab)He’ll go into a lot of detail about his time on the series and his lifelong addiction issues, and Chandler Bing’s interpreter has already spoken. how bad things went during the show, he also wrote about a health crisis a few years ago Friends it might have helped him.
According to his book (via rolling stone ), Perry said he was shooting a role in the star-studded Netflix movie, do not look (released December 2021) when he had to go back to rehab. She was taking hydrocodone (an opioid that treats pain and is used as a cough suppressant) and when she got to the rehab center she lied to doctors about severe abdominal pain so they could prescribe the drug. The medical professionals suggested surgery for this pain, which she accepted, but because she took the drug the day before the surgery, she reacted with the anesthetic, propofol. She added:
they gave me the [anesthesia] shot at 11, he woke up eleven hours later in another hospital. Apparently the propofol had stopped my heart. For five minutes. It wasn’t a heart attack, I didn’t stop, but it wasn’t beating. I was told that a robust Swiss didn’t really want the “Friends” guy to die on his table and he gave me CPR for five minutes, beating and beating me on the chest. If you weren’t on “Friends”, would you have stopped after three minutes? Did “friends” save my life again?
He also previously noted that his co-stars finally realized he had addiction issues and supported him as best they could. Jennifer Aniston talks about her addictions him more, for which he said he was “really grateful”. On occasion Friends: Reunion (which is available for those who have a HBO subscription Max ) was honest for the first time about the crazy pressure he put on himself to make people laugh . The new author also gained notoriety in special thanks to his speech which was actually due to a dental procedure.
It’s incredibly unfortunate that Perry has yet to struggle so actively with her addictions, and while she suffered too much after the medical emergency to keep shooting the Netflix movie, at least she survived to talk about it and move on. focus on your health so that your story can help others.
