the beginning of everything
According to Perry, the first drug experiences happened even before he joined the 'Friends' team, the series that made him a millionaire. According to the actor, already in 1990, he had his first complications due to the use of alcohol and also with opioid medication, after an accident he went through.
In the following decades, it was necessary to fight hard and every day against the reality of drug use, and the problem grew more and more. At one point, he even fell into a coma due to a perforated colon, which also forced him to wear a colostomy bag for nine months.
So, Matthew tells in his book that his family learned that he would only have a 2% chance of surviving the state he was in. However, the actor also reveals that it was this death ultimatum moment that made him think about his life again, hence the time of his turning point.
‘Friends, Lovers, And The Big Terrible Thing’
The revelations came with the publication of the book 'Friends, Lovers, And The Big Terrible Thing', which came out in the United States on November 1st. In the work, Matthew tells in detail that it was necessary to go to rehab more than 15 times to really get rid of drug addiction.
As you can imagine, this required the use of a lot of money, which the actor had due to the success of the series 'Friends'. In all, more than US$ 9 million was spent on treatments, medications and hospitalizations. In addition, the autobiography brings many facts about the actor. For now, there is still no forecast for the launch of the book here in Brazil.
