Friends and colleagues are leaving heartfelt words for Matthew Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing in the cult series "Friends". After the unexpected death of the actor, his friend and colleague Jennifer Aniston talked about the last moments of Perry's life.
In her commentary for Variety, Aniston said that Matthew's last days were happy, healthy and filled with hope for a full recovery. With tears in her eyes, she shared that they spoke on the last day of the actor's life, and she confirms that he was doing well and making strides towards breaking free from his destructive addiction to alcohol and drugs.
"He was happy. He was healthy. He quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy, that's all I know. He was not in pain. He didn't fight. He was happy. I want people to know that he was indeed healthy and on the mend. He was in pursuit. He worked so hard. He really had a hard time. I miss him very much. We are all sad. Boy did he make us laugh so hard. I hope he guessed that he was loved in a way that he never thought," said Jennifer Aniston.
Perry, who died at the age of 54, struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for a long time. He himself acknowledged this struggle in his memoirs, "Friends, Mistresses and One Big Trouble", which was published shortly before his death. From these memoirs, it follows that after many years of suffering, operations and being on the brink of life and death, it was possible to overcome addiction. Matthew Perry decided to use his experience to help others in similar situations.
The death of the actor, who was found dead in his own jacuzzi, left his devoted fans with a great loss, and their fond memories of him underscore his importance in the history of film and television.
