Matthew Perry, known as Chandler Bing from the series Friends, believes that the stars of the series will not really care about his new book. Matthew Perry believes the cast of the hit 90s sitcom won’t really care about the new content he reveals in his autobiography.
In the new book called “Friends, Lovers and the Great and Terrible Thing”, the 53-year-old well-known actor describes in detail the difficulty of dealing with addiction to pills and alcohol, all this while playing in the most successful series of all time, aka “Friends”. Perry says that in his eyes the book probably won’t interest the former stars and that most of them haven’t read it at all and he doesn’t think they will either.
Those who he believes will buy his new book are “Friends” addicts and fans. Matthew discovered that one star of the famous six actually read the book, and this is Lisa Kudrow who played the character of the beloved and floating Phoebe. It even turns out that she is the one who wrote the exposition, where she describes that this is actually the first time she manages to understand what it is like to live next to someone who was an addict and how much it affected his life. In addition, Matthew shares that his partners on the set were very supportive and encouraging throughout the broadcast of the show, which he started when he was only 24 years old. Perry describes himself as “a guy desperate for publicity who thinks this is what will fix him.”
“They were tolerant and inclusive,” he says of his friends in the series. “It’s just like penguins in the wild, when one of them is sick or injured they surround him, support him and help him until he is able to walk on his own again. And that’s pretty much what all my cast members did for me.”

In an interview conducted with Diane Sawyer and aired on ABC, the presenter mentioned one significant moment in the book, when the actor actually revealed that it was Jennifer Aniston who first confronted him about his problem. Jennifer said “we know you drink,” read Sawyer. “Yes, describe to you what a scary moment it was,” replied Perry. He expanded and said that Aniston remained a close friend with him during the mental twins he had to deal with. ‘She was the one who came to help me the most. I’m grateful to her for that,’ Perry shared with Sawyer.
“Friends, Lovers and the Great and Terrible Thing” is available everywhere starting Tuesday.
