In his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Bad Thing, Matthew Perry talks about the dark streak in his life and his struggle with drug addiction. In particular, he touched on the time spent on the set of Friends, and fans became interested in their reactions to the revelations of their colleagues at the workshop.
A source exclusive to HollywoodLife said that Friends knew everything before its release and supported the actor as well as his characters. “Even years later, the cast is still loyal to each other. Everyone was very supportive of Matthew, shared his story. It shouldn’t have been about their lives, it was always about his journey through addiction and he let them know that before he was released,” she shared.
It is also reported that the entire group hopes to see Matthew in public more often, as they love getting back together, and that their colleagues are in a healthier state for joint meetings. “They rarely see each other, but now that Matthew is better, they all hope that he will communicate with them a little more, they care about him and everyone supports him,” the source said.
Additionally, Matthew Perry has mentioned only his top co-stars in his memoirs: Jennifer Aniston supported her through her addiction, David Schwimmer helped the entire cast negotiate salaries, including a $1 million per episode salary, and she named Lisa . Kudrow is one of the “funniest people” he’s ever worked with. He even wrote the foreword for Friends, Lovers, and The Big Bad Thing.
Another source shared exclusive information with HollywoodLife on the matter: “It was an honor for Lisa to write the introduction to Matthew’s memoirs. It’s like family to him and he’s witnessed everything he’s been through in his life. She believes her story needs to be told because that way it could potentially help save the lives of other people struggling with addiction.” The insider also added that Lisa believes “all Friends’ cast members will read her memoirs and that everyone will support her.”
