With all his own addictions and life challenges, Matthew still managed to put a smile on faces of millions of people for many years and make them laugh. I wish him well!
You guys should know by now that if you don’t follow the Hollywood narrative you end up on the outs. Over the years I’ve seen him attend hockey games in LA he’s quiet but very normal he would at least give you time a day can’t say the same for the others! Not only that his cast mates were called out for hailing Satan before each taping perhaps he’s a Christian
Well he was making millions of dollars to do that. Addiction isn’t going to be as tough when you have unlimited money for good drugs. He was feeling great when you seen him on camera because he was high
He apparently had a relapse of his painkiller addiction recently, his pancreatitis was bad since early 2000s, maybe he's on meds or back to his addictions.
@@siddharthbirdi I don't know what's going on with him. It just sucks that after a nice promo, the focus is on attacking this beautiful man. Not cool. Not cool at all.
@@allgunsblazed9106 i agree. the world lost a very dear friend. we are allowed to be sad and mourn about it. its a normal feeling. we dont have to bring up his addiction in a time like this. i care about everybody, dont get me wrong. its always sad when somebody leaves. Matthew Perry made a great impact on many fans. it warms my heart what i see online. for example the charlie puth video. i felt very sad when i saw the reunion. i actually was scared that he was depressed, and might hurt himself or smt. so this news broke me into a million pieces. i hope he is up there and sees how many are crying over him and how much he was loved. i love that so many fans are dealing with this their own way, and in a weird way brought all of us fans closer together. hope he finds peace. ( sorry for so many words. i just needed to talk to someone about this. ) wish you well.
i really hope the poor guy is in a HUGE better place now , the rest of us gonna miss him like hell , but he was the pure right person to play chndler bing on friends thats for sure , he did that superb , may he rest in peace .
Matthew, through all your pain, you provided laughter way beyond the abilities of most. I remember watching Friends and thinking what an amazing talent you were. I can say, without hesitation, you took me to a lighter place with your humor. Rest in peace. You will be missed.
It's only those that are in pain are the ones that make us laugh to forget their own problems. Matt Perry had his issues but he never gave up and helped thousands and even though he gone he'll still help people when they watch the show read his book or anything else he has done. He was a good person and an inspiration
Dude had a stroke from the vaccine just like a ton of people. Vaccine took out my mother. My chiro is all messed up and slurring. He clearly had a few mini strokes.
Can we all just appreciate that this man is ALIVE? And even able to understand what’s going on around him? I mean Jesus Christ. The poor man survived over a decade of raging substance abuse and we SAW IT in real(ish) time. A decade of his life spent bouncing in and out of rehab and his former costars still love him like they did day one almost 30 years ago so can we all just lay off and appreciate him being able to participate at all?
The comments about him are kind and compassionate, encouraging and hopeful. So what are you talking about when you say “lay off him” when people are expressing care, kindness and appreciation for him?
We were expecting Chandler Bing the character, instead we got Matthew Perry the man, a person that went through a lot in live, struggling against addiction and the pressure of being a legend. I have a lot respect for this man, he faced is demons live in front of the world knowing that people would comment , for me there’s no friends without Matthew Perry, so thank you for making this reunion possible ( friends is the best show of all time)
@@websrfr8454 Me too, I have the original box set without commercial edits. Thank you warner and thank you youtube tv for editing episodes. Because of this, I refuse to watch friends on tv because these companies want to censor media -- not opening the door to political talk, just my two cents. Last time I saw friends on youtube tv, it was the episode mike proposed and the entire scene was cut short only to the portion where he proposed. I ripped a movie dvd in the past on windows, I have to find out how to do it on a mac so I can have all of the friends episodes on a flash drive to view anywhere without streaming dependence.
Sigh. People asking for this “reunion” for years and 2 minutes into them promoting it people are negatively jumping on the cast. And we wonder why they wanted no part of it for almost 2 decades.
Yo, give this man the respect he deserves. While transparent, he doesn't ask for accolades for his philanthropy or his sobriety. He is one of the most selfless actors you will ever find.
I wasn't happy to see matthew Perry isn't happy! But Now I got it, Our Champ is suffering now and we have to also pay him back the smiles he given us🥳😁😉 Good Work Chandler! ❤️❤️ Bro You're the Coolest!
People are disrespecting him. It is not pity, it is called empathy, understanding, humanity, concern. I don't lose sleep but I love him for all the laughs/entertainment he has provided me and not just in Friends.
Matthew Perry has been an actor that I’ve known since 1987. To anyone younger than 30, just remember that you’ve got a lot of life to live. With every year, you change. We don’t understand anyone struggle unless you live it.
As a fellow addict I can say that the fight is never over. There just is nothing comparable to the feelings and "easings" that drugs give to people who suffer from addiction disease. Since the drugs are stronger than the love for yourself, somebody accepting me as who i am instead of judging or shaming on what i use, is the best thing someone can do for me, until I find enough self-respect to try to not destroy myself again and again. Edit; and it's a real shame that media spins and brings up these problems of talented actors and musicians because it causes ostracization for their working in future.
In an interview I watched many years ago he revealed his addiction that he was so out of it he couldn’t remember filming season 7 or 8. But he went to work and just worked.
This video is heartbreaking but also it is so so heartwarming that he uses his experience to help other people who are struggling. This man is incredible and I have so much respect for MP.
@@tasbn5723 Maciu, Matthew,Latte Day Saint, Mecca, Quaker Crew, Elijah Ben Yehudah, yeshua, ISIS, Mystical KABBALAH, Jacob ladder, Harbinger, Nas leader,
You people need to get off his ass. Everyone knows he has struggled a lot and the last thing he needs right now is “fans” analyzing everything he does. Give the man a break, the fact he is in this reunion is such a victory for him and for us
I am 17years teatotal this may and hearing Mathew Perry interviews and my head said if it can work for Mathew Perry it can work for anyone glad to see the people back
Truer words never spoken! I so feel for him....addiction is such a painful thing, then to have the world scrutinize every thing you do, every move you make....couldn't even imagine! He needs support, not comments from the peanut gallery!
@@ringsidereaper4202 disrespectful and false are two different things. I rather be disrespectful than wrong. I don't owe respect to that man. He's OK 💁
Given the news I woke to, here in the UK today, this is quite a poignant video to stumble upon. Such a sad and untimely ending, for a talented guy who was doing his best to help others in a difficult situation. RIP Matthew Perry/Chandler Bing 💜
It’s really sad that because he’s been open about his struggles people jump to that instead of showing empathy. He doesn’t sound like he’s slurring or under the influence it sounds like he’s having a hard time talking. It must be frustrating for him.
That interviewer telling him he "chose" addiction was insensitive and so completely misguided I want to scream. Unfortunately, that's the attitude of the ignorant majority. They just don't get that substance abuse changes the structure and operation of your brain and fighting it without help verges on the impossible for many, many addicts. You have to use the only tool in your arsenal to fix damage done to that tool. To say that it's hard is a gross understatement. It's existential. It's like battling a starving Bengal tiger for survival and the battle is by no means a foregone conclusion.
@Real Deal you’re making an assumption. He’s had speech problems for years. Just because he’s had past addiction issues doesn’t mean that’s what is going on.
@@jessmarie525 exactly. For me it almost sounds like he has dentures or a lip plate put in. My mom lost all her teeth from Lupus and needed dentures at 18 years old. She lisps because of it and it sometimes dislodges from her jaw/mouth. The way he talks is similiar. Sounds like he has a set of poorly placed dentures or a poorly placed lip plate.
so many succumbed and died. He fought. and is fighting. Prince Harry's podcast interview with Dax Shepard showed me never judge a person from extreme wealth. I applaud Harry for leaving toxic shit and carving his own life.
Matthew Perry just needs our support! So much respect for him being brave and enough to do this. He is baring his soul knowing people will have things to say. Matthew Perry is a LEGEND!!!! ❤️ him so much
I am happy Matthew is surrounded by 5 friends who will always love him no matter what. Many people struggling with challenges and addiction do not even have family members supporting them. It does not matter how you look, it matters how you make others feel. Perry emplifies this notion.
God be kind to him, he's been to the edge of madness and back with what the drugs and drinking did to him. I sincerely wish him well. He deserves respect for his efforts for helping himself and helping others. God bless him.
@@mattskeydom its easy to be wise until you have walked in the same shoes, and travelled down the same road, Then you will have true wisdom and with it, compassion.
@@mattskeydom if you were put in a similar position, and all the choices were bad, and you were in so much pain that it was crippling you and you couldnt function, I wonder what you yourself might do? I hope you NEVER get into a position like that. When your choice is simply wall to wall pain or some pain relief that you see no risk in taking...what would you have done? It is easy to be wise when its not you left in that position. You may look down on him for being weak and getting addicted but he could not foresee his possible future when he took a painkiller to kill some bad pain. The drinking is likewise an addiction and it is a very slippery slope fron one drink wirh the lads after work, to drunking all alone at.home to make your shit life seem more bearable. You have no idea what its like to walk the path he has walked. Wisdom cones when you have been there, done that and can write a book about it. I understand where you are coming from, but until his circumstances were yours then you have no point of reference.
So sad to see people prying and judging. Nobody's perfect, he's been through hell and back, cut him some slack y'all!! Like u said 'God be kind to him'.
My brother died a couple months ago due to addiction at the age of 34. He had been battling addiction for 16 years and unfortunately addiction won. So honestly people should be giving this man a standing ovation daily for his strong will not to return to the demon's that are indeed still within. How do I know this because I too am an addict and have been clean now for 5 years but everyday is a struggle and it's the choices you make on whether that demon is going to rear it's ugly head again or you're going to keep it at bay. That saying one day at a time is a legit saying for sure. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Good for you Matthew Perry!
So glad Matthew Perry is still alive after all his struggles & painful recovery. So sad that people are pointing out all his negative side effects or weaknesses without taking into account his battles to stay sober, drug free and above all, alive. Thank you Matthew Perry for making a difference in other people's lives who need help like you did. KEEP GOING. STAY STRONG. God bless you.
Well, hate to say this but, if you don’t or have never known a alcoholic then, it’s not just about being just overwhelmed with emotion. Eventually if a alcoholic and drug abuser continues to uses over a number of yrs eventually it catches up with you and not only does it effect your mental state but, it also will end up effecting your health. Because, I seen it happen to people.
He's been battling drug and alcohol addiction for a very long time, as early as Season 3. Where's he's at now, none of us can know. But it doesn't look good.
No matter what has happened in Matthew Perry’s life, it does not take away his talent. He is still loved & admired by his family, friends & long time fans..🤗🙏🏻
By far - Matthew Perry is My favourite - 'OUR' FAVOURITE - For many many many reasons. So when he aches, we ache. When he smiles, we smile. May he always be the happiest, healthiest, Amen.
I don't know if anyone else felt it BUT Chandler/Mathew Perry haven't said a Lot, or wasn't participating well! Joey/Matt Le Blanc was Ceying and Laughing from Real Heart and was sad that Show Ended! Lisa was Cool, Rachel was still being Mean!
A man that bared all,the funny,the poignant and the cruel unjust addictions that became his shadow. This man was so brave and dignified and will always be remembered for his courage not to give up.
Finally someone tells the truth about addiction it comes from all the pain you had to endure throughout all your childhood!!! Physical Mental Sexual Abuse!! It literally puts you on a different Journey and you’ll never know who you could have really been!! And I’m sick of hearing well this person was abused and they didn’t go awry well every one is different some how people forgets that!!
@@karenmcmillian6373 Finally? Literally Everyone Has Said & Knows Addiction Comes From Pain... They Find Something That Finally Numbs The Pain Away. Some Don't Even Know They Had The "Pain", Not Until They Took Something That Made Them Feel Better, Not Realising They Been Suffering. Except Thinking The Way They Felt Was Totally Normal, And That Must Be How Everyone Else Felt. Now It's A Problem! A Deep Dark Bunny Hole, That You Don't Want To Go Down. Many Never Make It Back Out! Other's That Do, Have Very Difficult Lives There After... I Can Speak Genuinely For I Am A Former Addict Myself. I Hope Matthew Perry Stays Sober, And Never Stops Fighting The Good Fight🙏
Everyone ASSUMES that Matthew Perry is not okay. No one said he was. He’s very vocal about his struggles. If there’s an issue he will say. STOP REACHING
People are expressing their caring for him. Please excuse us we mean no harm. Yes I agree words of confidence and positivity are beneficial but so are expressions of love and concern. Thanku for pointing that out though. Media can draw out anything to be read with sensations that doesn't always have good intent in mind.
Gosh yes..chill the hek out everyone and worry more about people who are actually in your lives who might be struggling and who you could actually help.
Am I the only who thinks videos like this, though informative, might actually affect his self esteem because of people taking notice of his slur? I mean, yeah we know he has struggled w addiction in the past, but we shouldn't necessarily point stuff out like this right?
No he is basically asking for help. He is under the influence and he knows everyone knows. With a addict you have to call a spade a spade. I hope he gets better.
Possibility of a stroke for sure. Definitely not under the influence again. If he could act and do some of the best acting of his career for 5+ years while blacked out and not arising suspicion (besides the drastic weight loss) I highly doubt an interview would be such an issue and be so noticeable. Addicts are pros at hiding their condition. Hate people saying he is under the influence. Maybe a stroke. For me it almost sounds like he has dentures or a lip plate put in. My mom lost all her teeth from Lupus and needed dentures at 18 years old. She lisps because of it and it sometimes dislodges from her jaw/mouth. The way he talks is similiar. Sounds like he has a set of poorly placed dentures or a poorly placed lip plate. Or like others are suggesting, a stroke
At the end tho.... David talking about how time changes people, Matt looking over at him acknowledging what he’s saying, and Matthew looking down because he knows how things change people..... That’s just something else.
Perry is an inspiration not just for people with an addiction but also for, well, everyone to not give up. Maybe he didn’t looked best on this show but he struggled for so many years and I respect him for just showing up!
Perry like so many other celebrities, gave laughter and joy to fans, but that funny exterior was masking deep personal pain and internal struggles. Thankfully he is still with us today, and I wish him all the best ❤️
He was the main reason I became hooked on the show. His movie characters and beautiful smile warmed hearts and he could make everyone laugh. He seems like a caring and honest man. We hope the best for him. May his life have peace and fulfillment he seeks and deserves. We are sincerely holding you in our hearts.
@Ethzfernz Football News Yeah. I also saw him later while one of his buddies was in another detox I was in after meeting him. He recognized me right away and made a point to come sit and talk with me about my recovery. I haven't seen him at the regular 12 step meetings I use to see him at, then again there are no meetings right now other than online. I just hope he's still ok. He seemed pretty out of it in that Friends reunion video. I also had some crazy run-ins with Tony Stark himself, yes Mr. Robert Downey Jr. I'm writing a book of my crazy adventures as a addict and gonna try and piece together all these stories. Been working on the book for a long long time now. It will be called "A Portrait of Los Angeles"

He's a part of the wonderful chemistry between the Friends. He acted his heart out, often effortlessly while struggling with the horrors of addiction. Loved him then, do now, always will. He is irreplacable and god willing he will be with us for a very long time. 💖🌱
It’s clear that he doesn’t like to draw attention to himself when he’s in a bad state. It’s an act of decency on his part. But he knows that letting people closest to him know when he’s struggling is the best thing he’s ever done. 👍
I know we are concerned about perry but at the same time I hope he doesn’t read these comments or headlines and take them in a negative way and make him feel self-conscious, cuz we really do care about him and we are proud of him for fighting his demons ❤️
I’m so proud of Matthew! He faced a very tough addiction at a young age and he’s doing the best he can now! I hope he’s doing well and I give all my love and support out to him and what he has done to help others overcome their addictions too!
I miss the old Chandler too but I'm happy that watched him laughing and enjoying his time with his 'friends' in the reunion. His amazing work will never get old and he will always be my favorite character.
Do you know what? I'm so pleasantly surprised and really glad that most of the comments on here are super respectful and nice about Matthew Perry. The journey that he's been through must have been absolutely horrendous. If anyone even tries to be cruel or laugh at his expense then I can almost bet a million bucks that they will either know a major hiccup in their life or guide someone they love through it. What seems to be a total dead end always just ends up being a bit of a curve in the road. Be kind. It matters.
why is everyone making a big deal out of his slurred words. hes a human, not a robot. its not a big deal. even if he developed a speech impediment, it shouldnt be a concern at all.
@@bellareid3488 exactly right. He's had an opioid addiction, on and off, for years. Everyone making excuses for his behavior does NOT help him. He needs real help or he will die from his addiction.
It definitely is a big deal and a huge concern. Many famous people have died much too young from either medicine abuse or suicide. I want Matthew to stick around for a bit longer yet.
Imagine going back to the place that gave you both the best and worst of your days.. Give him a break, and let's just be happy and thankful he's doing better and that we got the 6 o them in the reunion 🙌
Not sure he is doing better if he is messed up on a day he shouldn't be. Thats another reason he is do emotional. If he was better he wouldn't be acting that way. I hope he gets better.

Its not up to us to speculate or demand he tell us the condition of his health. Just be glad he agreed to be part of this reunion at all. Chandler/Matthew was the heart of this show.
Been a big fan since the start of the show. I even watch it every night before I go to sleep. They are one of my favorite ensembles. Waiting for all these years for a reunion. Can we please keep it positive.
Yep. However Courtney made the news in L.A many many years ago at her height of being on friends. Was at a restaurant. The waitress waited on her. Waited for her to finish her meal. Asked for an autograph. 😂 Courtney Cox yelled and told her how rude she was. And literally left her a penny as tip. Idk why I remember this. 😩🤣
I honestly wonder if he had a stroke, that is what he sounds like. He has always been such an amazing comedic actor, I would hate to think that he is unwell.

So very sad of Matthew’s passing…my sincerest of condolences and deepest of sympathies to all of the Friends crew…RIP Matthew you’re greatly greatly missed!!! 🙏🏻❤️💔
It’s amazing he was able to perform so well while so heavily under the influence. It makes me sad that some of the episodes he doesn’t remember are some of my favorites. I hope he gets help for whatever’s troubling him now, whether it’s alcohol, drugs, or something else. Your fans love you Matthew! Stay Strong♥️
Omg are we really over analysing his look and speech this if he isn’t ok isn’t helping him. If you watch it he is just sad reminiscing as they all are. He is open about his struggles and don’t think judging everything he does helps him.
Addiction to drugs creates depeession. His tears arent dor nostalgia, theyre from depression becausecm he cant beat his drug use. Opiate addiction can be overcome, you have to want it!
@@katc2345 How do you know, you could be the best docter in the world but no matter what you dont know what he was feeling then, he could have been just sad everyone else cried, who has to say it was about depression.
He's right. No one can force someone to be sober. They have to want it themselves. I hope his story helps more people have empathy toward people with addictions and realize that it is a disease.
I am watching this video after receiving the news of his demise. I just can't believe the guy who introduced us to the world of sarcasm is no more. May he rest in peace❤
Imma be real. I have never watched more than maybe 15 episodes of Friends. But I have heard about Matthew Perry. While I never watched a lot of Friends this man has my respect. Addiction is hard. And everyday he struggles with it and moves on with his life and make it better he is a hero and a strong man. You go Matthew Perry!! Much love and support❤
Matthew has always been my favourite Friends character. We all wished we had friends like these five. They were all great role models for anyone that was twenty something when Friends came out and stayed with us into our thirties. They were the best days to come home and watch them after work and while making or having dinner. You kept your head on shall I say because there is nothing like this series on mainstream television now. It kept so many people well. Chandler was the best ever. Matthew Perry was the greatest. I mean seriously, how many women the world over wanted to marry the guy? That’s how good. Bless your cotton socks Mr Perry. You made my days❤
He's 51 and has been through addiction. You don't just "go through addiction." I'm 51 and I'm a recovering addict. So what did your comment mean? That older individuals have one leg in the ground? And what makes him so different? Nothing I can see. Let me go. I feel, at 51, that I may encounter a bout with dementia, lethargy, seizure, weak, heart attack, pancreatic cancer, and I could go on rambling, but I'm 51, so...
That's not "fine". Slurred speech is a pretty strong sign that he's not a picture of health. Choose your words carefully. You don't "go through" addiction - you live with it. Age may have some part in it, but many 51 year olds are just as coherent as a 25 year old.
As a recovered addict myself with 3 years clean.... I send all my love and prayers Matthew's way. No one knows what's really going on here. But if he is caught up in something again....I hope he can once again find his way out and continue the life he was and is meant to live.... love you Matthew!!!!
Exactly. I think theres a Graham Norton interview from like 2018 where he lisps in that interview too. For me it almost sounds like he has dentures or a lip plate put in. My mom lost all her teeth from Lupus and needed dentures at 18 years old. She lisps because of it and it sometimes dislodges from her jaw/mouth. The way he talks is similiar. Sounds like he has a set of poorly placed dentures or a poorly placed lip plate.
@@shaniadirstein3650 I'm guessing a stroke or early dementia, both of which his substance abuse could have caused. It's not just his slur but his eyes and whole "slow" behaviour.
Oh my God people stop speculating! How would you feel reading such bs about yourself? Also I think he would be able to afford dentures placed properly Jesus Christ...
He will always be my favorite character in the show. Specially how he uses his sense of humor as defense mechanism, its just that I see myself to him. He's very kind to help those people who have suffering with the same addiction he has been, and how he uses his popularity to make a change... HE'S THE BEST💙💙💙
*Matthew Perry had emergency dental surgery right before the reunion show. That's what caused his slurred speech. He endured a lot with his addictions. He took pain pills for a water ski accident. He is a natural comedian and he's just hilarious. The show "Friends" was great.*
@@zerotolerance9829 I'm sorry to say this.. but are you actually stupid? Addiction is a real disease and just like real diseases you *CAN* (sort of) get cured from it. With an addiction it takes much willpower and discipline but you can get sober and stay sober for the rest of your life. The thing is, once you're an addict, you'll always be an addict. Doesn't mean you're still in use of a substance (drug, or whatever said addiction is. Have faith that even "extreme" drug abusers can get sober mate.
Oh man, I cannot believe it's been 17 years!! It does feel like just yesterday!! I thought he seemed emotional too-- cannot wait to see the reunion!! My gosh, all of the babies will be teens!! That should be interesting!
The ending of friends actually hit hard for Matt LeBlanc and Matthew perry as they both started smoking and drinking. In a interview Matthew said that if he had a time machine he would have stopped friends from ending. It is so sad 😞😥
I have never watched TV, but stumbled across your book. I'm learning about you because of that. Know you are never alone. There's ONE who loves you better than a brother. Gratitude is the key to happiness. The more reasons you find to be grateful, the more reasons you'll find to be grateful. Addiction is an evil master. I wish you well

Hello , could you shoot me a message on WhatsApp I think I have something that you may find interesting.
💯
I'm watching friends now on Netflix, still laughing my ass off, I will never get sick of it.
You guys should know by now that if you don’t follow the Hollywood narrative you end up on the outs. Over the years I’ve seen him attend hockey games in LA he’s quiet but very normal he would at least give you time a day can’t say the same for the others! Not only that his cast mates were called out for hailing Satan before each taping perhaps he’s a Christian
Well he was making millions of dollars to do that. Addiction isn’t going to be as tough when you have unlimited money for good drugs. He was feeling great when you seen him on camera because he was high
He made me laugh for years and for that alone I wish him well.
He's the funniest guy on the show!
There are funny guys on the show? But cool dude, there are characters that make me continue to watch shows too.
He was the most unfunniest one
Yeab mathew and matt shared an amazing bond
I agree. I personally enjoyed his performance on Friends quite a bit and found his character the most relatable.
I'm still rooting for him. He seems like the kind of person that wears his heart on his sleeve.
Same, and after all he's been through, he still has that very same smile that made EVERYONE fell in love with him when we met him as Chandler
Sure does. He seems like an amazing man. Very sweet and kind and funny.
He apparently had a relapse of his painkiller addiction recently, his pancreatitis was bad since early 2000s, maybe he's on meds or back to his addictions.

@@bryantthompson6817 tf i wrong with you
Yes
That’s a beautiful thought and wish. .. thank you.
I hope he knew how much he was loved…
Matthew, through all your pain, you provided laughter way beyond the abilities of most. I remember watching Friends and thinking what an amazing talent you were. I can say, without hesitation, you took me to a lighter place with your humor. Rest in peace. You will be missed.
It's only those that are in pain are the ones that make us laugh to forget their own problems. Matt Perry had his issues but he never gave up and helped thousands and even though he gone he'll still help people when they watch the show read his book or anything else he has done. He was a good person and an inspiration
The great pretender... but inside he was measurable.
Dude had a stroke from the vaccine just like a ton of people. Vaccine took out my mother. My chiro is all messed up and slurring. He clearly had a few mini strokes.
His character was my favorite. I hope he is ok.
I had hoped that the spin off would've been chandler and monica raising the twins in the suburbs..

@@cynthian420 huh.. Wikipedia calls it a spin off 🤷♀️

Why this shit recommended to me
Can we all just appreciate that this man is ALIVE? And even able to understand what’s going on around him? I mean Jesus Christ. The poor man survived over a decade of raging substance abuse and we SAW IT in real(ish) time. A decade of his life spent bouncing in and out of rehab and his former costars still love him like they did day one almost 30 years ago so can we all just lay off and appreciate him being able to participate at all?
Seriously, people on social media these days just need a reason to make a fuss..!!
I know right? Did he die!
I applaud your comment and couldn’t agree more. 💜
@@cottypodo cycle
The comments about him are kind and compassionate, encouraging and hopeful. So what are you talking about when you say “lay off him” when people are expressing care, kindness and appreciation for him?
He was humble enough to straight up be honest about his addiction. That is admirable. Much respect for the dude.
RIP Matty! You were a rare gem.
We were expecting Chandler Bing the character, instead we got Matthew Perry the man, a person that went through a lot in live, struggling against addiction and the pressure of being a legend. I have a lot respect for this man, he faced is demons live in front of the world knowing that people would comment , for me there’s no friends without Matthew Perry, so thank you for making this reunion possible ( friends is the best show of all time)
Exactly, I think many expected to see Matthew Perry with the personality or jokes that came on the show, that is, Chandl
I have watched every episode at least 3 times. Purchased the first 6 seasons on DVD
Well said.
@@websrfr8454 Me too, I have the original box set without commercial edits. Thank you warner and thank you youtube tv for editing episodes. Because of this, I refuse to watch friends on tv because these companies want to censor media -- not opening the door to political talk, just my two cents. Last time I saw friends on youtube tv, it was the episode mike proposed and the entire scene was cut short only to the portion where he proposed. I ripped a movie dvd in the past on windows, I have to find out how to do it on a mac so I can have all of the friends episodes on a flash drive to view anywhere without streaming dependence.
Sigh. People asking for this “reunion” for years and 2 minutes into them promoting it people are negatively jumping on the cast. And we wonder why they wanted no part of it for almost 2 decades.
Yep, like asking for cake then denying ever wanting it in the first place.
No kidding!!! Haters STFU!
It's buyers remorse after seeing how fat, ugly, and old they are
I think the four million payout helps.

I wasn't happy to see matthew Perry isn't happy!
But Now I got it, Our Champ is suffering now and we have to also pay him back the smiles he given us🥳😁😉 Good Work Chandler! ❤️❤️ Bro You're the Coolest!

The fact that Matthew Perry is living life despite his addictions really says something about him and his support network.
He had emergency dental surgery on the day.........
Matthew Perry has been an actor that I’ve known since 1987. To anyone younger than 30, just remember that you’ve got a lot of life to live. With every year, you change. We don’t understand anyone struggle unless you live it.
@@Numberwang90 he was fucked up
@@Numberwang90 Yeah, I know
@@amykernan7594 ,
He’s a fighter! He falls, he gets back up, again and again, that’s to be admired! He should be proud he’s here to tell the tale! God Bless him!
As a fellow addict I can say that the fight is never over. There just is nothing comparable to the feelings and "easings" that drugs give to people who suffer from addiction disease. Since the drugs are stronger than the love for yourself, somebody accepting me as who i am instead of judging or shaming on what i use, is the best thing someone can do for me, until I find enough self-respect to try to not destroy myself again and again.
Edit; and it's a real shame that media spins and brings up these problems of talented actors and musicians because it causes ostracization for their working in future.
amen to that
He’s been through hell battling the disease of addiction. Give the guy a break.
THANK YOU. Finally someone said it. 😁
people and the media pointing out how bad he looked is only gonna make it worse for him. people are stupid
In an interview I watched many years ago he revealed his addiction that he was so out of it he couldn’t remember filming season 7 or 8. But he went to work and just worked.
What addiction?
Yeah
This video is heartbreaking but also it is so so heartwarming that he uses his experience to help other people who are struggling. This man is incredible and I have so much respect for MP.
He had dental work done before she show wtf?
So sad! However, we can be grateful that, although Matthew Perry has passed, Chandler Bing will live on.
Just tell Matt I love him dearly and he is so valued

You people need to get off his ass. Everyone knows he has struggled a lot and the last thing he needs right now is “fans” analyzing everything he does. Give the man a break, the fact he is in this reunion is such a victory for him and for us
That show probably changed his life. It changed everyone elses
I am 17years teatotal this may and hearing Mathew Perry interviews and my head said if it can work for Mathew Perry it can work for anyone glad to see the people back
I'm not even a Friends fan, I just hope, as a human being, he finds peace and is able to break free for good.
Truer words never spoken! I so feel for him....addiction is such a painful thing, then to have the world scrutinize every thing you do, every move you make....couldn't even imagine! He needs support, not comments from the peanut gallery!
As much as I love Chandler I think he needs to stay away from Friends it seems like a huge trigger for him..
All this criticism is gonna make him hide forever from the public eye. We all know what he's been through. We should be more understanding.
All the comments that I’ve read are nothing less than supportive and understanding. There’s a lot of love for M.P. ❤️
Exactly
I wish him the best 💛
looking through the comments for what happened?
He doesn't terrify fans, we love him and wish him well
He said yup I’m gonna cry. That was his voice shaking...from wanting to cry
Ha ha ha , nothing like a true thespian !
Then you didn't see the full interview with Matt, Matt and David.

Given the news I woke to, here in the UK today, this is quite a poignant video to stumble upon. Such a sad and untimely ending, for a talented guy who was doing his best to help others in a difficult situation. RIP Matthew Perry/Chandler Bing 💜
It’s really sad that because he’s been open about his struggles people jump to that instead of showing empathy. He doesn’t sound like he’s slurring or under the influence it sounds like he’s having a hard time talking.
It must be frustrating for him.
That interviewer telling him he "chose" addiction was insensitive and so completely misguided I want to scream. Unfortunately, that's the attitude of the ignorant majority. They just don't get that substance abuse changes the structure and operation of your brain and fighting it without help verges on the impossible for many, many addicts. You have to use the only tool in your arsenal to fix damage done to that tool. To say that it's hard is a gross understatement. It's existential. It's like battling a starving Bengal tiger for survival and the battle is by no means a foregone conclusion.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤❤❤ Praying for you Matthew
@Real Deal you’re making an assumption. He’s had speech problems for years. Just because he’s had past addiction issues doesn’t mean that’s what is going on.
@@jessmarie525 exactly. For me it almost sounds like he has dentures or a lip plate put in. My mom lost all her teeth from Lupus and needed dentures at 18 years old. She lisps because of it and it sometimes dislodges from her jaw/mouth. The way he talks is similiar. Sounds like he has a set of poorly placed dentures or a poorly placed lip plate.
@@shaniadirstein3650 p
Perry is one of those actors that you don’t hear much about but yet you should, the stuff he has done for those struggling with addiction is admirable
so many succumbed and died. He fought. and is fighting. Prince Harry's podcast interview with Dax Shepard showed me never judge a person from extreme wealth. I applaud Harry for leaving toxic shit and carving his own life.
He literally had dental work before the show he already said
Matthew Perry just needs our support! So much respect for him being brave and enough to do this. He is baring his soul knowing people will have things to say. Matthew Perry is a LEGEND!!!! ❤️ him so much
I am happy Matthew is surrounded by 5 friends who will always love him no matter what. Many people struggling with challenges and addiction do not even have family members supporting them.
It does not matter how you look, it matters how you make others feel. Perry emplifies this notion.
Perry has not only looked at healing himself, but also others who have suffered from addiction. He comes across as a truly caring individual.
God be kind to him, he's been to the edge of madness and back with what the drugs and drinking did to him. I sincerely wish him well. He deserves respect for his efforts for helping himself and helping others. God bless him.

@@mattskeydom its easy to be wise until you have walked in the same shoes, and travelled down the same road, Then you will have true wisdom and with it, compassion.
@@mattskeydom if you were put in a similar position, and all the choices were bad, and you were in so much pain that it was crippling you and you couldnt function, I wonder what you yourself might do? I hope you NEVER get into a position like that. When your choice is simply wall to wall pain or some pain relief that you see no risk in taking...what would you have done? It is easy to be wise when its not you left in that position. You may look down on him for being weak and getting addicted but he could not foresee his possible future when he took a painkiller to kill some bad pain. The drinking is likewise an addiction and it is a very slippery slope fron one drink wirh the lads after work, to drunking all alone at.home to make your shit life seem more bearable. You have no idea what its like to walk the path he has walked. Wisdom cones when you have been there, done that and can write a book about it. I understand where you are coming from, but until his circumstances were yours then you have no point of reference.
So sad to see people prying and judging. Nobody's perfect, he's been through hell and back, cut him some slack y'all!! Like u said 'God be kind to him'.
What the drugs and drinking did...ofcourse he was tricked into it
He made millions of people happy. Hope he finds real happiness for himself soon
He hasn't been the same since him & Lizzie Kaplan broke up. I luved them together
My brother died a couple months ago due to addiction at the age of 34. He had been battling addiction for 16 years and unfortunately addiction won. So honestly people should be giving this man a standing ovation daily for his strong will not to return to the demon's that are indeed still within.
How do I know this because I too am an addict and have been clean now for 5 years but everyday is a struggle and it's the choices you make on whether that demon is going to rear it's ugly head again or you're going to keep it at bay.
That saying one day at a time is a legit saying for sure.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Good for you Matthew Perry!

So glad Matthew Perry is still alive after all his struggles & painful recovery. So sad that people are pointing out all his negative side effects or weaknesses without taking into account his battles to stay sober, drug free and above all, alive. Thank you Matthew Perry for making a difference in other people's lives who need help like you did. KEEP GOING. STAY STRONG. God bless you.
Probably just overwhelmed with emotion, he's only human.
Well, hate to say this but, if you don’t or have never known a alcoholic then, it’s not just about being just overwhelmed with emotion. Eventually if a alcoholic and drug abuser continues to uses over a number of yrs eventually it catches up with you and not only does it effect your mental state but, it also will end up effecting your health. Because, I seen it happen to people.
He's been battling drug and alcohol addiction for a very long time, as early as Season 3.
Where's he's at now, none of us can know. But it doesn't look good.
It’s like u didn’t listen to the video
No matter what has happened in Matthew Perry’s life, it does not take away his talent. He is still loved & admired by his family, friends & long time fans..🤗🙏🏻
He was one of my T.V. crushes. Matthew will be missed! My heart's sadden and broken but, may he RIP Matthew Perry. You're in God hands now.
Be kind everyone. Lift people up at all times.
Addiction is one hell of a battle. Keep fighting Matthew lots of us have been there and we support you💜

Finally someone tells the truth about addiction it comes from all the pain you had to endure throughout all your childhood!!! Physical Mental Sexual Abuse!!

Except Thinking The Way They Felt Was Totally Normal, And That Must Be How Everyone Else Felt.

Didn’t he say in the reunion that he’d just come out of having emergency dental surgery and that’s why his speech was slurred.
@eioshen boboi exactly
And I have abridge to sell you in the Gobi Desert.
Unlikely. Cringeworthy excuse too.
He has the same slurred speech on Graham Norton......
Cough cough BS
Everyone ASSUMES that Matthew Perry is not okay. No one said he was. He’s very vocal about his struggles. If there’s an issue he will say. STOP REACHING
Hello , could you shoot me a message on WhatsApp I think I have something that you may find interesting.
You should never stop reaching its what gets alot of people killed
People are expressing their caring for him. Please excuse us we mean no harm. Yes I agree words of confidence and positivity are beneficial but so are expressions of love and concern. Thanku for pointing that out though. Media can draw out anything to be read with sensations that doesn't always have good intent in mind.
Gosh yes..chill the hek out everyone and worry more about people who are actually in your lives who might be struggling and who you could actually help.
Oh cause you know him personally, right? Lmao. Stfu and let people be empathetic

@@allihenderson7955 Mmm
Am I the only who thinks videos like this, though informative, might actually affect his self esteem because of people taking notice of his slur? I mean, yeah we know he has struggled w addiction in the past, but we shouldn't necessarily point stuff out like this right?
welcome to the world
No he is basically asking for help. He is under the influence and he knows everyone knows. With a addict you have to call a spade a spade. I hope he gets better.
Possibility of a stroke for sure. Definitely not under the influence again. If he could act and do some of the best acting of his career for 5+ years while blacked out and not arising suspicion (besides the drastic weight loss) I highly doubt an interview would be such an issue and be so noticeable. Addicts are pros at hiding their condition. Hate people saying he is under the influence. Maybe a stroke. For me it almost sounds like he has dentures or a lip plate put in. My mom lost all her teeth from Lupus and needed dentures at 18 years old. She lisps because of it and it sometimes dislodges from her jaw/mouth. The way he talks is similiar. Sounds like he has a set of poorly placed dentures or a poorly placed lip plate. Or like others are suggesting, a stroke
100 percent
Unfortunately that’s the price you pay for being famous. Nothing is private.
At the end tho.... David talking about how time changes people, Matt looking over at him acknowledging what he’s saying, and Matthew looking down because he knows how things change people.....
That’s just something else.
Perry’s story hits home for me. I have nothing but love and respect for this man.
Perry is an inspiration not just for people with an addiction but also for, well, everyone to not give up.
Maybe he didn’t looked best on this show but he struggled for so many years and I respect him for just showing up!
Matthew Perry is one of the funniest actors
I hope he doesn't forget that he has millions of fans no matter what
Perry like so many other celebrities, gave laughter and joy to fans, but that funny exterior was masking deep personal pain and internal struggles. Thankfully he is still with us today, and I wish him all the best ❤️
...everybody loves Matt Perry, top man and a very sad day ❤
He was the main reason I became hooked on the show. His movie characters and beautiful smile warmed hearts and he could make everyone laugh. He seems like a caring and honest man. We hope the best for him. May his life have peace and fulfillment he seeks and deserves. We are sincerely holding you in our hearts.

He’s always honest about his flaws and struggles. I so respect him for that.

My heart is broken. Rest in peace Matthew. 😢
I was in rehab with Mathew and later we met in 12 step meetings. He's such a nice guy. He would order out for everyone in detox when we were in rehab.
@Ethzfernz Football News Yeah. I also saw him later while one of his buddies was in another detox I was in after meeting him. He recognized me right away and made a point to come sit and talk with me about my recovery. I haven't seen him at the regular 12 step meetings I use to see him at, then again there are no meetings right now other than online. I just hope he's still ok. He seemed pretty out of it in that Friends reunion video.
I also had some crazy run-ins with Tony Stark himself, yes Mr. Robert Downey Jr. I'm writing a book of my crazy adventures as a addict and gonna try and piece together all these stories. Been working on the book for a long long time now. It will be called "A Portrait of Los Angeles"

Do you know what? I'm so pleasantly surprised and really glad that most of the comments on here are super respectful and nice about Matthew Perry. The journey that he's been through must have been absolutely horrendous. If anyone even tries to be cruel or laugh at his expense then I can almost bet a million bucks that they will either know a major hiccup in their life or guide someone they love through it. What seems to be a total dead end always just ends up being a bit of a curve in the road. Be kind. It matters.
why is everyone making a big deal out of his slurred words. hes a human, not a robot. its not a big deal. even if he developed a speech impediment, it shouldnt be a concern at all.
It's depression from long term substance abuse
@@Sebastian_Torr Depression does not slur speech, meds for depression might. Lets be honest here.
@@bellareid3488 exactly right. He's had an opioid addiction, on and off, for years. Everyone making excuses for his behavior does NOT help him. He needs real help or he will die from his addiction.
It definitely is a big deal and a huge concern. Many famous people have died much too young from either medicine abuse or suicide.

You're absolutely correct. Overcoming addiction is a deeply personal journey that requires a genuine desire for change 🙌
EXACTLY as I have family member's who are addicted to 1 thing or another
It’s still self inflicted!
I am watching this video after receiving the news of his demise. I just can't believe the guy who introduced us to the world of sarcasm is no more. May he rest in peace❤
No matter what happens, We still love our Chandler Bing!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Imma be real. I have never watched more than maybe 15 episodes of Friends. But I have heard about Matthew Perry. While I never watched a lot of Friends this man has my respect. Addiction is hard. And everyday he struggles with it and moves on with his life and make it better he is a hero and a strong man. You go Matthew Perry!! Much love and support❤
RIP Matthew. Miss u already. We loved you Always authentic with us. So respected him for that.
Matthew has always been my favourite Friends character. We all wished we had friends like these five. They were all great role models for anyone that was twenty something when Friends came out and stayed with us into our thirties. They were the best days to come home and watch them after work and while making or having dinner. You kept your head on shall I say because there is nothing like this series on mainstream television now. It kept so many people well. Chandler was the best ever. Matthew Perry was the greatest. I mean seriously, how many women the world over wanted to marry the guy? That’s how good. Bless your cotton socks Mr Perry. You made my days❤
He’s fine. He’s talked like this for a while. Remember, he’s 51 years old and has been through addiction.
No he's not just"fine" he revealed that he feel terrible and that he need time for hisself. He's been trough so much.
He's 51 and has been through addiction. You don't just "go through addiction." I'm 51 and I'm a recovering addict. So what did your comment mean? That older individuals have one leg in the ground? And what makes him so different? Nothing I can see. Let me go. I feel, at 51, that I may encounter a bout with dementia, lethargy, seizure, weak, heart attack, pancreatic cancer, and I could go on rambling, but I'm 51, so...
That's not "fine". Slurred speech is a pretty strong sign that he's not a picture of health. Choose your words carefully. You don't "go through" addiction - you live with it. Age may have some part in it, but many 51 year olds are just as coherent as a 25 year old.
@@genuinedelusionsmusic thank you for also commenting on this pathetic response. People are stupid.
An addiction that he brought on himself, he's high af here lol
💔💔💔. RIP Matthew. You will always be remembered.
He was so brave to speak about his struggles. R.i.p
Real 🤍🕊️
Amen ❤
HELLO THERE TO Y'A ALL.
MY NAME IS PABLO,IM 52 AND IM FROM MEXICO.
JUST WANT TO SAY,I LOVE THE SHOW AND ALL THE CREW.
MR. PERRY GOD BLESS YOU.
As a recovered addict myself with 3 years clean.... I send all my love and prayers Matthew's way. No one knows what's really going on here. But if he is caught up in something again....I hope he can once again find his way out and continue the life he was and is meant to live.... love you Matthew!!!!
@matthew perry awww....come on now....
@matthew perry I don't know WHO "YOU" actually ARE to be able to answer that particular question....
@matthew perry and I'm Jennifer Anniston

That’s what he’s sounded like for the past few years. I think he’s fine, especially when compared to how he looked in 2019
Exactly. I think theres a Graham Norton interview from like 2018 where he lisps in that interview too. For me it almost sounds like he has dentures or a lip plate put in. My mom lost all her teeth from Lupus and needed dentures at 18 years old. She lisps because of it and it sometimes dislodges from her jaw/mouth. The way he talks is similiar. Sounds like he has a set of poorly placed dentures or a poorly placed lip plate.
@@shaniadirstein3650 I'm guessing a stroke or early dementia, both of which his substance abuse could have caused. It's not just his slur but his eyes and whole "slow" behaviour.
Oh my God people stop speculating! How would you feel reading such bs about yourself? Also I think he would be able to afford dentures placed properly Jesus Christ...
I’m in the dental field, sounds like he has dentures. It’s a difficult process to adjust to them.
Same, my dad has them and he has a slight lisp or slur with them.
It’s drugs
He also had emergency tooth surgery at the time.
that’s what I thought too
About the dentures
He will always be my favorite character in the show. Specially how he uses his sense of humor as defense mechanism, its just that I see myself to him. He's very kind to help those people who have suffering with the same addiction he has been, and how he uses his popularity to make a change... HE'S THE BEST💙💙💙
Yes my absolute fav
Remember when Monica said to Chandler, "you can't even shed tear for your dead wife", well now he's filled with emotions 🥺
*Matthew Perry had emergency dental surgery right before the reunion show. That's what caused his slurred speech. He endured a lot with his addictions. He took pain pills for a water ski accident. He is a natural comedian and he's just hilarious. The show "Friends" was great.*
so what was his excuse when he spoke the same why on Graham Norton a few years ago?
@@snap-n-shoot Excuse me wtf
@@snap-n-shoot You're saying you don't think he's sober?
@@FrostahVFX dude spent years on drugs and drinking. What the f*** do you think?
@@zerotolerance9829 I'm sorry to say this.. but are you actually stupid? Addiction is a real disease and just like real diseases you *CAN* (sort of) get cured from it. With an addiction it takes much willpower and discipline but you can get sober and stay sober for the rest of your life. The thing is, once you're an addict, you'll always be an addict. Doesn't mean you're still in use of a substance (drug, or whatever said addiction is.
Have faith that even "extreme" drug abusers can get sober mate.
I mean 17 years later. Maybe it just hit him harder than the others. He seemed emotional which is logical. I hope he’s ok.
God.... 17 years? It feels like yesterday.
Oh man, I cannot believe it's been 17 years!! It does feel like just yesterday!! I thought he seemed emotional too-- cannot wait to see the reunion!! My gosh, all of the babies will be teens!! That should be interesting!
The ending of friends actually hit hard for Matt LeBlanc and Matthew perry as they both started smoking and drinking. In a interview Matthew said that if he had a time machine he would have stopped friends from ending. It is so sad 😞😥
I have never watched TV, but stumbled across your book. I'm learning about you because of that. Know you are never alone. There's ONE who loves you better than a brother. Gratitude is the key to happiness. The more reasons you find to be grateful, the more reasons you'll find to be grateful. Addiction is an evil master. I wish you well
