I read his book. At the height of his massive fame in the late 90's early 2000's he had the #1 movie and #1 tv show and he was a miserable pill head drunk. Everytime you watch friends and he makes a joke just remember he is dying inside.
What a sad life.
Also interesting what kind of a drug addict he was. People like Andy Dick would drink, do drugs, then go out and sexually harass people and party. What did Matthew Perry do with all his addictions and all his money? He'd get high and play video games. You can make a 1:1 copy of a large amount of his life with a copy of Fallout 3, a 360, and some pills.
Wow he's just like me
literally me
[spoilers]Andy Dick i mean[/spoilers]
Ring-A-Ding
I like taking drugs and do nothing
drugs + party is also good but the hangovers are way worse
Except for the part where has was fucking attractive actresses and models
1:1 except he lived in a luxury home, had no financial worries, and even in his 50s when he looked like shit, he was banging hot young women.
>even in his 50s when he looked like shit, he was banging hot young women
source?
wtf i love chandler now
Damn that doesn't actually sound that bad lmao. The only thing he missed out on was having children, and even B-listers like him tend to have bastards running around.
He was sterile. Read about it
he definitely seems like one of those addicts who'd kick the habit for a decade or so, just enough to help raise a kid into a position to fend for itself (or ask its mother for help if it really had to)
fatherhood would've bought him an extra few years imo
been doin this for the past 11but with heroin because i dont even get high on pills. so in essence i am just like the celebrities
>What did Matthew Perry do with all his addictions and all his money?
Bought a hot lunch.
Every time I watch friends i feel like dying so I'm right there with him.
>he had the #1 movie
No he didn't.
Real life Bojack horseman, he used to be on TV you know.
I bought this to give as a Christmas gift. Did I do right Cinemaphile?
If you're giving it at a Christmas party, it's going to ruin the conversation as everybody will want to share their shitty opinion about the celebrity death.
no at a family gathering
Some people are like this. Some even become overachievers in order to feel some satisfaction.
What was the big terrible thing?
Death
his hot tub
His face
The moist maker.
Jennifer Aniston came into his trailer and told him "We can smell you." This is actually factual. It broke him so hard he made Serving Sara. His words.
Is that movie any good? It's got Liz Hurley in it.
He touched himself at night
Does he mention Lizzy?
he was a'ight as Chief O'Brien on DS9
>God.. its me, Matthew..
>Lord, I reaaaally wanna be super famous so if you could make that happen i'd be ever so grateful!
>aaaaaaaaaah! Being rich and famous is hard!
>..I'm just gonna stay inside and do drugs!
Drugs and underage whores produce the best entertainment. Hollywood died the moment they gave it up.
>they gave it up
I don’t feel bad for rich and famous attractive people. The rest of us die nameless and forgotten.
hes already forgotten. in more jealous of not having to work and having a comfy home where you can ack alone in a hot tub with a beautiful view
>implying anyone knowing you or remembering you is intrinsically important
Knowing probably, but remembering is some kind of fairy tale meme that doesn't matter, most everyone is forgotten in one or two generations.
he should have linked up with layne stayley
god I hate junkie homosexuals. Hanging out doing blow with friends and someone puts whiny fucking Alice In Chains on, the 90s were gay as AIDS
yet here you are
nice non-sequitur. Junkie homosexuals stay losing
not gonna lie that sounds fucking awesome
>on TV, in films
>instead of banging sluts and starting a family, he has a drinking problem
why be sad man you can walk into public and be like "I'm Chandler in the TV show FRIENDS" and everyone will kiss your ass
Brainlet take dude.
questions like that should wake you up to the fact that those kinds of things don't make people happy. It's why there are lots of poor nobodies that are happy. It's not just made up nonsense. Being rich and famous does not cause happiness. These actors are just normal people that got lucky in most cases and suffer all the problems of normal humans. From all that we know happiness comes from feeling like you have a purpose. Fucking your brain with drugs can stop that from even being an option.
>These actors are just normal people that got lucky in most cases and suffer all the problems of normal humans.
normal humans suffer from
>have to go to work just to make ends meet
perry was rich for life the moment he signed on for Friends, plus I heard he was born rich any way.
>may have a hard time finding a decent sexual partner
perry being famous meant he had the pick of the litter, he could have lots of women or one particularly hot one to keep, he had all the options.
money and sex are the two main concerns of normal people, until they have children, then that becomes the third concern. matthew perry had huge advantages in the first two concerns that make his life vastly different from that of a normal person. he had it OBJECTIVELY much easier than a normal person. being an actor who lands a license to print millions for the rest of his life, that's extreme, insane luck and normal people will never ever feel what it's like.
correct
see
Why would you read his book now?
Why would he ask a porn star for drugs?
she was kino when she first started out, now she's bogged and blacked and less fuckable than perry
Disgusting junkie homosexual.
I don’t care. Friends (and all sitcoms) suck and are for dumb people.
I wonder if he would have been happier if he never made it.
He said in the book his friend was going to try out for Channler or another show. He told his friend to do Channler but he chose the other show that failed. They stopped talking when he became famous. Two years later he talked to his ex friend and told him being rich and famous didn't fix his fucked up addict brain. He says multiple times in the book he would give up all the fame and money for not being a raging addict. He also said Bruce Willis was awesome and he never got over 1999 Neve Campbell dumping him because he was a drunk.
>he would give up all the fame and money for not being a raging addict
Why didn't he just give up the drugs to not be a raging addict?
Cause.. thats not what addicts do..? Honestly people with self control, discipline and willpower can stop themselves before they develop a bad addiction problem. Theres no excuse for him, he was rich as fuck. He had no other stressors other than making fucktons of money from friends.
The whole Im an addict because its genetic and I cant stop its a disease bullshit always pisses me off. Even if you are a person who is predisposed to having substance issues, you have a choice. No one is holding a gun to their heads telling them to snort lines or die.
Bullshit, I have garbage self control and even though I used to drink regularly, one day I just stopped and the occasional drink never makes me 'relapse', I just had the one and stopped for another few weeks or months. Point is Matt said he'd be willing to give up financial success to go cold turkey like it was some big sacrifice but couldn't give up the drugs, the one sacrifice that would've actually saved him.
He was so full of shit.
Probably not. Some people are just pre-disposed to being miserable fucks no matter what. For every Matthew Perry, there is 1000 junkies lying in the gutter who never made it.
I have done multiple drugs of all kinds and became addicted to a few but I just dont get why people become so addicted to alcohol
I get it if you dont have the money for better stuff tho
alcohol and benzos can kill you during detox
I dont get why people get so hooked on booze, whatever, but benzos are so shit that I straight up dislike people who get addicted to them because of recreational use
its such an no-fun drug
if you want booze on a pill get lyrica
Cry me a fucking river.
I work with guys who any of them have a combination of, multiple divorces, drug addiction, baby mamas, depression, kids that hate them, and who are constantly broke.
But the difference between them and Matt Perry is that none of them are rich and none of them bitched as much about their life than Matt has because they know deep down that their current state is a culmination of past fuck ups that lead them to where they are today. They know it's their fault.
>"Oh woe is me nothing is harder than being a rich celebrity with depression and a substance abuse problem!"
Try it as a broke nobody.
why does he make you seethe so much
guy was funny
Im not seething its just fucking sad.
now... correct me if you're wrong, but to me Friends is quite possibly one of the absolutely most overrated shows ever made alongside the Watchmen HBO mini series, Attack on Titan, Riverdale, Rick and Morty, Voltron: Legendary Defender, Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, the main Pokémon anime, the US version of The Office, The Golden Girls, Squid Game, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, One Piece, The Mandolorian, Star Wars The Clone Wars (the CGI show, not the 2-D micro-series), Game of Thrones, The Simpsons, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Full House, SpongeBob, The Loud House, Stranger Things, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and the vast majority of reality TV imho.
Hey I enjoy 4 of those 🙁
list them
it has its moments
every time I saw him in an interview talking about his addiction and stuff, he just came off as incredibly bitter about it and resentful that his coworkers didn't go through the same thing. everything he did, he did to himself, and he could never accept it.
>14 stomach surgeries
how tf does a stomach perform surgery? that makes no sense. doctors do surgery, not stomachs.
>by far the funniest guy in the show
>is miserable 24/7
something more subdued
In retrospect. Peter Hitchens won
If Matthew just listened, he wouldn’t have died
he was born in 1969. friends ended in. 2004. by the age of 35 he was a multimillionaire in Hollywood who never had to work again.
he left nothing. no wife, no kids, no family. he spent all his time chasing escapism through the drugs. he looked like shit by the time he was 50. fat and crippled. he was more than weak willed. he was a loser. he had one of the easiest lives in the world mapped out. he could have lived a long life like a king. he was a wanted actor as well. but he chose to be a tramp.
Have they found out what cocktail of drugs he was on yet? Or maybe it was just viagra and he was trying to jerk it in the tub.
Mark perty is a earthrocker
Would this be too sad to watch now?
hot dinner
Is there any version of the heat is kill pasta out there?
poor little billionare
>Everytime you watch friends and he makes a joke just remember he is dying inside.
Kek. Makes me want to go watch an episode right now.
typical white person, low mental fortitude, easily susceptible to drugs and vices
this is why this race is destined to be erased from the gene pool
>easily susceptible to drugs and vices
Lol, what race doesn't smoke, drink, or do drugs?
