Opiates and water are a bad combination. 

Rest in peace. 

[C-Man 27,883]

Wow. Can’t say I’m shocked. But wow.

[atomheartbevo 90,742]

Are we sure it’s the same guy?  The Matthew Perry that is being reported as dying is described as being a comedian, which is definitely not the guy from Friends.  

[BrazilHorn 6,859]

That’s crazy. What a shitty way to go. 

[atomheartbevo 90,742]

Reading his Wikipedia article, that’s some serious drug issues.  But damn, he had a dating life and a half

Personal life

Perry holds both Canadian and American citizenship. 

Perry dated Yasmine Bleeth in 1995. He also dated Julia Roberts from 1995 to 1996. He later dated Lizzy Caplan from 2006 to 2012.[44][45][46]

Perry is a fan of the Fallout video game series. On a 2009 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he gave Ellen a copy of Fallout 3. This prompted game studio Obsidian Entertainment to cast him in the next installment of the series, Fallout: New Vegas.[47]

In August 2018, it was reported that Perry had abdominal surgery to repair a gastrointestinal perforation.[48] On September 15, 2018, he revealed in a tweet that he had spent three months recovering in the hospital, suggesting the surgery had taken place in June 2018.[49][50]

He became engaged to Molly Hurwitz, a literary manager, in November 2020. In June 2021, Perry announced he had called off the engagement, telling People magazine, "Sometimes things just don't work out and this is one of them. I wish Molly the best."[51]

edit:fake bit

He has described his politics as "left of center".

Alcohol and drug addiction

Perry became addicted to Vicodin after a jet-ski accident in 1997, and completed a 28-day rehab program later that year.[53] His weight fluctuated drastically over the next few years and once dropped to 145 pounds (66 kg). He lost 20 pounds (9.1 kg) in 2000 due to pancreatitis.[54] He again entered rehab in February 2001 for addiction to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and alcohol.[55][56] He was filming Serving Sara in Texas when he suffered severe stomach pains, and flew to Los Angeles to check into Marina del Rey's Daniel Freeman Hospital. Perry's publicist, Lisa Kasteler, confirmed his rehab stay. He says he has spent around $9 million to get sober.[57] He has revealed that due to his addiction issues, he does not remember three years of the time he was acting on Friends, "somewhere between season three and six."[58]

In 2011, as a celebrity spokesperson for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, Perry went to Capitol Hill to lobby members of Congress in support of funding for drug courts.[59] Perry received a Champion of Recovery award in May 2013 from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy for opening Perry House, a sober living home situated in his former mansion in Malibu, California.[60][61] Perry later sold the home and shuttered the rehab center in 2015.[62] Perry has been completely sober since May 2021.[63]

The second NBC sitcom star to die this weekend. If these things come in three, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Jason Alexander better be careful.

[Deej 77,966]

Jason Alexander wouldn't coordinate his tip with Larry. I can't feel bad. 

[SimonBolivar 11,078]

I thought Matthew Perry was Matthew Rhys' name at first. That would've been a big loss.

Rhys Darby would have been a bigger loss.

Yeah, my bad, I threw together a quick tribute for folks to post on their Facebook and twitters. Accuracy be damned, I can fix mispellings later.

[Buzzrock 15,192]

His absolute best work was The Whole Nine Yards with Bruce Willis and a great ensemble cast. Worth checking out, includes Amanda Peet’s tits.

RIP Chan Chan Man

[mchookem 16,838]

what a sad last decade he had.

you don't drown in a jacuzzi by accident. gotta be either substances or something like stroke/cardiac arrest that rendered him unconscious. terrible.

[Michael Knight 13,239]

Reportedly the last thing he did was play pickleball which seems like the whitest way to go

That's dark even for my standards. 

[Bevoette 1,508]

Our sources say he was found in a jacuzzi at the home ... 

 

I'm sad.

[ztejas 44,324]

I'm willing to believe he died clean. But your heart can only take so much - that shit catches up with you even if you quit sometimes. 

[Rimbo 27,252]

Sober people don't drown in a jacuzzi.

Addiction sucks ass.

RIP, Matt.

I don't know if Friends was mediocre. I didn't enjoy it, but that doesn't mean it was bad or anything.

You're an asshole.

But you're my kind of asshole.

Laughing so much at this.

Well, no. The last thing he did was drown.

I’m upset with myself for understanding this reference. RIP

Didn't he get fat later during the Friends run due to excessive drinking? Never really cared for the show, his character or the actor.

[mdmost 44,276]

Bummed about this. Older kid and I watch Friends and she loves MP. I always felt this might be his fate but I hate that she has to experience this type of loss. Guy was on top of the world for a time. We just watched Fools Rush In and will watch Whole Nine Yards pretty soon. He was the glue of that show for a time. Demons are hard to fight. RIP Matt.

[Surly Bevo 25,900]

Chandler's death has got me thinking about Jennifer Aniston's cold studio nips. So that's nice.

I know it's popular now to trash the show.  Was it the greatest comedy ever?  Nah?  But it was pretty solid, especially for the first 3-4 seasons and Perry's timing and snark were a reason it was.
