Matthew Perry returned to rehab after marrying Monika in “Friends”


Matthew Perry considered returning to rehab after filming the iconic “Friends” scene at the “high point” of his career.

Actor said the New York Times on Sunday that his character, Chandler Bing, married Monica Gellar, played by Courteney Cox, in the NBC season 7 finale, before being “driven back to the treatment center … in a pickup truck driven by a sober technician.”

Perry added: “[I was] at the top of my highest point in “Przyjaciółki”, the highest point in my career, an iconic moment in a cult series.

The 53-year-old star of “Fools Rush In” spoke to the magazine about “exhausting” opioid addiction, promoting her upcoming memories “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.”

Perry “would wake up and have to get 55 Vicodin that day and figure out how to do it,” he explained.

“When you’re a drug addict, it’s all about math,” said the graduate of Odd Couple. “I wasn’t doing this to get high or to feel good. I was certainly not a party animal; I just wanted to sit on the couch, take five Vicodin and watch a movie. It was heaven for me. It’s not anymore.

The star of “17 again” notes in her book that “there is hell,” according to the publication.

“Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise,” Perry reportedly writes. “I’ve been there; there is; end of discussion.”

Alum “Go On” gave more insight into his struggle with addiction on Sunday, from Jennifer Aniston confronting him about alcohol abuse to spending nearly $ 9 million on “trying to sober up.”

Perry “almost died” a few years ago when his colon ruptured, and having to use a colostomy bag to hold his stools helped him sober up.

“My therapist said,” Next time you think about taking OxyContin, just think about having a colostomy pouch for the rest of your life. ” Sunshine alum, which has been pure for 18 months, told People magazine Thursday.

“And a little window opened and I crawled through it and I don’t want oxykontin anymore.”

Regarding his future, Perry is open to marriage and having children. “I think I would be a great father,” he said on Sunday.

An Emmy nominee proposed Molly Hurwitz in 2020, but the literary director broke off the engagement the following year.
