It was bittersweet and touching as their lifelong bond will never fade. For Matthew Perry, it was extraordinarily emotional. He almost started to cry. On HBO’s Friends special, he said: “If either of us ran into each other at a party or a social event after the show ended, that was the end of it.
‘That was the end of that night. I sat with that person all night and that was it. “I apologized to the people I was with, but they had to understand that they had met someone special for me.

As a salesman, Perry always went to work and cracked jokes, but outside of work his addiction worsened.
“I had this weird rule of never drinking on set,” Perry told The New York Times. ‘I would go to work hungover, and it was horrible to be in that kind of mood and have to work and be funny on top of it. In an interview with the BBC, Perry revealed that he “doesn’t remember the three years” he filmed Friends while struggling with addiction.
“It was somewhere between season three and season six. As mentioned, the cast became a family. It was therefore easy to recognize that something was wrong with Perry and take action. At one point Matthew Perry was taking 55 Vicodin tablets a day and weighed 128 kg. He didn’t know how to stop.

Perry said. ‘So it was a little difficult to go to work.
Nothing happened between them, but the actors still promised not to date or hang out with each other. ‘It was really important for the six of us to keep our friendship, to be friends. ‘If we started dating or something weird happened, it could ruin everything,’ Perry told Access in 2021.
‘We weren’t equipped to deal with that. Matthew has always held a big place in Jennifer Aniston’s heart. She played a key role by trying to help him as much as she could, and in a 2004 interview with Diane Sawyer, Aniston broke down in tears when talking about the ‘idea of losing’ Matthew Perry.
‘He was suffering,’ Aniston said, referring to Perry’s struggle with addiction. ‘We didn’t know. No one had ever dealt with it and we never thought we would lose him. …… Sadly, Aniston’s worst fears came true when Matthew Perry was found dead at his home in Pacific Palisades, California, on October 28.

A source said: ‘The real pain was that he was with her almost every step of the way. They had high hopes for Matthew’s comeback and had talked about working on a new script together. But even Jen knows that it’s not Matthew who died, it’s his body”. “She knows he wanted to live.
She could have given more. He is very traumatized and it will take a long time to recover. It will never be perceived that she didn’t do everything in her power to save him, but she really did.
