I mentioned this on another thread, but it’s worth repeating — he’d slur his words during interviews while claiming he was sober and then blame it on “recent dental work.” That was a huge red flag that he was an incorrigible addict.

Haven't really watched Friends as a kid, but I saw one interview with him on Graham Norton – the one where Miriam Margolyes called Marta Kauffman a cunt – and he seemed like a smug asshole. So this isn't at all surprising.

After the uproar about the Keanu slur in his book, he made a statement that he would remove it from subsequent printings. Someone asked if he'd spoken with Keanu about it, and he had not... Evidently, Keanu lives just a few blocks away from Perry's former home. Perry couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone or knock on Keanu's door to make an apology.

She was always the real cunt in most situations. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed her what he thought of her in the 90s:

During an interview on the “I’ve Got News For You” podcast last year, she said she disliked working with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the 1999 supernatural action movie “End of Days.” Schwarzenegger allegedly farted on Margolyes’ face in between filming takes. Margolyes said Schwarzenegger “deliberately” did it and she still hasn’t forgiven him.

“He’s a bit too full of himself and I don’t care for him at all. He’s a Republican, which I don’t like,” Margolyes said of Schwarzenegger. “He was actually quite rude. He farted in my face. Now, I fart, of course, I do — but I don’t fart in people’s faces. He did it deliberately, right in my face.”

Schwarzenegger never commented on the allegation.

It's odd how quickly this happened. In the months after he died, people were coming out of the woodwork to say what a funny, generous guy poor troubled "Matty" was. Did they have no sense of what was under the surface? Man, though, it sounds like the fellow never had a chance; I've never heard of such a lifelong, intractable, constantly relapsing drug addiction. I do feel sorry for him, but I think if he hadn't had all that money, he would have been dead decades ago. His money bought him many more years, given that he could go to rehab so many times, get medical care for all his horrible health problems (consequences), and have a safe and luxurious place to live the whole time.

Richard E.

I think people are tripping themselves up by using "Very, Incredibly, Undeniably" handsome. Just say handsome, which in some pictures he was, but not undeniably so. He was a comedic character actor with a comedic, expressive looking face which was handsome enough to be on the screen. He was never a beauty. I mean Matt LeBlanc was cast for his looks on the show, not Matt. Whereas Keanu Reeves could have been a model in his youth in any number of campaigns. You can't say the same for Matt Perry.

People are dropping like flies out there, as I type.

Fentanyl is literally killing people in droves, just here on the streets of LA.

Matthew was purchasing opiates and Ketamine, from wherever he could. He had girls/escorts on Raya running around town scoring g for him. If he hadn't died on October 28th, he would have died from an OD eventually. Probably soo er than later.

Ultimately, he decided it was easier to lie, than to fight for his life and well-being. No judgment from me. Just sadness.

It should not be said of anyone (ok, maybe Trump or someone similar), much less of a well beloved fellow actor. Despicable.

How long can a severe alcoholic expect their body to last before it gives out? Literally asking for a friend. I have a friend who is an alcoholic and has been since I have known him, which is about ten years now. I feel like I am just waiting for the news that he's dead. We would go out for drinks after work. In the time I had one drink, say 45 minutes, he would have three cranberry vodkas. He would have seven drinks in the time we were there. And then on his way home he would pick up a twelve pack of beer to take home with him which he would drink over the course of the night. He also uses coke, although supposedly he doesn't now - but I have no real reason to believe that now. He will be 52 this year and has lived this way his entire adult life.

Anyway, the coke thrown in there makes it worse. I'd say, within 5 years, he'll be in the hospital for something liver-related.

Or he'll get some shit laced with Fentanyl, & die before he ever experiences cardiovascular and/or liver related health issues, which is very likely, R120.

yeah, a friend my mine never grew up. She is still using coke too and drinks like a fish. She is in her 40s.

[quote]In what world would Matthew Perry be considered more attractive that Keanu Reeves?

Well, that's not exactly what I said. Actually I think MP had bland looks and KR has interesting looks. But I have never seen a picture of Keanu Reeves where I thought he was handsome, and that includes R80. Of course the fact that his hair has always looked unkempt and terrible doesn't help.

[quote] How long can a severe alcoholic expect their body to last before it gives out? Literally asking for a friend. I have a friend who is an alcoholic and has been since I have known him, which is about ten years now. I feel like I am just waiting for the news that he's dead. We would go out for drinks after work. In the time I had one drink, say 45 minutes, he would have three cranberry vodkas. He would have seven drinks in the time we were there. And then on his way home he would pick up a twelve pack of beer to take home with him which he would drink over the course of the night. He also uses coke, although supposedly he doesn't now - but I have no real reason to believe that now. He will be 52 this year and has lived this way his entire adult life. How much longer would you say he has?

It's impossible to say without knowing how long he had been doing that before you knew him, how old he is now, and what kind of health he's in otherwise.

R111 My alcoholic father made it to 62 — he was a heavy smoker as well. He started having serious health problems in his 40s iirc.

R125, what did he die from? Cirrhosis?

by Anonymousreply 126January 13, 2024 9:29 PM

I don't know what's more absurd: The fact that people are shocked by this, or the fact that people actually thought he was sober.

R126 Liver and lung cancer. He also had cirrhosis (for 20 years!).

Every body is different. My father’s alcoholism took him out at 50, I was only 25. My aunt’s narcotic addiction took her out at 75. So my father was a hardcore drinker who was likely physically addicted for 25 years. My aunt’s addiction was for over 50 years. I believe alcohol does damage more quickly than narcotics, so it explains why MP made it as long as he did.

I don't know why Matthew picked on Keanu. Keanu was also hooked on drugs and booze for a very long time. But he seems fine now...

by Anonymousreply 130January 13, 2024 10:37 PM

He was probably jealous of Keanu, who is a movie A-lister, despite being dopey.

Another 10 years or so, and he’ll probably die of a heart attack or liver failure unless he’s one of the lucky ones that are blessed with Teflon genes.

He was trying to sell limited-edition Chandler-inspired shirts a couple years ago, and his house doesn't seem to be in a wealthy neighborhood, so maybe he somehow ended up needing or worrying about money. I doubt it, but the shirt thing is kind of strange.

R145 didn’t the Friends cast make about $22M a year from residuals? He couldn’t have blown through that much cash even with that much of an addiction could he?

by Anonymousreply 149January 14, 2024 7:08 AM

I know an addict who doesn't just continue to attend NA, telling lies all the time about their "sobriety", they actually fucking sponsor young newbies as well. If they were famous, they too would no doubt write a book about their farce of a recovery, too.

Addicts lie and the ones who are narcissists as well will do anything for attention.

by Anonymousreply 150January 14, 2024 9:14 AM

R130, you just answered your own question. The only thing an addiction hates worse than being sober is someone else getting sober. Or worse, someone who can handle their drugs without turning into a tee-shirt peddling degenerate

Keanu has been very generous financially towards his colleagues. Notably so. WTF did Perry actually do for anyone?

He had the money to access the best possible rehabilitation facilities and he blew it. Drugs and alcohol bring out the worst in people.

I didn't know he was still making so much money every year. That was a dumb suggestion, then. I just threw it out there because it's curious that he bothered to write a confessional book about sobriety when he wasn't actually sober and that he was trying to sell those dumb shirts on his Instagram. But, yeah, he obviously wasn't desperate for money.

Keanu still looks wonderful - agree with others here that the beard and hair are not helping him, but his face is still remarkably handsome. The "splotchy skin" is just normal older skin that hasn't been photoshopped or filtered or troweled with five layers of man-makeup. He has no lines anywhere or even sagging. Damned impressive. He must have a clean lifestyle.

I can't help liking his lack of vanity, too.

Keanu has Asian genes. They don’t age until about 90 years old, then they turn tiny an wrinkly overnight.

He did not look healthy since the 90s. I don’t know what pot Jennifer Aniston was smoking. But get a new dealer.

R27, my dad was a drunk. He was an affable drunk who would go broke buying rounds for his friends and strangers. At home, sober he was a moody, selfish bully. Only we got to see this side of him. Addicts are good at duality.

by Anonymousreply 159January 14, 2024 2:40 PM

Yes, r159. Booze makes people moody, depressed and anxious. So, they drink more to stop feeling moody, depressed and anxious.

The first drink of the day gives a big dopamine rush. That’s what drunks are always after— that dopamine rush.

I’m sorry you had to deal with a dad like that.
