Matthew Perry may be best known for his role as Chandler on Friends, but he’s nothing like what you see on the small screen these days.
He was considered one of the sexiest actors in Hollywood, in love with famous women such as Yasmin Blythe, Julia Roberts and Lizzy Kaplan, but a recent photo with Matthew Perry shocked his fans.
The person became unrecognizable. If you passed him on the street, you wouldn’t know who he is. The famous actor lost his fight with the pounds and gained a lot of weight. Four months after Friends: Reunion, the actor was photographed in Malibu.
He was caught by paparazzi waiting for his car to pull up to the entrance of a famous street restaurant with his stomach and shoulders tense without realizing it.
The last few years have not been kind to Perry and have left their mark on his body. Two years ago he was on the verge of death from a perforated intestine, known as a ruptured intestine.
But doctors intervened quickly and saved his life. In addition, he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and is trying to fight the disease. The actor has spoken publicly about his battle with drug addiction and his long-term recovery.
Perry is best known for his 1997 and 2001 Vicodin addiction programs. He admitted that he has little recollection of filming the three seasons of Friends.
In 2013, Perry opened up about her struggles with alcohol and drugs and said she had won her battle with addiction.
“Most often it was alcohol and opiates. I think I hid quite well, but in the end, people realized, “he told Abc News.
