Matthew Perry had recently embarked on a tour to promote his memoir, ‘Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,’ where he candidly discussed the challenges that accompanied his meteoric rise to fame and the battles with addiction that ensued during his time on Friends.

While Chandler Bing may be etched into our memories, Perry’s on-screen legacy extends beyond the confines of Central Perk. His success extended to the big screen, notably with the hit comedy ‘The Whole Nine Yards,’ where he starred alongside Bruce Willis as a dentist who discovers his neighbor’s dark secret.
