Behind his affable onscreen persona, Perry struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol, particularly painkillers like Vicodin. He battled this addiction for years, even during his time on ‘Friends,’ leading to multiple stints in rehab. Perry openly shared the challenges he faced in a memoir released last year, shedding light on his weight fluctuations during the show.
Throughout his book promotion, Perry conducted emotional interviews, including one with Diane Sawyer, where he delved into the details of his struggles with addiction and the impact on his life.
