Marta Kauffman said she spoke to the actor just two weeks before he died.
Matthew Perry was “happy and chipper" and sober just weeks before his death, Friends creator Marta Kauffman has said.
She also said that he had given up smoking just weeks before his sad passing. Reflecting on how she felt when she learned of his death, she said: “I was just in utter shock. Perry was open about his battle with substance abuse and addiction and revealed in his recent memoir that he had spent millions of dollars trying to get sober, and had been to rehab at least 15 times.
He said: “I would say that’s probably true. Given the journey he’d been on – and we were all aware of it – there was always a part that was kind of bracing for something like this. Perry reunited on screen with his Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for a TV special in 2021, when Perry’s physical appearance sparked concern for many, including Kauffman.Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
