The Rollercoaster Life of Matthew Perry: Fame, Struggle, and Resilience
A Lifelong Battle
In November 2020, during a rehab stint, Matthew experienced a critical moment when his heart stopped for five minutes. This was due to a severe reaction between propofol, administered by doctors, and the hydrocodone in his system. His life was saved by CPR, but the intense effort resulted in eight broken ribs.
This incident led to him missing scenes with Meryl Streep in the film “Don’t Look Up.” Matthew’s struggle with addiction has been a long and dangerous journey. He began dealing with alcohol at 14, developed a dependence on opiates, and spent around $9 million in his efforts to achieve sobriety.
