Life of Friends star Matthew Perry was a tale of two halvesBy Ellie Iorizzo, Los Angeles CorrespondentMatthew Perry was the star of era-defining sitcom Friends, but behind the scenes his life was dogged with addiction. Massachusetts-born Perry grew up in Canada where he attended school with Justin Trudeau – who is now the country’s prime minister. At one point during his time on Friends, Perry said he was taking 55 Vicodin painkillers a day and was down to 128lb – just over 9st – in weight. He joined his former co-stars for the highly awaited Friends reunion special in May 2021. He featured in The Whole Nine Yards, and The Kid with Bruce Willis – who was a guest star in the sixth series of Friends.
