The death of Matthew Perry has shocked the world — but his constant struggles with drug addiction were on full display in an interview with Diane Sawyer last year — and they even discussed his impending doom.
Matthew Perry detailed his personal struggles with drug addiction in an interview with Diane Sawyer last year — and they even discussed his possible death.
The « Friends » star sat down with the legendary journalist to promote his memoir during an ABC News segment in October 2022 — and the conversation turned dark almost immediately.
Sawyer read a passage from the book titled, « Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir, » quoting Perry as saying, “My friends call me Matty and I should be dead. » With a serious, yet troubled look on his face, Perry responded, “That’s definitely true. »
Sawyer continued to quote from Perry’s book, asserting that addicts can only beat drug addiction with a healthy support group.
