  1. As someone who is the funny guy with addiction issues and recovering, this hit close to home and broke my heart.

  2. Rip Mathew Perry 😔😔😢😢

  3. Massive Friends fan here, but I love how American journalists portray the cast as genius for negotiating collectively. In Europe it's a simple concept called "unionizing": you negotiate as a group instead of alone, and there's really nothing ground-breaking about it. Maybe one day Americans will understand common-sense practices…

  4. there's a passage in his book that gave me actual chills. he wrote “i could have a cigarrete right now, have a heart attack, and if no one was around to call 911, i was a goner.”.

  5. The Whole Nine Yards is 😂😂😂
    I grieve. I will for much longer. But I will be here to laugh once again with him. 😢

  6. Turns out they were bad friends. Such a tight knit family but a stranger found his body? I am sure the family will show up for the will

  7. As an actor I know how hard it is to finish a show/performance and it’s agonizing because you go into the psychological state where you are your character not who you are. You build this entire family, relationships and it’s absolutely depressing especially for someone who did this for a decade with the same cast. You are literally living a life that not your own and become attached. And then one day you leave and finish. This is one of the reasons why soooo many actors go into addictions.

  8. I was volunteering in a woman’s center for addiction, this girl told me crying “How I wish I never tried it”
    I asked her what advice would she give to other girls; she replied: “Don’t ever try drugs because you would like it”
    People should be horrified terrified of drugs, talk to kids about it, show them what addiction does to a human.
    Don’t start please!
    Don’t say you need it to cope, GOD there for you call on Him trust Him, He will take care of you. 🙏🏼❤️

  9. My gut tells me he was really struggling. RIP MattMan
