“Friends” creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane said they learned of Matthew Perry’s addiction while they were shooting the beloved sitcom.
“By the time we became aware of it, we were already a family on a lot of levels,” said Crane, 67.“There was a point where we said to him: ‘Do you want to stop ?’ And he was adamantly like: ‘No, this is really important to me,’ ” Crane recalled.
“You can track the trajectory for my addiction if you gauge my weight from season to season,” Perry wrote in his book.. He shared he was “driven back to the treatment center … in a pickup truck helmed by a sober technician” right after the scene wrapped.As he recounted in his book, Perry went to rehab 15 times and had undergone 14 surgeries to try and mitigate the damage done to his stomach lining due to alcohol and opioid use.
