Season seven of ‘Friends’ was not a smooth run for Matthew Perry due to his alcohol addiction and recovery. Perry noted in his memoir, Aniston alongside Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer supported him throughout his yearslong scrabble with drug and alcohol abuse.
A source revealed to Daily Mail “that nobody shed more tears for Matthew during the darkest points of his struggles with addiction than Jennifer” adding “the actress genuinely thought his worst days were behind him.” So the news of Perry’s death two years later was undoubtedly the iceberg, Aniston never saw crashing into.
In 2004, shortly before filming the ‘Friends’ series finale, Jennifer Aniston broke down in tears discussing Perry with Diane Sawyer. “He struggled,” Aniston shared. “We didn’t know. We weren’t equipped to deal with it. Nobody had ever dealt with that. And the idea of even losing him … he’s having a road. But he’s all right.”
