Matthew Perry Talks About Going To Rehab | Letterman

American's clap for anything

He was murdered by people he trusted who made $55,000 selling him ketamine, including his doctors and his personal assistant.

Read his book. It's too bad that he allowed the allure of fame to be the central focus of his life. And then once he had it, he quickly discovered that it wasn't going to fix the huge hole he had running right through him...his story is a cautionary tale of the price so many have paid for it. With their LIFE. So not worth it. He couldn't take the fame or wealth with him when he took his last breath in his jacuzzi...be very careful exactly what you wish for. And the saddest part is that he was so smart, disarming and funny as hell. He had so much left to give and now we'll never know what that was.

Smart, attractive, charismatic in front of people. I don't think any of us would want to witness Matthew Perry in private.

Miss you Matty.❤ You will help so many.

Handsome bloke.

Sad, pathetic loser. Wasn't even funny. 10 yrs on a ridiculously overrated show, with ridiculously overpaid actors. Nothing funny about him. Just sad.

People don’t understand the depression and anger with having to for 1 supply themselves with as much as he was doing everyday I mean that’s a headache of anger and frustration and then making everyone feel laughable at the same time is unreal

Not sure how he didn’t win an Emmy.

Such a loveable person -- and so talented!

I just finished listening to his audiobook this morning; 2 days of 8 plus hours listening to his life: good bad ugly and the ultimate tragedy that led to his death😢😢 he had some funny and sarcastic moments too but mostly downhill starting at 14 years of age when he had wine for the first time while still living in Canada…

God rest his soul. The man injected large doses of ketamine 27 times in his last 5 days alive. The last time he told his assistant to give him a really big shot while he was in his hot tub. Bad idea. Large doses of the drug will cause you to not be able to move your body. Shame on the dirty doctors that sold him the stuff and showed him how to inject it.

Truly a shame, MP destroyed himself on purpose!

He did look good here and looked like he was winning the fight with his demons, which makes me think that his death was an accident and not intentional. Such a naturally funny guy and likable. RIP

After reading his memoir, I can see here that he was not really proud of his addiction. He was embarrassed and uncomfortable just by talking about it. This interview took a lot of courage from him. True, he went into showbiz for fame. It became his downfall.

He was great until he wasn’t! His book is a real eye opener and has really helped me with my alcohol addiction. He helped a lot of people.

Dreamy 😍

Way Back before late night TV became nothing but political ...

Such a smart man.

Addiction does not discriminate.

I love you

I know he was supposed to say “I’m doing great now” but after listening to his audiobook it’s very obvious that he wasn’t doing great at all, or at least not for a very long time. It’s crazy how addiction works with people who are só prone to it. He lost so much over it, had to reach rock bottom to stop drinking and rock bottom again to stop taking opioids. And then in the end the one drug of which he said in his book “this wasn’t for me” (ketamine) was ironically the one that killed him (combined with the health issues he had). It’s so sad 😞

Who else is here because you're reading the book?

Sobriety is a tricky thing.

Man, he was on top of the world there. He had it all.

Well he really wasn’t 100% sober at that time took him almost 15 years after this to get help for good, just sad.

People can't stop staring at you cause your beautiful ❤️

Addiction is real but it can be exacerbated by a broken heart. I started going of the rails after years of drinking into serious addiction after severe rejection and romantic humiliation. People who are addicted are hurting. They have recent trauma or old trauma or accumulated trauma. It's the driver of the addiction, and then the physical addiction to alcohol itself then takes root

Oozing disingenuousness

Hope people hear the subtext on every single word... He is not allowed to straight out say the truth about whats going on in the country at the moment

how ironic...he craved fame as a boy

Wish I had these nice comments about my demons

“I know I didn’t go into acting for money, I think primarily I went into it for the attention” gets me after reading the book

I read his book, moved me. I use it when I want to drink. I can relate a lot to his story, minus the money and the memories.

I've read his book. He's being very truthful here. I wish I appreciated him when he was here with us.

How could he have never won an Emmy?? He so deserved it! 💔

Handsome ❤

With the glasses on he looks like a young Joe Scarborough. He looks so great here, imagine if he had never relapsed. Such a tragedy.

God, he was so fine here 😭

He DEFINITELY IS MISSED 😢

He's such a lovable person, hope he knew that ❤

Mathew was and will always be an amazing human being that has impacted so many lives for the better. So incredibly sad with his passing. RIP @mathewperry

He was so incredibly attractive and charismatic. I cry every time I watch an interview. The ideal laid-back guy. Sooo good looking and cute. And funny and sweet, intelligent....ohhh what a loss. 😢

Matthew is so damn funny! We need him here! Fly Matthew. 😢

Bnjj

So handsome, so funny, so talented. ❤

We miss you already

Shame he passed away so close to Steven Tyler's Guinness book of world records for most rehabs 🤣
