Matthew Perry’s memoir has been a sensation since his tragic death in October 2023.
In 2022, the 54-year-old actor published his book Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, in which he discussed his acting career, relationships, and struggles with addiction.
According to PEOPLE, over 2.5 million copies have been sold to date.
In an earlier interview with the site, Matthew stated, “I wanted to share when I was secure from sliding into the dark side of everything again. I was fairly positive it will help individuals.”
Sharing his experiences with drug misuse, the Friends alum told how he ended up in a hospital for five months when his colon burst due to opioid overuse, which led to a two-week coma.
Before his death on October 28, 2023, Matthew had expressed his desire to establish a foundation to support people suffering from addiction.
An organisation was established under his name on November 3 with the goal of “identifying addiction as a disease, addressing the complex of stigmas that prevents individuals from seeking and accessing care.
