Matthew Perry, the actor who played Chandler in the popular show Friends, passed away at the age of 54, leaving the entertainment world in sadness. People from all around the world are sharing their love and memories for him.
Now, we’ve learned that Matthew’s book, “Friends, Lovers, and Big Terrible Thing,” has become the top-selling book on Amazon. This happened after the sad news of his death on a Saturday afternoon.
Matthew Perry wrote the book himself, and it first came out on November 1, 2022. A big part of his memoir, nearly 250 pages, talks about his battle with addiction.
In his memoir, Matthew shared his personal life, his acting career, and his time working on Friends. He was very open about his struggles with substance abuse. Last year, in an interview, he mentioned that the book was a way for him to cope with the uncomfortable and agitated feelings he was experiencing at that time.
After years of struggling, Matthew successfully embraced a sober lifestyle and even turned to pickleball to help him stay on the right path.
Matthew had a dream of creating a foundation to support people dealing with addiction. Although he couldn’t bring this dream to life during his lifetime, sources say that his close friends have decided to establish the foundation in his memory.
