Job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA.
Matthew Perry, aka Chandler from the hit sitcom Friends, couldn’t have related to any of the above. Yet, behind his success was a battle with alcoholism, one that would eventually claim his life three years ago. Releasing tomorrow, a new documentary, The One About Matthew Perry will offer a glimpse into the actor’s life. “Matthew had an intense ambition for fame, which could not fix the deep emptiness he felt inside once he achieved it,” his sister Mia Perry reveals in the trailer.
