He made sarcasm an art form. And for a decade, he was one of the most recognisable faces on television. But behind the timing, the charm, and the Chandler Bing smirk was a man at war with himself. This week on Dead Famous, we’re tracing Matthew Perry’s rise from insecure kid actor to sitcom royalty, through the money, the mansions, the rehab revolving door, and the brutal honesty of his later years. We unpack the addiction that nearly killed him more than once, the near-fatal medical crisis that left him fighting for his life, and the complicated truth about his final days.
