Hollywood star , while promoting his new movie 'The Boys in the Boat,' opened up about his friendship with the late actor . He has revealed that despite the fame and success starring in got Perry, it didn't get him happiness, due to his struggles with addiction.
Clooney took a trip down memory lane and recalled the time he first met Perry, 바카라I knew Matt when he was 16 years old. We used to play paddle tennis together. He바카라s about 10 years younger than me. He was a great, funny, funny, funny kid.바카라
He further revealed that Perry's dream was to star in a sitcom, which he did accomplish as Chandler Bing in 'Friends.' "He was a kid and all he would say to us, I mean me, Richard Kind and Grant Heslov, was, 바카라I just want to get on a sitcom, man. I just want to get on a regular sitcom and I would be the happiest man on earth,'" Clooney said.
바카라And he got on probably one of the best ever. He wasn바카라t happy. It didn바카라t bring him joy or happiness or peace,바카라 he added.
Clooney explained that despite the fact that the two worked side by side every day, he had no idea about his condition. Clooney was filming 'ER' at the time, and Perry was filming 'Friends.' "And watching that go on on the lot 바카라 we were at Warner Brothers, we were there right next to each other 바카라 it was hard to watch because we didn바카라t know what was going through him."
"We just knew that he wasn바카라t happy and I had no idea he was doing, what, 12 Vicodin a day and all the stuff he talked about, all that heartbreaking stuff. And it also just tells you that success and money and all those things, it doesn바카라t just automatically bring you happiness," he added. "You have to be happy with yourself and your life."
Despite Perry's battle with substance abuse during his time on 'Friends,' he always spoke highly of the impact of the role he played, and how it got him and his co-stars -- Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer -- fame and success. "It changed my life in every way. I got the show when I was a 24-year-old man; the show ended when I was 34. It formed my life. And it was the time of my life," Perry had previously told PEOPLE.
On October 28, at the age of 54, Perry was found dead at his residence. The autopsy report indicated that his passing resulted from a combination of drowning, ketamine and buprenorphine.
