Matthew Perry is continuing to share candid moments about his addictions in new excerpts from his book and an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer.
"I was the injured penguin, but I was determined to not let these wonderful people, and this show, down," he wrote."'We can smell it,' she said, in a kind of weird but loving way, and the plural 'we' hit me like a sledgehammer," Perry wrote.The "Whole Nine Yards" star also describes in the new book how his weight fluctuated wildly due to the pills making him sick and alleviating his appetite, or alcohol causing him to be bloated.
Perry even referenced specific points in the hit show's 10-season run and clued readers in to what was going on with his addiction at that time. The actor recently said he is finally ready to share his experiences now that he is safely on the other side of addiction.
