  He felt like he didn’t matter to his parents. That affected him to the core.

  As a Canadian who also drank copious amounts of Baby Duck wine and am currently living in recovery, Matthew's story is so real.  Forever grateful he told his story. He will forever be remembered.  RIP, Matthew.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS3ObPjJpm4&amp;t=59">0:59</a> - the confirmation that it was David who told them to stick together. I knew David was always a lovely person but it&apos;s great to hear it directly from the source. David didn&apos;t want to have the highest salary because he knew the success of the show is all of them together. And it was back in the 90s when especially lead male actors very rarely recognized that women co-stars should earn the same money. David is admirable and a true friend.

  It&apos;s important to talk about addiction and to raise awareness. He&apos;s in a powerful position to talk about this and I&apos;m grateful for that.

  I’m crying. I’m not one to care about celeb lives but FRIENDS was my entire childhood. &nbsp;<br><br>In addition, as someone who has been battling depression &amp; alcoholism for 5+ years now… the feeling of being in a room full of love yet somehow feeling alone, not good enough and the way he so accurately describes detoxes.. &nbsp;this hits home😭<br><br>RIP Matthew. Thank you for bringing us so much joy and laughter. We love you.

  The way they all stuck with him, amazing. I’m a former addict, well, recovering addict. Watching him tell this makes me tear up.😢<br>I know exactly what he’s talking about. Addiction can happen to anyone.

  Top bloke. Sometimes when people talk about these subjects, they can come across as smitten or snobby, but you can tell he&apos;s a genuine person. RIP mate.

  “this must be what normal people feel” as a &nbsp;recovered addict that resonates so much. i think so much loneliness and pain is what leads to taking a drug or drink that makes you feel like “everyone else”. it was the same exact thing with me. i hated myself but this stimulant made me feel unstoppable

  Probably the only celebrity I cried over when he passed. He was so honest and passionate about his disease

  Unanswerable questions? I heard an answer in the first 3.5 minutes! Divorce leaves marks well into adulthood though no one likes to say it. May this man be blessed and find peace in his heart.❤
