  The fact he talks about wanting to be a father truly breaks my heart. Rest easy, Matty 💔

  Isn't it strange how when society judges those on the streets strung out and addicted.  Society calls them junkies and etc. Yet we have actors and actresses who come out as addicts and we say oh how sorry we are. Yet we don't give those on the streets the same compassion.

  “You have the desperation of a drowning man”... Truly breaks the heart 💔 So poignant.. Still haven't fully processed that he is no longer here.. Gone too soon.. What a benevolent soul.. 💕

  I'm glad he got to the place he was here. He got to write his book and share his story before he passed. He's going to help so many more people and got to say everything about his struggles. I'm sad he never got to experience the joy of being a father. Rest in peace, Matthew Perry.

  As heartbreaking as it is to watch this now, it's nice to know he'd finally found some peace and was seemingly in a good place. RIP.

  I read his book and he went through hell.  A cautionary tale.  Matthew was so authentic.  He’s helped so many.  His inner child was so hurting. A beautiful soul Rip Matty.

  My heart is broken. I wanted a different ending, a long life with peace and happiness for him. He suffered so much, I wanted him to have the Hollywood happy ending.

  I was his stand in day one 1994 august warner brothers. I'll never forget the first taping and thinking OMG..... "these guys will be the biggest stars in tv". Matthew and I played tennis and paddle tennis together and standing in for him on a canadian commercial he drove us there in his porsche and I asked how it all felt 9 months into the success and he said "all my dreams came true at 25 and I'm not happy"......A moment that this press tour reminds me of......I have struggled with drugs and alcohol as well. Haven't seen him in years but I admire his courage here despite critics. Brave man. Bravo MP

  He wanted to be a father...little did he know he was a father to his inner child. He never gave up on himself. He fought for his life. He was there for little Matty when no one else was. He knew little Matty better than anyone. He overcame so much. He was a great father to his inner child and that's an achievement not often credited. ❤
