‘FRIENDS’ STAR MATTHEW PERRY’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY TO BE OUT IN AUTUMN 2022

There’s good news for fans of the immensely popular and hit sitcom Friends. Matthew Perry is all set to share his story in an autobiography. The currently untitled book will be published by Hachette India in Autumn 2022. In his book, Perry takes readers behind the scenes and onto the soundstage of the most successful sitcom of all time while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. Candid, self-aware and told with his trademark humour, Perry vividly details his lifelong battle with the disease and what fueled it, despite seemingly having it all.  “Perry’s memoir, the first from a cast member of Friends, is unflinchingly honest, delightfully gossipy, and absolutely hilarious. This is the book that Friends fans have been waiting for but also one that shines a powerful light into the dark for anyone who is in their own battle with addiction, either for themselves or a loved one,” the publisher said in a statement. 

Perry said: “There has been so much written about me by others in the past. I thought it was time people heard it directly from the horse’s mouth. In this case, the horse’s mouth being me.” The Canadian-American actor is also an executive producer and comedian best known for his role as Chandler Bing in Friends, the Emmy nominated Quincy Jones from The West Wing, and Dr Nicholas “Oz” Oseransky from The Whole Nine Yards.

There has been so much written about me by others in the past. I thought it was time people heard it directly from the horse’s mouth. In this case, the horse’s mouth being me. — Matthew Perry
