NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Matthew Perry has revealed that a major health scare forced him to drop out of acting opposite Meryl Streep in Adam McKay’s star-studded, world-ending satire Don’t Look Up, after his heart ‘stopped beating for five minutes’.
He has now acknowledged it as ‘the biggest movie I’ve ever gotten’ and would have marked his return to the big screen for the first time since 2009’s comedy 17 Again with Zac Efron.
The Friends star was first reported to be a member of the sprawling cast in October 2020, and even confirmed his involvement in a rare series of excited tweets that same month.
When it was released, fans were anticipating him making some sort of appearance, especially following a picture of him on set filming in Boston, Massachusetts being released in December 2020.
