Matthew Perry has revealed he would routinely raid bathroom cabinets while viewing houses in the hopes of finding prescription drugs.
The actor, 53, opened up about his battle with addiction in a new interview, admitting it got so bad during the height of his fame playing Chandler Bing on Friends that he would steal drugs from open houses.
He told ABC’s Diane Sawyer: ‘On Sundays, I would go to open houses and go to the bathrooms in the open house and see what pills they had in there and steal them.
‘And I think they thought, “Well, there’s no way that Chandler came in and stole from us.”‘
Matthew has been open about his battles with alcohol and drugs in his new memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, and claimed people could tell which phase of his addiction he was in from his weight and facial hair on Friends.
