Matthew Perry flashes smile after opening up about addiction struggles in book

Matthew Perry was all smiles yesterday after opening up about his battles with addiction in a revealing interview with US TV host Diane Sawyer.

The Friends actor, 53, recently sat down with journalist Sawyer and openly discussed his lengthy struggles with substance abuse that began in the 1990s.

Perry, who played Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom for 10 years, revealed in the interview that he attended thousands of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

He also explained in the hour-long discussion that his weight fluctuated during his years on Friends based on his addictions at the time.

‘When I’m carrying weight, it’s alcohol. When I’m skinny, it’s pills,’ he told ABC News’ Nightline programme.
