Even though he had friends like Jennifer Aniston who encouraged him to get help for his addiction struggles (per Us Weekly) and people like Courteney Cox who said that he changed her entire personality, Matthew Perry knew that his death wouldn’t be that much of a shocker for his loved ones. That’s because everyone in his inner circle knew about his struggles. In his book, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Perry’s quote about why he wanted to write his book definitely hits differently now after his death. According to the New York Post, he wrote, “I say in the book that if I did die it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody. And that’s what I’m doing with writing this book. That’s why I wanted to do it.”
But Perry also added that he wrote his book because he wanted his fans to know that they weren’t alone, especially when it came to their darkest days and even darkest hours. With that said, Perry certainly wasn’t alone, either.
