Review: In Matthew Perry’s memoir, a need for fame leads to 65 rehab stints

” His struggles played out in front of millions of viewers every week. He writes, “You can track the trajectory of my addiction if you gauge my weight from season to season — when I’m carrying weight, it’s alcohol; when I’m skinny, it’s pills. When I have aThe book arrives at a strange time, as our understanding of addiction grows and our tolerance for the problems of rich White men shrinks.

In a pattern that continues to this day, Perry, who longs for a family, falls for a series of perfectly suitable potential wives, but rejects them before they can reject him. He even dated Julia Roberts, who would appear in a Season 2 post-Super Bowl episode, after courting her by fax. When he broke up with her two months later, she stared at him uncomprehendingly, as if such a thing had never happened before.

Perry, of course, became rich and famous, while Bierko — poor Craig Bierko! — became a trivia question. In one of the book’s most wince-inducing passages, the men, estranged for years, reunite. Bierko admits to feeling jealous of Perry, who explains that fame doesn’t fix a person anyway, which Perry treats as a major revelation even though any reader of even one celebrity memoir has figured this out. Bierko does not appear to find this helpful.

Guy just had enough money to stay alive until he could recover.

Who ?

After the first 30 times in rehab shouldn't they've told him 'sorry dude, it's not that you can't be helped, but you refuse to do what it takes to be helped.'

Ouch

Hope he has smoother happier days ahead.

Yeah, no one cares about this guy. Especially not after his Keanu comments.

That’s an interesting spin🤷‍♀️

Hope he’s doing well these days.

Nobody cares.
