Matthew Perry’s untimely death ends his struggle with addiction and the fear of love

End. The life of one of the most popular actors on American television ended without a happy ending. The death of Matthew Perry, 54, Chandler of ‘Friends’, concludes a story that could become a film or even a series, with a lot of drama and humor. The too-soon outcome was almost predictable in a trajectory of so much excess.

As reported in the biographical book “Friends, Love and That Terrible Thing”, he confronted the other cast members of the legendary series at the end of the recording of the fifth season, in 1999. His physical and mental state was deplorable.

He could no longer hide his addiction to drugs, alcohol and painkillers. He has spent practically half his life struggling daily to stay sober. There were several hospitalizations for detox and relapses. Ups and downs that stole your health and beauty.

Parallel to the hell of addictions, he fought another internal demon: the fear of love and abandonment. I have never married. He has had countless relationships and even commitments, yet his insecurity has kept him from doing so.

Like what happened in his love affair with the star Julia Roberts, between 1996 and 1997. He was involved, but repeated the same pattern of behavior in previous and subsequent relationships: finding some reason to break up for fear that his partner took the initiative to break up. stand up and make him feel rejected.

Perry died as he lived: alone. The lifeless discovery in the bathtub at home reinforces the profile of a lone star. Coincidentally, in the latest post on his Instagram feed, Perry appears in a hot tub, perhaps the same one in which he died. “Does swirling water feel good?” he asked in the photo caption. “I’m Mattman.”
