Friends star Matthew Perry’s enduring commitment to help those battling addiction is being honored with the creation of the Matthew Perry Foundation. Guided by his own experiences and words, the foundation aims to make a lasting impact on the lives of those struggling with addiction.
In the wake of Matthew Perry’s tragic passing at his Pacific Palisades home, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed there were no signs of foul play. His untimely demise saddened fans worldwide, but it is his legacy of laughter and compassion that will be remembered.
Warner Bros. Television, the studio behind the iconic series “Friends,” expressed profound grief at the loss of their dear friend. Perry’s comedic genius left an indelible mark, and his impact transcended borders. In the midst of mourning, the studio extended their condolences to his family, loved ones, and devoted fans.
Matthew Perry’s mission to prioritize helping others over fame is epitomized by a quote he once shared, “When I die, I don’t want ‘Friends’ to be the first thing that’s mentioned — I want helping others to be the first thing that’s mentioned.” The establishment of The Matthew Perry Foundation aligns with this vision, recognizing the collective strength required to combat addiction. As Perry said, “Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down.”
