“Friends” actor Matthew Perry feels “grateful to be a live” after a lengthy battle with addiction and repeated trips to rehab, he said in a new interview.
Perry, who starred as the witty Chandler Bing on the New York City-set sitcom, says he was given a 2% chance of survival after his colon burst as the result of opioid use, according to People.
“I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs,” Perry, 53, told the magazine. “And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.”
