Matthew Perry Wishes Friends Cast ‘would See Each Other More’

It seems that all Matthew Perry wants to do is catch up with his friends.

The 53-year-old recently expressed his wishes to meet up with the Friends cast, after being asked about his current relationship with former co-star Jennifer Aniston.

After telling Access Hollywood that Aniston is, “Wonderful, she’s terrific,” he mentioned, “We don’t see each other as much. I wish the group would see each other more times, but she’s the greatest.”

The Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing author recently revealed that a pivotal moment in his sobriety journey was being confronted by Aniston on the set of Friends.

In his book, he details how the actress, 53, visited him at his trailer to tell him, “I know you’re drinking.”

“I had long since gotten over her – ever since she started dating Brad Pitt, I was fine – and had worked out exactly how long to look at her without it being awkward, but still, to be confronted by Jennifer Aniston was devastating. And I was confused,” he continued in an excerpt published by the Times of London.

“‘How can you tell?’ I said. I never worked drunk. ‘I’ve been trying to hide it…’”

“‘We can smell it,’ she said, in a kind of weird but loving way, and the plural ‘we’ hit me like a sledgehammer,” Perry recalled in his memoir.

“‘I know I’m drinking too much,’ I said, ‘but I don’t exactly know what to do about it.’”

The actor also gave kudos to his castmates for helping him through those difficult times.

He described in his book how they would “group around [him] and prop [him] up” like an injured penguin being supported by the other penguins.

“I was the injured penguin, but I was determined to not let these wonderful people, and this show, down,” he wrote.
