The unbreakable connection between George Clooney and Matthew Perry
George Clooney, interviewed by Deadline, shared the pain of seeing Matthew Perry struggles with alcohol and drug problems during the filming of “ER” and “Friends”. The two actors, busy on adjacent sets, maintained a strong connection, but happiness eluded Perry despite achieving his dream of starring in a hit sitcom.
A friendship that spans time

Clooney said that Perry, despite the desire to be part of a sitcom, he couldn’t find happiness even after getting the role of Chandler Bing in “Friends”.

However, reality proved the opposite, as Clooney himself admitted: “Seeing him arrive at the studios – I also recorded at Warner Bros. nearby – was hard, because we didn’t know what was happening to him. We just knew he wasn’t happy.” This highlights the difficulty of perceiving personal struggles behind the limelight.
George Clooney: Success does not guarantee inner happiness
George pointed out that Perry’s success on “Friends” didn’t bring the joy he hoped for: “Success, money and the like do not automatically give you happiness. You have to be happy with yourself and your life.” This crucial theme highlights the need for personal happiness regardless of public recognition.
