To overcome his addiction to alcohol and drugs, he spent almost 10 million dollars (about 10 million euros).
In an interview with the New York Times, Perry said he was drug-free for 18 months. “I probably spent $ 9 million on something, just to be clear,” Perry estimated.
The 53-year-old actor recently detailed his years-long history with substance abuse, which began when he first tried alcohol at the age of 14. He later became addicted to opioids, which resulted in a near-fatal accident in 2019.
“The doctors explained to my family that I had a 2% chance of survival,” Perry said.
“I was put on out-of-body life support, which no one survives.” Perry was in a coma for two weeks and had to wear an ostomy bag for a year. “My therapist said, ‘The next time you think about oxycodone, imagine you have to carry a bag around your body for the rest of your life. And that got me thinking,” Perry admitted in an interview with People.
