The star of the “Friends” series has spent 10 million in the fight against addictions

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.
