An unexpected feud? Matthew Perry‘s history with Keanu Reeves became a topic of conversation following the release of Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.
Matthew Perry Recalls Exiting ‘Don’t Look Up’ After His Heart Stopped Beating for 5 Minutes: ‘Biggest Movie I’d Gotten Ever’
26.10.2022 - 22:05 / usmagazine.com
A missed opportunity. Matthew Perry landed a role in the 2021 Netflix film Don’t Look Up but had to exit the project due to a health scare.
In his upcoming memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry, 53, details his decades-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction and the resulting medical complications. According to Rolling Stone, the Friends alum writes that he spent time at a rehab center in Switzerland amid the filming of Don’t Look Up.
During his stay, he was administered the anesthesia drug propofol before a surgery to help with his stomach pain. The 17 Again actor also had hydrocodone in his system as the time, and the combination of drugs had serious consequences.
“I was given the shot at 11:00 A.M. I woke up eleven hours later in a different hospital. Apparently, the propofol had stopped my heart. For five minutes. It wasn’t a heart attack — I didn’t flatline — but nothing had been beating,” Perry writes, per the outlet.
The Massachusetts native then quips that his role on a certain famous sitcom might be the reason he survived the close call. “I was told that some beefy Swiss guy really didn’t want the guy from Friends dying on his table and did CPR on me for the full five minutes, beating and pounding my chest,” he writes. “If I hadn’t been on Friends, would he have stopped at three minutes? Did Friends save my life again?”
Although the Whole Nine Yards star lived to tell the tale, he didn’t come out of the experience unscathed. “He may have saved my life, but he also broke eight of my ribs,” Perry writes, noting that he was in too much pain after the incident to continue filming the apocalyptic satire film.
The Odd Couple alum called the decision to step back from “the biggest move I’d gotten
