Friends Reunion star Matthew Perry has garnered a seven-figure publishing deal to write his autobiography.
The most controversial of the six lead Friends castmates has decided it is time to tell his own story and to quash the rumors, skewed stories and flat out lies that have been told about him, his career, and- most sensationally- his drug addiction.
“There has been so much written about me by others in the past,” Perry said to PEOPLE magazine. “I thought it was time people heard it directly from the horse’s mouth. In this case, the horse’s mouth being me.”
Matthew Perry Writing Autobiography, Wants to Quash Rumors
The book, which has yet to be titled, will be published by Flatiron book in the fall of 2022.  The book publishers believe the seven figure sum that they have agreed to pay Perry will be well worth it.
“We need humor, we need catharsis, and we need to agree on something–and Matthew’s extraordinary story, told in his inimitable voice, is that thing,” said Perry’s publisher. She went on to say the book will have the power to bring people together, a much needed attribute in the current climate of “isolation and division.”
Perry has disappeared somewhat since his breakout role of Chandler Bing in arguably the 90’s biggest sitcom, Friends. He has played lead role in other short lived sitcoms, like the Odd Couple reboot with Thomas Lennon, dramas like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip with Brad Whitford and movies, like the Whole Nine Yards with Bruce Willis, however, until the Friends reunion aired on HBO Max earlier this year, the 57 year old actor had been laying low for many years.
During the reunion, Perry surprised even his co-stars as he spoke of the levels of anxiety he felt to get the laughs from the Friends studio audience and even the feelings of inadequacy he felt if his costars brought in bigger laughs that he did as funny guy, Chandler.
It is expected this and more will be explored in the autobiography.
