For FRIENDS, the show I have watched umpteen times, and will still watch when I get a chance.īut there was a third reason too, albeit a relatively minor one. (Chandler was-and still is, even after this memoir-my favourite character on FRIENDS.)Ģ.
For Chandler, for allowing me some of the happiest and the funniest and the most endearing moments on television. But I knew I would read this for two main reasons:ġ. I have given up on celebrity memoirs long ago. Add in substance and alcohol abuse, and what you get is Matthew Perry. Imagine a Chandler without a Monica in his life – striving since childhood for his parents’ attention, successful in his career and yet unfulfilled in his personal life, going from woman to woman without a single meaningful relationship, joking his way around awkward situations, having friends in his life and yet not feeling enough or loved. His biggest weapon is his sardonic sense of humour, often self-deprecating but also endearing.Īll FRIENDS fans know that there is a lot of Matthew Perry in Chandler Bing, but just to what extent is revealed in this memoir. Chandler won millions of hearts with his bumbling portrayal of a man who stumbles his way through mishaps and breakups, until he meets the love of his life, Monica Geller. If you are a FRIENDS fan, you know who said the above line – Chandler Bing, known in real life as Matthew Perry. “I’m hopeless and awkward and desperate for love!”
Honest to the point of being disconcerting. In a Nutshell: An exposition of the actor’s experiences with FRIENDS, lovers, and the ‘Big Terrible Thing’ – his battle with alcohol and drug addiction.
