Friends Reunion: Find out the reason behind Matthew Perry’s slurred speech in the promo

When the Friends Reunion promo was dropped, the happiness of the sitcom’s fans knew no bounds, but fans of Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing were worried because of his slurred speech at the reunion promo. His face looked swollen and it seemed he was unwell. Fans extended their support to Matthew while a section of netizens was making fun of his looks.

Well, the reason behind his slurred speech is revealed. A source close to the star has told The Sun that he had to go for an ’emergency dental work’ hours prior to the interview.

The source said, “Matthew turned up to the reunion [in April] and members of his team said that he had an emergency tooth procedure that day. That was said to impact his wellbeing and also how he was feeling. He had been in pain from what we understand, which caused the slurred speech.” The source also said that he had reassured that there was nothing to worry about.

Matthew has faced a lot of problems in his personal life. He met with a jet-ski accident in 1997 and he had earlier told People that things got “out of control and very unhealthy” after that accident and he became addicted to the painkiller Vicodin.

Friends: The Reunion will air on May 27 via HB, HBO Max and Sky. In India, fans can watch it on the streaming giant Zee5 on the same day.
