Suzanne Morrison honors Matthew Perry on his 57th birthday

Suzanne Morrison, mother of the late actor Matthew Perry, shared an emotional tribute to her son on what would have been his 57th birthday. The message was released via the Matthew Perry House, a foundation established in his memory.

Morrison reflected on Perry’s lifelong struggle with addiction, describing him as “sweet, loving, funny, cantankerous, pig-headed” and noting his deep desire to achieve wellness. She recalled his final wishes, stating that in his last days, he repeatedly expressed a desire to “help people like me, stuck in the disease of addiction.”

Perry, widely recognized for his role as Chandler Bing on ‘Friends’, passed away on October 28, 2023. His death was attributed to the acute effects of ketamine, an event that led to legal investigations regarding the administration of the drug.
