This Friends actor got high, glued his hands and legs together, lost layers of skin

He had fame and money, yet life was hard. Friends actor Matthew Perry's battle with addiction was a long and tough one. But, that didn't stop him from sharing his stories openly.

Even though we know about his rehab stays and struggle with pain pills, and alcohol, no one ever got know what the extent of his addiction was. Until, his friend Kayti Edwards decided to spill the beans on one of Perry's crisis situations.

This one time, he had glued his hands to his legs while screaming Edwards' name, asking her to "unstick" him, intouchweekly.com reported.

"And I'm looking at him and he's high out of his mind, and he hadn't showered in like [nine] days or something and the guy has just superglued his hands to his legs, and he wants me to unstick him, and I have no idea, because I've never dealt with somebody whose superglued their hands to their legs," Edwards told the portal.

By this time, Perry had reached the tipping point of his addiction. He had ditched vicodin and alcohol for crack and cocaine, the friend added. Fortunately, the Edwards was able "unstick" Perry, but the process ended up in him losing layers of skin.

What's more, during that time he had forgotten chunks of scenes he had shot with his co-stars from Friends. Perry admitted to have had problems remembering entire seasons of the show, let alone episodes. On the surface, this may sound a bit of a stretch. But alcohol has weird ways of affecting one's body.

For years, Perry has maintained his stance on his addiction struggles. He has confessed to having had a difficult time overcoming the urge to indulge in prescription pills and drinks.

Back in 2013, the actor told People Magazine that it was a very lonely for him and that his alcoholism was a progressive disease. But, his addiction never came in the way of his work. Perry was never drunk on set, but "painfully hung-over."

The TV star has been sober since 2001 and intends to remain that way. He is often seen ordering diet coke with a lemon at hotel bars; now, that's what we call recovery.
