Before HBO Max released its Friends reunion official trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRXVQ77ehRQ) Wednesday, People magazine released its interview with the Friends cast (https://people.com/tv/friends-reunion-exclusive-go-inside-the-emotional-hbo-max-special-with-the-6-stars/). The clip appeared to show Perry with an odd gaze and a labored speech pattern, as Page Six notes. At one point, he sounded slurred while answering a question about whether he ever brought home a souvenir from the set.

Matthew Perry’s slurred speech during the Friends reunion promo was reportedly due to emergency dental work (https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/2954860/matthew-perry-slurred-speech-friends-dental-work/)

Perry stunned fans last week when he appeared to slur his words (https://pagesix.com/2021/05/19/matthew-perry-slurs-speech-in-friends-reunion-promo/) in a Friends promo from People magazine. The Sun reports that Perry “had actually undergone an emergency dental procedure which left him in pain - and he has not relapsed,” referring to the actor’s past drug use.
