Matthew Perry is almost unrecognizable from his Friends hey-day

He was one of the six fresh-faced stars of iconic sitcom Friends.
But Matthew Perry looked very different as he settled down to attend a nighttime open air screening of the original Jurassic Park at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Tuesday evening.

The actor, 47, looked almost unrecognizable as he spent his Independence Day in low-key style, reliving the classic dinosaur film released in 1993, a year before Friends debuted on TV.

Yeah, what a jerk. How dare he look 20-some years older!

As Chandler on Friends, Matthew Perry projected a suave confidence few could match. His character was funny and charming, while Perry himself was undeniably good looking. But behind the scenes and beneath the façade, Perry was experiencing his fair share of issues.

In 1997, he completed a 28-day program to combat Vicodin addiction, and in the years that followed, his weight fluctuated wildly while filming Friends. At one point, he dropped down to 145 pounds, and things worsened in 2000 when a bout of pancreatitis saw him shed a further 20 pounds. In 2001, he went back into rehab, having had issues with opioids, amphetamines, and alcohol. Though he’s not quite the same Chandler Bing fans fell in love with all those years ago, the reality is that Perry is sober and probably lucky to be alive.
