In an interview, Matthew Perry discussed how he had been “burned” by women who were “chasing his money,” which made him fear that every woman he met would “annihilate” him. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, the 53-year-autobiography, old’s is about to be released.
The former “Friends” star spoke out in her interview with People about her search for love and battle with addiction. He explained why he was always the one to break up his relationships by saying, “That was me terrified.” After Julia Roberts made a cameo appearance on the popular sitcom, Perry dated her from 1995 to 1996.
Perry reportedly said, “That is what I manifest, something that’s wrong with them. And then I break up with them. But there can’t be something wrong with everyone. I’m the common denominator. I left first because I thought they were going to annihilate me.”
Speaking to the outlet, Perry revealed that he hoped to find a partner who was supportive. Perry said, “Somebody who has their own wealth is a pretty key component for me. I got burned a few times by women who wanted my money, not really caring about me …it happens more often than you think.”
Elaborating, Perry reportedly added that he was looking for a partner with, “A sense of humor, beautiful inside and out, caring. This is really important, somebody who can have a back and forth with me. The next person I really take seriously is somebody that I’m going to be in love with and not be scared by the things that used to scare me.”Matthew Perry
Now more optimistic and sober, Perry was also toying with the idea of being a husband and a father, stating, “I’m not afraid of love anymore, so the next girl I go out with better watch out.” As a father, the actor believed he would be a “great dad.” Perry said, “I grew up with a lot of little kids around me, and that’s probably why, but I can’t wait.”

Perry also revealed his addiction struggles while speaking to People. He said, “The doctors told my family that I had a 2% chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.”
Perry admitted spending two weeks in a coma and five months in the hospital, and how he had to use a colostomy bag for nine months.
