Hank Azaria opened up about his longtime friendship with Matthew Perry, and explained how the late actor helped him get sober in a touching tribute.
“The night I went into AA, Matthew brought me in,” said Azaria, who had a guest role on Friends across multiple seasons. “The whole first year I was sober, we went to meetings together… I got to tell him this, as a sober person, he was so caring and giving and wise, and he totally helped me get sober. And, I really wish he could’ve found it in himself to stay with the sober life more consistently.” at the age of 54.
He continued: “It’s heartbreaking for those of us who loved him and knew him really well, personally. We missed him, we just missed him. It’s one of the terrible things about this disease, is it just takes away the person you love.” As Azaria noted at the start of his video, Perry was the first friend he made in Los Angeles after moving there. At the time, Azaria was 21, and Perry just 16, and the pair bonded quickly after filming a TV pilot together. That show didn’t go anywhere, but the two did work together later: Azaria had a recurring guest role on“Matthew and I became really good friends — we were really more like brothers for a long time,” Azaria said.
