Matthew Perry is a Canadian American actor, executive producer, and comedian.
I never imagined I’d be fifty-two and single and not playing fun, dumb games with very short, cute kids running around repeating nonsense words that I had
taught them all just to make my beautiful wife laugh.
For years I thought I wasn’t enough, but I don’t feel that way anymore. I think I’m just the right amount. But still, each morning, when I wake up, there are a few brief moments when I am hazy, lost to dreams and sleep, and don’t exactly know where I am, I remember my stomach and the scar tissue that comes with it. (I finally have rock-hard abs, but they aren’t from sit-ups.) And then I swing my legs off the bed and tiptoe to the bathroom, so that I don’t wake … um, no one. Yessiree, I am as single as can be. I look in the bathroom mirror, hoping to see something there that would exp... (查看原文)
读完马修·派瑞与酒瘾、毒瘾和烟瘾相爱相杀的一生,强烈建议书名改成:The Big Terrible Thing,很明显,马修·派瑞没有朋友,也没有爱人,烟、酒和药,他自传95%是写给它们的(情书),剩下的5%是向那些睡过的(无名)女人的道歉。有一点他很诚实,Chandler就是另一个他,只是在Friends里,Chandler成长了,而现实中的他,好像什么都没学会。如果还没读,求你别读!
马修派瑞去年刚出了一本回忆录『Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing』,亲自口述,音犹在耳。贴上Goodreads上的一篇 书评 ,权当向老友告别。 一句话概括:这本书讲述了老友记、马修派瑞的感情史,以及那件“最可怕的事情”——他与酗酒和毒瘾的斗争。这部分诚实到令...

哭了好几次。戏外的马修没有戏里的钱德勒那样好运。52岁的unaccompanied minor,从婴儿时的苯巴比妥开始,命运啊,是否一切都早已注定?

强烈推荐用audible听这本书,好像在和老友打一个很长的电话,老友在诉说自己这么多年的心路历程,痛苦和煎熬。豆瓣评分意外很低,看了评论,可能很多人都期待一个欲扬先抑或者改邪归正,不过真实生活哪有那么多有教育意义的事。

这可能是我看过的自传里面最懦弱的人了 三星甚至两星给内容 其余给诚实展现自己的勇气 说实话 看完这本再看老友记比较出戏 Chandelier滤镜也没了

“Reality is an acquired taste.” 把自己的想法和痛苦写这么仔细需要极大勇气。“You're telling us more than most people know about other people.”
