00:04I said, God, you can do whatever you want to me, but please, make me famous.
00:12I received a phone call and knew instantly that my life was about to change.
00:18But God did not forget the other part.
00:22All great stories have comedy and tragedy, and Matthew Perry's story was no exception.
00:29He was thrilled to be famous, and then after about six months it was like, oh no, this hasn't fixed anything.
00:34What's happening inside me hasn't had the effect I expected.
00:37My brother spoke of a feeling of emptiness or loneliness that he couldn't fill.
00:44He spent about seven million dollars trying to get clean; he took his illness very seriously.
00:50There were people around me saying things like, "If you go down this road, you're going to kill yourself."
00:55And I didn't know how.
00:58The world says goodbye to a beloved actor and one of our best friends.
01:07Now comes the funny part of the documentary.
01:11I was friends with Matthew for 40 years.
01:14I'd like us all to talk about how fun it was.
01:19It meant a lot in many ways.
01:22Matthew realized that this was an area where he could do great things.
01:27I want to introduce myself and say that my name is Matthew and I am an alcoholic.
01:31He saved my life at that moment, I'm convinced.
01:37And how fun it was.
01:39When he made people laugh, he felt good.
01:42Having that connection with the audience is something wonderful and sacred.
01:49How do we miss him?
01:52He missed us.
01:54To everyone.
