The actor, who played Chandler Bing, also revealed to his co-stars that he felt every night “like I was going to die if they didn’t laugh”, adding that he knew “it wasn’t healthy at all”.

Upon hearing the news, Lisa, who played Phoebe Buffay, said that the cast members “never knew that”.

The star previously received a Champion of Recovery award in 2013 for opening sober living home Perry House, which is in his former Malibu home.

It’s been reported that from 2002 to 2003 Matthew earned $24million to play the character of Chandler Bing in the hit series.
