The platform has been a hotspot for fans to express their love for the 90s sitcom, and now that the star who played Chandler Bing opened up about his addiction during that time, TikTokers are expressing their support.
The show was already popular since it hit Netflix in 2014, but now #friendstvshow is at 3.7 billion views, and the hashtag for Matthew Perry following the publishing of his memoir has 437 million views. The affectionate videos about Chandler Bing have transferred to emotional and supportive content regarding the actor.

Matthew Perry has spoken about his addiction before, but his memoir gives further details. He also goes into other areas of his personal and professional life. The sympathetic press for the book got shifted after a controversial line about Keanu Reeves came out that questioned his life when people like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger died. He later apologized and explained that he “chose a random name” that led to the John Wick actor, and in hindsight, he realized he “should have used” his name.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing was released today and is available wherever you prefer to get your books. It details the actor’s relationship with his Friends co-stars, addiction, and more. You can also browse the previously mentioned hashtags to join the fandom in celebrating the actor and sitcom.
