Fox News
The director of the “Friends” reunion for HBO Max spoke out against negative comments being made about series star Matthew Perry.
Some accused the actor of having slurred speech and seeming a bit vacant during pre-interviews for the special. However, director Ben Winston appeared on The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast "TV’s Top Five" over the weekend where he saw no evidence in working with Perry that he’s having any renewed issues with substance abuse and criticized those engaging in such online gossip. "He was great," Winston said (via E! News). "People can sometimes just be unkind. I wish they weren't. I loved working with him. He's a brilliantly funny man and I thought he had some great one-liners in the show. I felt just happy and lucky to be in his presence and directing him on something like this."More Related News
