‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry recalls feeling like he was ‘going to die’ while filming every episode
Fox News
The actor said during the cast reunion that he often felt like was “going to die” while playing the role of Chandler Bing on the beloved sitcom due to the fact the show was taped in front of a live studio audience and he feared onlookers wouldn’t find him funny enough. The show ran from 1994 to 2004.
"To me, I felt like I was going to die if they didn't laugh," he said when fellow castmates David Schwimmer and Courteney Cox admitted they thrived under the pressure of performing live takes. "It's not healthy, for sure, but I would sometimes say a line and they wouldn't laugh and I would sweat and just go into convulsions if I didn't get the laugh I was supposed to get," Perry added. "I would freak out."More Related News
