Friends star Courteney Cox in a recent interview opened up about her co-star Matthew Perry’s off-screen struggles during filming of the 90’s classic.

Talking to The Sunday Times, Cox revealed that that Perry ‘struggled for a while’ while filming he show because of the pressure he put on himself to be funny.

“That was a lot of pressure he put on himself. That's a lot to think how much he relied on that for his own self-worth,” shared Cox, 57.

She went on to assure fans that Perry is doing much better now, saying, “He's just struggled for a while. I think he's doing great now.”

The comments come almost a year after the cast of Friends, including Cox, Perry, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc got together for a one-off reunion special where fans pointed out Perry’s slurred speech.

During the show, Perry himself admitted to his struggles during filming, saying, “For me, I felt like I was going to die if they didn't laugh.”
