ResumoFriends, a staple of the nineties and noughties, has been heralded as the most successful sitcom of all time. The show is still regularly featured on Netflix's Top 10 list, with original viewers joined by a new generation of fans drawn to the comedic ups and downs of its famous six: Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courtney Cox), Ross (David Schwimmer), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), and, of course, Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). Avid fans will already know just how much of Canadian-born actor Matthew Perry is mirrored in his character of Chandler, the hilarious, sarcastic jokester who is afraid of commitment and painfully awkward around women, but the exact extent is revealed wholly in Perry's new memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.
