Matthew Perry looks so unhealthy


I once saw a biography about Chris Farley where they said he stayed sober while making this movie. On the other hand, Matthew Perry didn't look good at all. At the beginning he seems healthy, but towards the end when they're dealing with Hidalgo, he seems so frail and pale looking, like he's near death. According to Wikipedia, he was trying to overcome a Vicodin addiction the year this movie was made. Anyone notice this?

Ever watch the last couple seasons of Friends. Half the time he looked awful.

On an interview on Real Time with Bill Maher Matt Perry talked about how he was an alcoholic, so that could have been a factor too.
