Matthew Perry departed Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio film after his heart ‘stopped’ for five minutes
Fox News
"Friends" star Matthew Perry revealed that due to a medical scare, he decided to pull out of Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep's film, "Don't Look Up."
"In fact, I was OK," Perry, 53, wrote, per the Rolling Stone. "It still felt like I was constantly doing a sit-up — so it was very uncomfortable — but it wasn’t pain." Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
The doctors felt that a "medical device" in his back, requiring surgery, would best help relieve the actor's pain, Perry said.
According to Perry, he took hydrocodone the night before the surgery and was given propofol for anesthesia during the surgery. This combination is what stopped his heart.
