On Monday’s episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, host Andy Cohen asked the actor about his residual income from the hit sitcom in which he played Chandler Bing. “You talked to Diane Sawyer about the revival of Friends in recent years and it made me wonder,” Cohen, 54, began. “Are the Friends checks coming in today, would you call them a lot of checks? Or would you say it’s a trickle at this point?” LONDON, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 08: Matthew Perry poses in a photo for ‘The End Of Longing’, a new play he wrote and stars in at The Playhouse Theater on February 8, 2016 in London, England.

I’m not sure how to meet people, but it’s not the way to do it.” The story continues As for whether or not he’s looking for a partner who’s also sober, Perry said, “That would be nice. But it’s not a necessity.” “You know, I wouldn’t want to be with someone who drank so much you couldn’t recognize them,” Perry explained. “That wouldn’t be good… But I have no rules for that.” Perry’s memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing is out now.
