Friends fans have expressed their concern after Matthew Perry appeared to slur his speech in a promo for the upcoming reunion special. It was hard to overlook Perry's awkward demeanor as he sat with co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc to tease the show, which was shot in April and will air on May 27 via HBO and HBO Max. The 51-year-old actor stammered and stared in the clip, even slurring together his words at one point. When asked if he ever took anything from set as a souvenir, he admitted: 'I stole the cookie jar that had the clock on it' with a heavy 'sh' sound at the start of 'stole.' Worrisome: Matthew Perry raised concerns after appearing to slur his speech in a teaser for the upcoming Friends reunion, which airs later this month. Off kilter: The 51-year-old actor stammered and stared while with co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc, even slurring together his words at one point. Though his speech was stilted, Matthew's physical appearance was on the healthier side. His castmates were able to hide any of their concerns, as David and Matt giggled and smiled at the TV star, who played Chandler Bing on the NBC hit. But fans were quick to voice their worries.

'It pains me to see Matthew Perry like this, he just seems off, gazing at the void, speaking slowly,' wrote another. 'Hate to say it, but I'm sad and scared like hell for Matthew Perry,' a third added. 'Damn, Matthew Perry in those PEOPLE Friends interviews.' Upbeat: His castmates were able to hide any of their concerns, as David and Matt giggled and smiled at the TV star, who played Chandler Bing on the NBC hit. Better than bad: Though his speech was stilted, Matthew's physical appearance was on the healthier side, showing less ruddy skin and a pearly white smile. Another tweeted: 'Just watched @people exclusive interview clip of Friends casts and the time hasn't been kind. I hope Matthew Perry is okay. Damn how much I love them.' One wrote: 'Let’s not use the friends reunion to make fun of the way matthew perry looks these days. people age, funnily enough. 'Matthew has been through A LOT since friends wrapped up in 2004. be respectful instead of judgmental. hard block me rn if you think making fun of him is funny.' Heartbreaking: 'Just saw People interview and can't believe how Matthew Perry looks like… seriously it breaks my heart,' one fan wrote on Twitter. Perry has been open about his past struggles with addiction, previously telling People things got 'out of control and very unhealthy' after a 1997 jet- ski accident left him addicted to the painkiller Vicodin. Addiction left Matthew in a tough state, as he admitted to BBC Radio 2 in 2016. 'I don’t remember three years of [the show],' he said. 'Somewhere between Seasons 3 and 6 … I was a little out of it.' He told People in 2013: 'I couldn't stop. Eventually things got so bad that I couldn't hide it, and then everybody knew.' Keeping a low-profile: Matthew has stayed under the radar in recent years. He caused concern in 2019 when he looked dishevelled in his first sighting for almost two years. The actor, who checked himself into rehab during his time on Friends once in 1997 and again in 2001, told the Hollywood Reporter in 2015: 'I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I learned a lot from my failures. 'But the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic comes up to me and says, "Will you help me stop drinking?" I will say, "Yes, I know how to do that."' Perry's addiction came about after he got hooked on prescription pills following a jet ski accident. He did his third stint in rehab in May 2011, when a representative for the star said it was to prevent a relapse. Under the radar: Prior to his shock reemergence in 2019 he had been pictured in Beverly Hills in 2017 (left) and in 2016 (right) The Massachusetts born actor last starred in a movie in 2009's 17 Again opposite Zac Efron. Following that he appeared in several TV series including Mr. Sunshine, Go On and The Good Wife. After a break of several years, he will next be seen in the comedy Don't Look Up, which follows the tale of two astronomers, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, discover that a giant asteroid that could destroy all life on Earth is cruising toward the planet. The film boasts an absolutely stacked cast including Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Tyler Perry, Melanie Lynskey and Chris Evans, among others, and is expected to be released later this year. It comes after Perry was embarrassed after a match from the dating app Raya leaked a video message sent by the star. The Friends actor allegedly asked the 19-year-old girl, 'Am I as old as your dad?' during a flirty exchange that was leaked earlier this month. Perry, who is currently engaged to fiancée Molly Hurwitz, 29, can be seen in a video posted on Thursday flirting with TikTok user @kittynichole - real name Kate Haralson - who claims they matched on the membership-only dating service in May last year. Haralson, now 20, shared the footage of herself with the caption: 'When you match w Matthew Perry as a joke on a dating app and he facetimes you and plays 20 questions with you.' Could this BE more embarrassing? The engaged Friends star was outed for sending a girl, 19, cringe-worthy messages after matching on celeb dating app Raya. TikTok tell-all: It appears some TikTok users have started a worrying new trend of outing celebrities for using the dating service. In the 16-second video, Perry is seen smiling as he asks his potential date, 'Do you always play with your hair this much?' to which she responds, giggling: 'I guess so.' Haralson, a personal assistant who says she was 19 when Perry first contacted her, told PageSix on Thursday that she wanted to show how older men in Hollywood are 'taking advantage' of younger women on dating apps. 'A lot of people were saying I'm a bully and mean for posting this, and it made me feel kind of bad, but at the same time, I feel like a lot of guys in Hollywood are talking to all these young girls and it's something that I think a lot of people should be aware of,' she told the outlet. Haralson claims the FaceTime exchange happened in May last year, which is when Perry is said to have briefly split with his current fiancée Hurwitz, who he had been dating since 2018. Now THIS is a match: Perry, 51, got engaged to fiancée Molly Hurwitz in November last year having started dating in 2018 (though the pair were reportedly 'on a break' in May last year) The LA-based PA said she had matched with other celebrities before but wouldn't 'ever talk to older guys' though she thought talking to the Friends actor 'would be funny.' The exchange was believed to have been filmed six months before he announced his engagement to literary manager Hurwitz. 'I decided to get engaged,' the TV icon announced in People magazine on Thanksgiving after proposing. 'Luckily, I happened to be dating the greatest woman on the face of the planet at this time.' Chandler's crush: In 1996 Matthew briefly dated Baywatch beauty and Chandler's famous crush Yasmine Bleeth, although the romance only lasted a few months. Former flame: Perry dated Oscar winner Julia Roberts from 1995 to 1996 (pictured on the set of Friends) This will mark the first marriage for Perry, who is famous for playing loveable and sarcastic Chandler Bing in Friends. However, he has had several highly publicized romances with notable names. Perry briefly dated Baywatch star Yasmine Bleeth in 1995 and then moved on to Oscar winner Julia Roberts from 1995 to 1996. He has also dated Neve Campbell, Heather Graham and Maeve Quinlan. His longest relationship was with actress Lizzy Caplan from 2006-2012. Exes; Matthew and Scream star Neve Campbell struck up a romance on the Three To Tango set in 1998 (pictured that year) Split: Matthew and former fashion student Rachel Dunn had a 14 year age gap but dated for two years from 2003-2005 (pictured 2004) Perry was also engaged to Kayti Edwards, who previously claimed he had her score drugs for him while she was pregnant - during their brief romantic relationship in the early Noughties. In December last year, Kayti alleged in The Sun that when he was in the depths of his addiction he would take 80 Vicodin in one day. She claimed that in 2011 when their relationship was platonic and she was five months pregnant he would pay her thousands of dollars to procure drugs for him. Kayti alleged that he would 'guilt trip' her into going on the drug runs by offering to 'go there myself and walk downtown,' prompting her to pick up the slack instead in order to prevent him 'driving' or 'wandering around the streets.' However she also praised him as 'funny' and 'easy-going,' expressing her joy that he has gone on the wagon and settled down with Molly.
