Matthew Perry’s speech appeared to be slurred during the Friends Reunion because he was fresh from dental surgery.
The first trailer of the long-awaited special, which airs on HBO and Max and Sky One from May 27, arrived last week, with the cast – made up of Matthew, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBLanc, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer – re-enacting an iconic scene.
Jennifer was also seen consoling an emotional Matthew, and fans noticed his speech seemed slurred.
According to sources close to the Chandler Bing star, he required emergency dental work just hours before joining his cast mates to be interviewed for the reunion.
‘Matthew turned up to the reunion [in April] and members of his team said that he had an emergency tooth procedure that day,’ an insider told The Sun.
‘That was said to impact his wellbeing and also how he was feeling. [Matthew] had been in pain from what we understand, which caused the slurred speech.
