Matthew Perry Played Pickleball With a Friend
The Fools Rush In star played pickleball with a friend the morning of his death, previously using the sport as a means to overcome substance abuse issues that he battled for years.
“He played every day and sometimes twice. It regulated his days. I spoke to the woman he played with this morning and every morning,” Extra host Billy Bush explained of Matt’s last day via Instagram on October 29. “She is in shock, adored Matt … she said he had been fatigued today and over the past week. A little more than usual. He played for one hour then went home.”
Following the news of his death, Perry’s close friend and pickleball coach, Matt Manasse, said he was in “good spirits” and “seemed like he was in a really good and a happy place” before his death.
“Pickleball, I think was an outlet for him,” he shared, noting Perry played four to five times a week. “It was something that he became obsessed with, and that was his new healthy addiction, and he loved it.”
He added that Matt would bring people who were “going through similar things” and try to use pickleball to help them as well.
