I feel really bad for Matthew Perry, I didn't know anything about his struggles until now and it's really sad. the world really eats some people alive. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (2 children) I always thought that it was David Duchovny, but I guess that it could be Matthew Perry, or a combination. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MooseLad@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Doubt it's Duchovny.
