Though one of the statements made by Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing, worried many fans and even the cast members. The actor said that every day of shooting, he had anxiety issues.

He shocked the rest of the cast that Phoebe’s actress Lisa Kudrow said, “I don’t recall you ever telling us.” Oh absolutely, I felt that way every single night, Perry replied.
The actor has previously spoken about his struggles while Friends was at its peak of popularity. In a 2016 BBC radio interview, Perry acknowledged that his drinking and drug usage confused him for the first three years of the show’s run.
