Matthew Perry loved pickleball, found sport key to 'dealing with recovery issues'

Chloe Melas is an entertainment correspondent for NBC News.

Late 'Friends' star Matthew Perry played pickleball — an activity he loved and viewed as key to sober living — hours before his untimely death, the actor's friend and coach said Monday. Matt Manasse, Perry's pickleball mentor and friend of two years, said Perry's death on Saturday is particularly upsetting because the actor appeared to have turned a corner and was living a happy and clean life.

Perry, 54, played pickleball four or five days a week and was on the court Saturday, according to Manasse, fully embracing the sport that the actor viewed a key to his recovery. “I started with him about two years ago and I would bring all different types of people to come and play with him and he would bring people too and people dealing with recovery issues,” Manasse said.
