Matthew Perry’s addiction struggles became so severe that he \u201cnearly died\u201d a few years ago at age 49 when his colon burst from opioid overuse.<\/p>\n

While the \u201cFriends\u201d alum said at the time of his health scare that he a \u201cgastrointestinal perforation,\u201d he now admits that he actually spent two weeks in a coma and five months in the hospital and had to use a colostomy bag for nine months to treat the health crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live,\u201d he told People. <\/p>\n

\u201cI’m pretty healthy now,\u201d he told the magazine, before joking, \u201cI’ve got to not go to the gym much more, because I don’t want to only be able to play superheroes. But no, I’m a pretty healthy guy right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
