The late Friends actor's stepfather revealed his struggle with grief since Perry's death. He also said Perry was 'goofy and funny' and was the centre of attention 'even if he didn't say a word'.

Matthew Perry's stepfather has said the late Friends star 'felt like he was beating' his struggles with addiction and 'it's not easy' coping with the grief. Keith Morrison, an award-winning correspondent for Dateline NBC, said his stepson 'didn't get to have his third act, and that's not fair'.

'That's a whirlwind of a life - to get involved in a programme that became as wildly successful as it was, to be fighting an addiction that was so virulent, that went after him so hard.' Morrison said the grief continues to be difficult to cope with after Perry died at the end of last October at the age of 54. 'It's with you every day,' he said. 'It's with you all the time and there's some new aspect of it that assaults your brain. It's not easy.
