Elizabeth Hurley remembers how difficult it was to work with Matthew Perry as he battled drug and alcohol abuse.
The actress recently recounted her experience working with the Friends star on the 2002 romantic comedy Serving Sara, which he revealed in his memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing had to suspend production while he was in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse.
“To be honest, it was a nightmare working with him at that time and, as it’s now known, our movie was shut down because of his addiction,” Hurley told Yahoo! Entertainment in comments posted Nov. 9. “We were in a force majeure and had to all sit at home twiddling our thumbs for some time.”

While in his book, Perry wrote that both Hurley and the film’s director Reginald Hudlin were “pissed off” by the situation. Hurley told Yahoo! Entertainment, “That was a little tough, but he came back and he was fabulous.”
