Matthew Perry carried his deformity for almost his entire life before his unexpected death in 2023. The Friends actor was only three when he was involved in an accident in which he lost the top part of his fingertip.
He shared: “So from three until I think eight or something like that, I had my hand in my pocket trying to hide it. I was on a flight with my mom, we were flying somewhere and this is back in the days when they would sometimes bring little kids into the cockpit, you know, to meet the pilot, show them all the buttons and all that kind of stuff.
Perry continued, “And I was really excited about that and I went to the cockpit and looked around… and I was so distracted that for the very first time, I didn’t put my hand in my pocket.”
