Sadly, it\u2019s hard for him to reminisce on the past since whenever he looks at old episodes he can pinpoint exactly what substance he was abusing at the time \u2014 whether it be alcohol, opiates, or cocaine. He shared:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI could tell season by season by how I looked, and I don\u2019t think anybody else can, but I certainly could.

Interestingly, the <em>Serving Sara<\/em> star isn\u2019t opposed to watching the show forever and actually has the desire to walk down memory lane again, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think I\u2019m going to start to watch it, because it really has been \u2014 first of all, it was an incredible ride \u2014 but it\u2019s been an incredible thing to watch it touch the hearts of different generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Since the show has \u201cbecome this important, significant thing,\u201d he\u2019s feeling the urge to \u201cwatch that again.\u201d It helps that he still has such a close bond with his cast members, the <em>17 Again<\/em> alum described:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-6390d72b25eb6-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt was really funny and all the people were nice, and I\u2019ve been too worried about this, and I want to watch <em>Friends<\/em>, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"highlight\">Whoa!<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Related: Deadly Drug That Killed Jack Wagner\u2019s Son Harrison Revealed<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-6390d72b25eb9-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Matthew has been reliving his past a lot lately as he promotes the release of his new memoir, <em>Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing<\/em>, including revealing deets about his short-lived romances with <strong>Cameron Diaz<\/strong> and <strong>Julia Roberts<\/strong>, as well as opening up about his important friendship with his co-star <strong>Jennifer Aniston<\/strong>. Not to mention finding himself in the hot seat for some questionable comments about <strong>Keanu Reeves<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>This after the <em>Friends<\/em> cast reunited for a televised special last year to celebrate the ongoing success of the series. Throughout the filming of the <strong>HBO Max<\/strong> reunion and working on his book, we\u2019re sure the American-Canadian performer slowly had to get used to seeing his younger self on screen again, so it\u2019s not surprising to hear he\u2019s warming up to the idea of a full rewatch. Hopefully, when the day comes, he\u2019s able to enjoy the legacy he\u2019s left behind without being too critical of himself and his struggles at the time.
