What Really Happened To Matthew Perry's Finger?

Like many other popular sitcoms, "Friends" is the type of show that fans watch over and over again until they're familiar with the characters and the plot. In doing so, they also discover something that they've never realized before, like Matthew Perry's right middle finger. Fans have noticed that his middle finger has its tip cut off and even asked for clarification on Reddit. As it turns out, fans were not seeing things: Perry does indeed have a shorter middle finger.

According to the Mirror, Perry jammed his middle finger on his right hand in between the door and its frame when he was 3 years old. The door was slammed violently while his finger was stuck, causing him to lose part of the digit in "an unfortunate door-shutting incident in nursery school."

Thankfully, the injury did not impact his day-to-day activities or his acting career. In fact, Perry's middle finger was so fascinating that, in a roundabout life-imitates-art moment, his "Friends" character Chandler lost a toe on the show.
