Suzanne Marie Morrison, the mother of "Friends" actor Matthew Perry, has revealed that she had a strange feeling before her son's hospitalization as a result of an overdose in 2018. In a recent interview, she described having a "premonition" that something bad was going to happen to Perry.
Morrison said that she was driving home from work when she suddenly felt a sense of dread wash over her. She recalled feeling paralyzed with fear and having the thought, "Something's wrong. Something's wrong." Morrison admitted that she had never experienced anything like it before and it frightened her.
