‘The Birdcage’ star continued, “We drank a lot together, we laughed a lot together. We were there for each other in the early days of our career and he was to me, as funny as he was on Friends and he was and other things too, in person, he was just the funniest man ever.”
“A lot of us close to him really thought we lost him to drugs and alcohol a long time ago. As he documented in his book, in his autobiography, there was so much suffering,” Azaria added.
