Matthew Perry posted snaps with cryptic messages

Matthew Perry was on break from Instagram for a few months before he finally started posting two weeks ago. The 17 again star's last post was 5 days ago. It was an eerie photo of himself lounging in the dark-lit pool. The actor was seen sitting near the edge of the Jacuzzi with headphones. He wrote in the caption, "Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman." This post of him sitting all by himself looking into the night made his fans concerned about him.

One fan wrote, "Is everything ok at home Mattman?" Another commented, "Matthew you're giving us so many signs. Are you gonna be in The Batman Part II or not cuz if you're not then i could get my hopes down" The comments came following Perry's previous series of posts.

Before this post, Matthew shared a series of snaps, all with the mention of Batman. This led to the fans speculate that Matthew is trying to sign towards something through Batman. One of his posts was about a pumpkin in Batman shape where concerned fans speculated a connection with the last chapter of his book which was also titled Batman. He wrote in the caption, "Do you know what I mean?"

In the chapter, the actor wrote the following lines, “My eyes filled with tears now, the sea seemed farther away, like a dream. So, I close my eyes and feel such gratitude for all that I have learned in this lifetime; for the scars on my stomach, which just proved that I’d lived a life worth fighting for. I was grateful that I was able to help my fellow man in times of strife and struggle, and what a gift that was.”

One person wrote below the post, "Anyone else read the book and see the risky connection?" A second one wrote, "Do you want us to send help? Is this your signal???" Followed a third user who asked, "So Matt, you do know there are a few of us who are a little concerned about you right now? I am hoping you're just having a little silly fun or you're hinting at a new project. Your fans adore you and want you to be happy and healthy - please take care of yourself? Thanks"
