Matthew Perry injured himself playing computer games.

The former 'Friends' star spends so much time playing violent games he had to go to hospital to have steroid injections in his hand - a common treatment for tendonitis, which is when tendons become inflamed and painful.

The 39-year-old actor said: "I play a lot of video games. I play a lot of Xbox 360. I played 'Fallout 3' so often I had to go get injections in my hand!"

Matthew is currently single and says any potential girlfriends would have to share his gaming obsession.

He said: "She would have to be a video game player, for sure."

In one episode of 'Friends' Matthew's character Chandler Bing damaged his hand playing arcade game 'Ms. Pac-Man' while attempting to get the highest score.

Matthew can currently be seen starring with 'High School Musical' heartthrob Zac Efron in new age swap comedy '17 Again'.
