known for his role as Chandler Bing in the series “Friends”, was found dead in a jacuzzi at home in Los Angeles. He died on October 28 at the age of 54. Coincidentally, on the same day, Hollywood star Julia Roberts celebrated her 56th birthday. The actors were once a couple.
Matthew Perry died on Julia Roberts’ birthday. The actors were once a couple
In 2022, Matthew Perry’s autobiography “Friends, Lovers and the Big Scary Thing” was published, in which the actor described, among other things, his relationship with Julia Roberts. The couple had already become friends before the actress’ guest appearance in the cult sitcom. The star of “Pretty Women” informed the producers of “Friends” that she would take part in one of the episodes on one condition – she wanted her character to be related to Chandler Bing.
Perry felt honored and sent the actress three dozen red roses, along with a card. “The only thing more exciting than the prospect of you appearing on the show is the fact that I have an excuse to send you flowers,” the actor wrote. Before the artists met in person, they exchanged messages via fax. The “Friends” star recalled the hundreds of messages she had sent.
“Dating Julia Roberts Was Too Much”
“The way she put sentences together, the way she saw the world and the way she expressed her unique thoughts were all incredibly captivating,” Perry wrote. The two actors switched from fax to long-hour telephone conversations, and their relationship became romantic. Then the actors met on the set.
The couple was in a relationship for half a year. In 1996 they separated. Matthew Perry revealed that he broke up with the “beautiful and brilliant” Julia Roberts. The relationship did not come at a good time in the actor’s life, as Perry was already struggling with addictions. He also emphasized that he did not feel “good enough” for the famous actress.
“Dating Julia Roberts was too much. I kept thinking she was going to break up with me,” wrote Matthew Perry. The actor felt that the star lowered her standards for him. “I was not enough for her, I could never be enough, I was broken, overwhelmed, unworthy of love. Instead of facing the painful thoughts of losing her, I broke up with Julia Roberts myself,” he added.
