Remembering Matthew Perry: Julia Roberts Recalls Friends Guest Role (Flashback)
Julia Roberts spoke candidly about the recent passing of her ex-boyfriend, “Friends” star Matthew Perry, in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight.” Perry, who died at 54 in October, had a brief romance with Roberts during the 1990s when she guest-starred on “Friends.” Reflecting on Perry’s sudden death, Roberts expressed the heartbreak of losing someone so young and emphasized the importance of appreciating life.
Perry’s memoir, “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” revealed details of their relationship, including a romantic gesture of sending Roberts three dozen red roses during her time on the show. Describing Roberts as someone who was meant to make the world smile, Perry reflected on their connection.
Despite their past, Roberts shared only positive thoughts and feelings about her time on the “Friends” set, where she played a former classmate of Perry’s character, Chandler Bing. Interestingly, Roberts’ upcoming film, “Leave the World Behind,” pays homage to “Friends,” a detail acknowledged by her co-star Mahershala Ali, who sees it as a beautiful way to honor Perry and the show.
