What the hell is wrong with Matthew perry?

He looks like a human cross of Beeker from the Muppet Show and a Qtip

I’ve had sufficient of his whiny ghost-written drivel and constant passive aggressive blame.

He’s still an addict, clearly damaged beyond repair, yet manages to avoid confirming sobriety.

Slamming talents greater than him who managed not to completely fuck themselves is pathetic.

He must need the money - if he had decent comms staff they would have shut down this memoir way before we got to the pity party book tour.

I think bitterness accelerates the aging process.

At least I have a working colon.

Keanu Reeves is not a greater talent. Infinitely more easy on the eyes, yes. But that's not a talent.

Being the weakest link in an ensemble cast on a bland sitcom isn't talent either R5

Courteney Cox was the weakest link. (Hence the fat suit to make her "hilarious.)

He was always an asshole.

[quote]“Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die..."

Hilarious that Matt Perry thinks being a drug-addicted mess is "original thinking". It's not.

No R7 the weakest link is the constipated bloated hack perry who was so full of shit and Vicodin he needed to detox on the set. As I understand it he had the most problems out of all the cast.

Could he BE any more pathetic?

I saw this headline, but didn’t read the article. Did he give any reasoning to saying this? He sounds like a major asshole.

Why is it that a man like Perry who died 30 years ago still walks among us?

He always seemed like an asshole. He sounds jealous of Keanu.

Keanu is not a particularly great actor but he’s also entirely harmless and by all accounts a genuinely good person, so I don’t get why the vitriol is aimed at him of all people.

Keanu seems like a great person. Sad for River, but does being a better actor make you more worthy of surviving? Matthew Perry is a really twisted moron.

No. Truly, Courtney was the weakest link.

Keanu has never come out. He could have done a lot of good if he did.

He's not gay, so why would he come out?

Here’s the answer that so woefully eludes this deep thinker: The two dead “talents” overdosed on drugs.

Keanu hasn’t.

So, who are the dummies here?

They probably competed for parts. Charlie Sheen also hated him publicly. They both probably lost parts to him, even when objectively he is a laughably bad actor. Its just odd, like Brad Pitt is also another non-actor who got parts because he was pretty, but nobody dares badmouth him other than Angelina. Hating on Keanu is almost like kicking a puppy the way the general public sees it.

What part would Keanu have stolen from Matthew? Speed, Constantine, Matrix, Bill and Ted, My Own Private Idaho? I don't see him in any of those. He's not a movie star.

I know you are but what am I? R17

[Quote] He's not gay, so why would he come out?

There's more than just gay and str8, hon.

[Quote] Here’s the answer that so woefully eludes this deep thinker: The two dead “talents” overdosed on drugs. Keanu hasn’t. So, who are the dummies here?

Keanu was no stranger to H.

They're both Canadian. Perhaps they auditioned for the same parts as teenagers over in Canada? I'm grasping at straws seemingly.

Keanu Reeves is a hippie basically. I've always assumed he was bi and truly mean no harm.

k did as many drugs as they all did and thrived.

Perry at the premiere of The Matrix in 1999.

"FILE PHOTO: Matthew Perry attends the world premiere of "The Matrix" March 24, 1999 in Westwood, CA. Perry, who was hospitalized with an acute bout of pancreatitis earlier this year, said in an interview that he decided to change his lifestyle after slamming his green Porsche into a house on the same day he was released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles."

And yet he walks among us.

He's certainly not jogging among us.

R24, thanks for that illuminating post.

R4. Not for long. I’m coming over. Grab the Vaseline and your ankles.

[Quote] 🙄

Keanu likes the menz. How's that for clarity?

[quote]“Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die..."

Original thinkers? Where the fuck does he get that? That was was even a hint of original thinking in either?

Nit that I would put Reeves at the top of the Original Thinkers list, but how original is it to be a scummy fame whore trading on the attention one professes to detest? Reeves at least work overtime plying a persona of "tortured genius chasing an 8-ball and a heroin chaser, for the Art, dint you know?"

R33, let some insiders talk dear.

Before Friends Matthew Perry co-starred in a movie with River Phoenix called "A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon."

I'm guessing it had something to do with that? God knows what.

[Quote] let some insiders talk dear.

Spill your insides, hon.

I completely took it to mean that kr is a fellow opioid addict. It was a backhanded compliment. I saw it that way.

[quote]I completely took it to mean that kr is a fellow opioid addict.

That was my takeaway as well, R38.

If that's his point, it would have been better made by using John Frusciacante's (sp?) name.

You must be stretch Armstrong with all the reaching you're doing R38. He meant it just like it sounded, bitter. Keanu doesn't bother nobody except basic bitches like matty perry apparently.

[quote]They probably competed for parts. Charlie Sheen also hated him publicly.

I had to look this up, R21, and I will admit it made me laugh, he also makes a good point about Coppola & Bertolucci.

This is from 1994:

[quote]Since Sheen earlier mentioned that most of his recent action movies and parodies of action movies have paired him with other guys, how come he hasn't made flicks with the other, bigger male contemporary actors? Just this fall, when Sheen turns up in Terminal Velocity, Cruise, Brad Pitt and Christian Slater, for instance, will be out with the high-profile Interview With the Vampire. "I'd rather be making fucking Terminal Velocity than ever be a fucking vampire. I hope all those guys, Cruise, Pitt, Slater, are brilliant and win Oscars and make a billion dollars for that show. Tom Cruise totally invented himself, came out of nowhere, started as an image, then exposed himself as a true talent. I mean, the guy is fucking good, can't take that away from him. Oh, and Leon DiCaprio with his Oscar nomination and all his fucking James Dean bullshit? Shit, some of these punks got no fucking respect."

[quote]He's rolling now, quaffing more brew, Bogarting his cigarette between sips. "Was it in your Movieline story with Stephen Dorff that he was talking about guys playing the wrong ages in movies, like I supposedly was in Platoon?" he asks, referring to an interview I did with the outspoken BackBeat star. "I was 19 when I made that movie. Dorff is a pretty good actor, but he was jacking off in some high school gymnasium when I was making the movie. Or was it junior high? I'm not saying I'm an old-timer, but I'm in my eleventh year and maybe I deserve a little badge for taking the shit of the decade.

[quote]"I mean, how does fucking Francis Ford Coppola, one of the greatest filmmakers of our time, see Keanu Reeves's work, see what we've all seen, and say, 'That's what I want in my movie'? How does Bertolucci see that and say, 'That's my guy'? Emilio and I sit around and just scratch our fucking heads, thinking, 'How did this guy get in?' I mean, what the fuck? How does Keanu work with Coppola and Bertolucci and I don't get a shot at that, know what I'm saying?

[quote]"Maybe I should become a heroin addict," Sheen says, dissing Young Hollywood.

[quote]"Maybe I should roam the fucking streets at 5 a.m. and hang out at fucking coffee bars. You know, become avant-garde. Or maybe if I adopt an English accent and add a middle name, so I'm Charlie Something Sheen, I'll get there."

"Doesn't... nobody..."

Double negative? Really?

Yes really Mary R43. I have double the middle fingers for your crusty ornery ass🖕🖕

Charlie, another washed up drug whore.

Pompous ass perry

Ever heard of a comma, r44?

This is SUCH a dick move. Where are his "people"? Why is his editor not cutting this shit?

This is Datalouge not English 101 R47. It must be fun to ignore you at parties.

Keanu could easily have wound up like River and Heath. But he didn't . He kicked his addictions. Reeves still is a much loved A List Movie Star. Which Perry will never be.

The editors left it in (or made it up) to create a media frenzy and try to publicize the dumb book.

Don't presume he's kicked his addictions.

They could have been auditioning for the same roles when they were younger. Matthew got the BH90210 gig.

Regarding Keanu, a lot can be said for an actor that is polite, knows his lines and shows up on time. And can put asses in seats.

R54- He is one of the very few celebrities that I have respect for. Just a really nice, humble man.

You believe his publicity. Congratulations.

Apparently this drug loon thought (if that's the word) he didn't need a proofreader or, better, a responsible editor.

It was a gratuitous remark in its first entry. To say Keanu Reeves offends justice by living when Chris Farley died in a froth-mouthed OD (as had River Phoenix and Heath Ledger) in a second entry is to show disorder and muddled language.

Perry is an insolent, selfish turd.

Matthew Perry gives “ostrich face” in OP’s pic. Christ, what a mess….

Perry was clearly zonked out of his mind on the Friends reunion last year. Slurring, etc.

All that Friends money and he can't help himself from being a cunt. Here's to hoping he gets hooked on whatever he used to do and ODs.

It always amuses me when people on a website for pointless bitchery get angry at a celebrity for doing the same.

R61, I don't want to speak for everyone, but when the intended target deserves it, we all jump in like savages. Perry was being a pretentious dick with that comment. He thought, because Keanu took a few silly roles and doesn't say much, he was an easy target. As if he's ever been a part of an important project. Friends? 17 Again? Fools Rush In?

Matthew the bloated addict is projecting. He'd give what's left of his functioning organs to take the shitty scripts Keanu rejects.

I don't think Perry's comments are fueled by career jealousy. Matthew Perry would be as unhappy as he is regardless of any job he may hold.

Someone sounds like a very bitter and jealous man.

He’s fat. Haggard. A dry drunk. And living thru his glory days. I think he should take over Muriel’s job. He’s perfect here.

He's just lucky he has Friends fuck you money, because who would hire him now?

Petty man.

He's never had trouble getting a job since FRIENDS.

It’s always been rather fashionable to put down keanu. Someone mentioned the Charlie Sheen interview and even Jeff Buckley couldn’t resist putting keanu down in this interview.

[quote] And as far as films – anything by Elia Kazan. I like cinematic art that is doesn’t have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right? I like East of Eden, Cinema Paradiso, Last Tango in Paris. It takes a real artist to do films like that and not rely on a 45 Magnum to create action. Boring. I like My Own Private Idaho. Despite Keanu.

What jobs since Friends? Friends reunion shows don't count.

That lousy Odd Couple show?

He's had numerous. I don't think he covets Keanu's career. He looks down on Keanu because of his lack of talent and he's probably also jealous that Keanu is highly functioning.

It does sound like a case of sour grapes which is weird given how much the Friends cast was paid per episode at their height. The funny thing is that he has more in common with Keanu in terms of career than he does with the actors he admires.

He had a show with Sarah Paulson. Another one with Laura Benanti. He's not Freddie Prinze Jr.

[Quote] The funny thing is that he has more in common with Keanu in terms of career than he does with the actors he admires.

Does he? Keanu is the beautiful block of wood and his casting reflects that. Perry has never been that.

"He looks down on Keanu because of his lack of talent."

The irony.

R75 I mean in terms of commerce vs art.

Because Matthew Perry is his generation’s greatest thespian? His brain is well and truly fried. At least Keanu is likable on screen.

I watched the Friends reunion last year or whenever that was and the entire cast looked embarrassed and uncomfortable whenever he would talk. If this is the kind of stuff he spews even supposedly sober then I can see why.

Perry is an unfuckable loser.

Keanu always tried hard he simply isn’t very good unfortunately. He has worked with great directors, he’s even done Shakespeare so it’s not for want of not trying. I don’t recollect anything regarding Perry’s film career and in Friends they all became so annoying and by season 4 just seemed to be collecting a pay check.

He has not aged well. All I’ll say. That neck! I see it in my nightmares. No chin! That’s my horror.

Perry has done nothing in 5 years, other than the Friends embarrassment.

Next to Sheen and Peery, Reeves is Daniel Day Lewis.

his biggest film hit i believe?

I've never found Lisa Kudrow annoying.

Bitter drug addict.

[Quote] Next to Sheen and Peery, Reeves is Daniel Day Lewis.

He really isn't. Keanu is smart enough to keep his mouth shut, unlike Sheen and Perry.

R84- And poor Keanu only has films such as Speed and My Own Private Idaho.

R5 Keanu Reeves was wonderful in My Own Private Idaho, as was River Phoenix. Maybe he needed Van Sant to coax that performance out of him, but nevertheless he deserves credit for it. Both performances sang and seemed utterly natural.

My mom adores Keanu, and I like his work too. He has a very courtly, old-school movie star style. Obviously, it works for him.

R89- I agree, I was being sarcastic about MP calling KR untalented.

R91 And the beauty of Keanu and River in that movie is just unparalleled, to my mind. I don't know what matched it--maybe Gary Cooper in his prime.

That was a very beautiful, touching film.

He is going to milk this Dopehead Shtick right to his last day...Getting sober isn't profound. Doing dope isn't original. What the fuck makes you think you're special?

[quote] k did as many drugs as they all did and thrived.

I instantly reached the same conclusion, r27. Phoenix and Farley are dead. Perry is nearly-dead and he's just bitter that Keanu has not suffered as conspicuously as other users. Keanu may not be an addict. He could be a bonafide chronic, recreational drug user who physically and chemically never developed a dependency on drugs.

Idaho is River's movie. Keanu is well cast as a shallow, climber character.

Was Perry implying that Reeves is still a current user or that he had a bad habit when contemporaries were dying? There's that envy, but what's it about-- that Reeves managed to kick his habit or that he managed such a great career despite using? Or both...

I'd say more the latter. Addicts remain in recovery.

The moral of the story is that dissing Keanu can be deadly. RIP, Jeff Buckley.

True dat.

R97- I believe it is both. He comes off as a very bitter, petty little man. I am still trying to process how this loser called KR talentless. How is it possible to be so lacking in self awareness?

[quote]You believe his publicity. Congratulations.

Eh, Keanu was one of those celebs that had crazy tons of people come out of the woodwork to talk about how kind he is with first hand accounts on Twitter. He had a massive thread that was the opposite of the, "Ellen is horrible ... let me tell you what she did to me," thread.

Keanu doesn't have to play up anything. He has decades of stories of his kindness and none of them come from Keanu himself.

I never got the casting of him on Friends. He was so irritating.

R96 River won the prestigious Volpi Cup for Best Actor for MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO at the Venice Film Festival.

[quote]Courteney Cox was the weakest link. (Hence the fat suit to make her "hilarious.)

[quote]No. Truly, Courtney was the weakest link.

For what it's worth, Cox was the only one of the FRIENDS main cast to never be Emmy-nominated.

[Quote] Keanu doesn't have to play up anything.

No. He has others to do that for him...

Zac Efron had no bad press about his character until his ex aired him out on a podcast. The English Language media didn't touch the story. Funny that...

I'm not following. why is Keanu even mentioned? Did Matthew Perry say something?

Back in the 90s I used to work for a photo agency that catalog celebrity photographs. (Shot on slides, yes I'm old)

Anyway there was this one photograph of Rodney Dangerfield, Bill maher, and Matthew Perry. They were all wasted out of their mind. Matthew Perry looked the worst of all three.

[quote]What jobs since Friends? Friends reunion shows don't count.

After FRIENDS ended, Perry was Emmy-nominated twice for guesting on THE WEST WING and once for Lead Actor in a Miniseries for RON CLARK.

It must kill his soul every time he sees that face in the mirror. He was not bad looking in his youth,but that is one drooping chinless mess now. You cant tell me that doesnt effect his mental state.

I will ask again : What MOVIE roles?

At least he's alive R110, he wasn't given much of a chance. only like 10 percent? or less? That's what I read...

[Quote] It must kill his soul every time he sees that face in the mirror. He was not bad looking in his youth,but that is one drooping chinless mess now. You cant tell me that doesnt effect his mental state.

He was never cast for his looks. He won the lottery with FRIENDS. I think his issues are unrelated.

That's a guy pissed that someone could handle their drugs

R113 Craig Bierko was originally considered for 'Chandler Bing.'

Thus, the character would have definitely become the hunk of the show.

I mean, would it help his obviously low self-esteem if he got a chin/neck lift or whatever would fix his chinless look and neckline? I'm sure his residuals still keep his bank acct well padded.

Craig Bierko's career hasn't been as Hunk.

But he could have sold it convincingly.

And he was eye-candy.

More padded than his chin. It was incredible the goodwill and warmth that were given to him a few days ago (read the how I wrecked my colon thread) has turned to white hot hatred once he pissed on the Internet's boyfriend, Keanu.

At R42, those Charlie Sheen quotes about Keanu Reeves are interesting. Charlie Sheen needs to remember, though, how he got his foot in the door. He and Emilio Estevez are the sons of Martin Sheen.

People always say women are catty, bitter, and jealous. It seems like Keanu Reeves is the big-titted, blonde secretary who's the highest paid employee in the office.

Keanu got his foot in the door via connections too.

Bierko and Perry.

R121, and didn't throw it all away on hookers and drugs.

The animosity directed at KR on this thread seems so deeply personal. Matthew, is that you?

[quote]I mean, would it help his obviously low self-esteem if he got a chin/neck lift or whatever would fix his chinless look and neckline?

As has been said, elective surgery is most likely out of the question for him.

Fillers are an option.

Perry looks like a Big Toe or Dilbert.

r125 didn't see that it had already been said that it's likely not an option. Maybe I have that poster blocked...

He can't undergo unnecessary procedures...I'm just guessing coz of his drug issues.

Keanu has a very good rep in Hollywood.

How the fuck does he even remember everything? he was wasted on drugs for so many years...

Well that, or almost dying. He's stuck with that ugly face and body now. Matches his personality.

Bill & Ted's, Point Break, Speed, The Matrix, John Wick, My Own Private Idaho...

vs

A shitty sitcom

[Quote] Keanu has a very good rep in Hollywood.

Simon Halls?

I remember during FRIENDS first season (1994-1995) Perry made headlines when he was caught having an affair with Julia Roberts, who at the time was the biggest female movie star and had been married to Lyle Lovett for about a year.

Let's not pretend Keanu's resume isn't mostly full of genre nonsense.

At age 53, it’s probably too late for a chin lift to boost his sagging career. He’s not going to be cast as the lead in any rom coms or as an action hero at this late stage. I don’t see him pulling off a Robert Downey Jr. style act two. Matt never married or had kids and that’s cool. But he does seem like a sad and lonely addict at times.

Keanu never married or had kids. And he's been perceived as lonely at times.

Marriage/Kids? The fraus have descended!

No, but Keanu seems happy in an age appropriate relationship.

That fat piece of shit would need to see past his gut to look down on somebody R72, especially Keanu who let's face it is ICONIC. Speed, the Matrix, John Wick, his legacy is set. matthew better hope those friends reruns last for the rest of his life because after his shitty book flops he will go back to obscurity. And will be completely forgotten once friends is off the air for good. It's what she deserves

it's so obvious he wishes he had Keanu's career. He probably thinks he's more talented than Keanu and if shitty Keanu can achieve all that etc etc

R136, he's done comedy, drama, action, Shakespeare. You might not like it, but he's done it

Ruby Wax has done Shakespeare. She ain't no thespian.

R136, I don't think anyone thinks Keanu is a great actor. He's not. But he's been in some huge films. His genre films, as you say, like Speed and Matrix were game changers.

Indeed. But not quality. If this were really about career jealousy, Perry would have picked someone like DiCaprio.

R146 but Leo idolized River.

Yes, Titanic was the height of cinema brilliance.

R145- Keanu hasn't said that MP had no talent. He hasn't insulted him or claimed to be more talented. KR doesn't seem to feel the need to insult others work or talent. KR isn't a bitter little bitch. Unlike MP .

Yes, and Leo was perceived by some to have got "River's career" once he died. I think the poster upthread is correct. Perry is pissed that Reeves can do drugs and remain unbothered by press and public alike, while contributing little to the world as a performer.

Keanu wouldn't dare talk shit about anyone's acting ability.

R151-; Because he isn't a jealous asshole.

[quote]Yes, and Leo was perceived by some to have got "River's career" once he died.

That tired old trope is completely false. Leo was already well on his way with This Boy's Life before River died. River would've been just a bit too old for What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Basketball Diaries and Titanic.

[quote]Reeves can do drugs and remain unbothered by press and public alike, while contributing little to the world as a performer.

He's been in some iconic films. He's not the greatest actor, but he has a solid place in film history.

Of course it's false. Who knows what roles Phoenix would have done... But some see DiCaprio as someone who benefitted from River's death.

I would prefer Keanu's career to Leo's. I've definitely enjoyed his movies more, in general.

Is Keanu still on drugs?

I don't think Keanu's drug problems were as bad as MP's.

oh please...who didn't do drugs in Hollywood?!

[quote]But some see DiCaprio as someone who benefitted from River's death.

Again, River would've been too old for the 90s roles that made Leo a star, including Titanic.

I’m trying to picture Perry as Neo, in the black coat and sunglasses 🕶, speaking the Matrix lines and fighting Hugo Weaving. . . and it’s not possible. There’s no way Perry would have had Keanu’s career. It would be interesting to know what happened in the past for Perry to write/say such garbage.

R161, MP is obviously brain damaged.

You can't argue that Keanu didn't have to spend a fortune in beards like Leo. Seems exhausting.

Oh c'mon, they don't even have the same look. Keanu was fucking hot in Point Break. MP was never even close in looks.

Keanu had a few sci-fi roles before matrix came along...I remember watching them but I don't remember the names. He was perfect for the Matrix

R164- KR is still very good looking, imo.

Why is he even writing a book, when he doesn't need the money? He himself said he didn't remember entire seasons of Friends. How much else can't he remember?

"If I can save at least ONE white entitled millionaire, then it will all be worth it"-------Chandler the Money Whore

You can tell that Leo borrowed heavily from River, including his mannerisms. It is rather evident in the movie DOGFIGHT (below).

Incidentally, one of Leo's earliest acting gigs was the TV series PARENTHOOD based on the hit movie, which only lasted one season. He played the same part that Joaquin Phoenix had originated in the movie. David Arquette played the Keanu Reeves role.

Does he address the gay rumors that were flying around him in the early days of Friends? Or the Matt LeBlanc gay rumors?..Or that the show considered making Chander gay? Or is this just a boring dopehead book?

Do you know who else walks among us?

I don't like most of Leo's movies especially the overrated titanic. The only ones I truly liked were the basketball diaries, Romeo and juliet and catch me if you can. And as far Keanu's film career yes he does "genre" films but so what? I'm not one of those that think you need to be a chameleon to be a great actor and it's still better than that shitty sitcom. Perry can't even take full credit for friends because he was part of an ensemble cast and wasn't the glue that held everything together.

Keanu was a fucking beauty, Perry was nowhere close in looks.

Matthew used to like it up the pooper. When he still had one.

Is Perry still using the shit bag?

Keanu was in quite a few romance movies as well. Perry must have been passed over for one of the roles...how else can you explain this?

Maybe Perry was in love with River but River was in love with Keanu....

R172- I enjoy KR movies. That is all that matters, whether the public will want to see an actors films. I have never liked LD much either. MP was barely watchable on Friends, especially the last few years. Just like watching a cardboard cut out. You shouldn't bad mouth your betters, Matt.

I never watched Friends. Only watched a couple of episodes and didn't think it was that interesting.

I might be one of only five Gen Xers who's never seen a complete episode of Friends. I've only seen random clips of the show, and from what I've seen I never found it very funny.

[quote]Craig Bierko's career hasn't been as Hunk.

Craig Bierko's career hasn't been.

He picked on keanu because he’s an easy target compared to the guys he probably really envies.

Anytime a person tries to elevate themselves by putting others down it only makes them look small.

He says he punched a hole in Jen Aniston’s dressing room, not his own dressing room, when he found out River died.

I’ve never seen a full episode of Friends.

I have understood why that show was so popular. The few episodes I watched were sleep inducing.

^^that's why i watched it

Incidentally, the original title for FRIENDS was INSOMNIA CAFE.

His saggy neck makes his head look like an uncut penis.

More proof of how insufferable River Phoenix stans are.

I don’t get why y’all are clutching your pearls. The way you guys talk about Leo it sounds like you wish he died instead so River could take all his roles.

R184 Friends wasn’t even on yet when River died. That makes no sense. Doesn’t he have an editor or ghost writer or both to check those things?

I call this Attention Whore Syndrome.. Apparently rehab didn't address this ailment for Matthew.

He's pickin' on the wrong one with Keanu, that's for damn sure. Keanu is adored by all. I think that goiter on Perry's neck must be constricting the blood flow to his brain.

Too rich and too stupid is a dangerous combination.

Wow, he looks awful and comes off as so unsympathetic in these excerpts from that book. For someone so fortunate, he is pretty graceless. Sometimes it’s better to simply disappear.

The marketing of this memoir is pretty grubby, placing passages that mention more famous and more admired people into human interest media. That’s pretty desperate.

Really dude.

He looks quite queeny there.

Jealousy. Keanu got to keep his foreskin and Perry lost his.

Matthew starred alongside River in A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, so maybe he was jealous of Keanu's bestfriendhood with him? Maybe he believes the rumors that Keanu is the one who introduced River to hard drugs on the set of My Own Private Idaho? Maybe he's hopelessly stuck in his peak of 1996 when it was fashionable to slag Keanu's acting?

Were they best friends, though? Drug buddes is its own thing.

I’d def get it on with Keanu. Not Perry. I would watch a perry movie over a Keanu one. I wouldn’t want to watch a perry movie though.

Keanu is a beautiful movie star, with a rep for kindness and good manners.

Matt was part of tv ensemble hit show from almost 30 years ago and wears a colostomy bag.

[quote]It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down...“Keanu Reeves walks among us.”

Coming from the guy who made MILLIONS from a sitcom and has survived decades of alcohol and drug abuse, not to mention the perforated colon which he claims kills most people who were in his condition...

I think the majority of people would rather have trade Perry for River than Keanu for Perry.

Is Perry known to be unkind to his fellow actors? I feel like we'd have heard from Laura Benanti already...

And by fellow, I mean co-stars.

The six actors made enough never to have to work again.

Aniston keeps working because she's gorgeous and a little thirsty for it.

Kudrow keeps working, but mainly as a producer, because she has more to say.

Cox is around, and with her implants, has a long life ahead of her.

Schwimmer is, thankfully, lying low. He got his lucky break, and now he's living large.

LeBlanc is doing the same as Schwimmer.

So we're left with Matthew Perry, the guy who tried harder than the others to have a film career and also failed worse than the others (even Schwimmer had a hit in that Anne Heche movie and LeBlanc got his spinoff). He's not good enough to be a lasting star, nor is he content to be silently rich. He's a bitter, bitchy middle child. And if he has to spark nonsense celebrity feuds and talk about his shittin' habits to get there, oh well.

Keanu is too classy and he isn't gonna respond. He is too Zen for this BS.

[Quote] because she's gorgeous

Surely you jest.

LeBlanc is living larger than any of them.

[Quote] LeBlanc got his spinoff

This implies the other didn't get theirs...

LeBlanc has been in other comedy series.

As has Perry. What's your point?

[quote]LeBlanc is doing the same as Schwimmer.

LeBlanc had a sitcom that ran for 4 seasons. He also did Top Gear for a couple seasons.

He's not really lying low.

LeBlanc is humble and nice but Perry is a junkie bitch. That’s my point.

Le Blanc isn't lying low, cause he couldn't get back up.

That makes total sense R177 it would explain the bitter tone towards someone who not only doesn't acknowledge his existence, but has very little in common to interact with.

Who should play Perry in Feud, Chandler v Neo? No need to cast Keanu since this appears to consist of Perry scouring the obituaries every day, shaking his fist and cursing God for the injustice of each person who died while Keanu lives, while adjusting his colostomy bag. Water cooler television!

[Quote] Who should play Perry in Feud, Chandler v Neo?

Craig Bierko?

There's something I've noticed about addicts, which is that they live in a kind of never-ending "glory days"-type nostalgia of their early drug use/abuse, before consequences began to accumulate.

Back in the 90s, and pre-Matrix, Keanu was a kind of Hollywood stoner airhead who lacked the tragic depth of River Phoenix (something similar happened in music, when people lamented that Beck lived but Kurt died, etc). Obviously, Keanu's career took off in a different way and he's aged into a new kind of cultural relevance that probably would've come as a surprise to observers of his early career.

I wonder if a huge part of Matthew Perry's brain is just stuck in that weird 90s nostalgia groove where he remembers the way Keanu was from the time when he/Matthew was not so damaged.

I think we've all gone from feeling concerned and sorry, and sympathetic to Matthew Perry - to being downright sick of him. This book should not have been published. He comes across as a selfish, jealous ass. He would never had Keanu's career- didn't have his looks. And, Keanu worked hard for what he has and sorry if he dabbled in drugs and didn't get to "HOT MESS FOR YEARS" stages like MP. He knew which way was up, and it must gall MP that Keanu, who people like to say isn't as smart, has made way more of his chances and his talent than MP.

Matthew Perry, sit down! Be grateful for the fans you had - hope that you still have them - I was one - and leave Keanu alone. This vitroil serves no one, especially not you, and it's a bad look.

What makes you think Perry was less damaged in the 1990s?! Do you think the same of Charlie Sheen?!

[Quote] sorry if he dabbled in drugs

It's fascinating the language people use to soft pedal the behavior of their faves...

His smirk in OP's photo is revolting.

Matthew Perry, Valerie Bertinelli made out while Eddie Van Halen was passed out

Does the moon respond to a barking dog?

Reeves won’t respond, publicly or privately.

What everybody has already posted.

Perry seems to be an addict still suffering. That’s not worthy of my ridicule. It’s worthy of my pity.

R219- I believe you are right. I remember reading that addicts stop maturing at the age they begin abusing drugs/alcohol, or as you said, frozen.

I wonder if Perry dared to go after others in the book or only KR because he knew he wouldn't say anything in response. If Perry's filled with envy about Reeves, surely there ar scores he resents more out there.

Keanu playing Diane Keaton's boyfriend -- his best acting job or he actually wanted to fuck Diane Keaton?

[Quote] If Perry's filled with envy about Reeves, surely there ar scores he resents more out there.

Is there an actor with Reeves' talent level who is more successful?

[quote] I am still trying to process how this loser called KR talentless. How is it possible to be so lacking in self awareness?

We could ask you the same question.

Keanu is a bad actor. He may be a nice person, but he cannot act. You should watch Bram Stoker’s Dracula and compare his performance to Gary Oldman’s.

I actually think more highly of Charlie Sheen than Perry now. Not that what I think matters….

It's not controversial to suggest Keanu Reeves is a bad actor. Perry has not started something, in that respect.

Keanu is decent in the right role.

Saw him in an indie with Tilda Swinton. He played at new age dentist. He was good. Funny……oh yeah it was called Thumbsucker.

Keanu is like Brad Pitt? Likable, bankable beauty who can be good or awful.

Nah. Pitt can give weight. And he can be more heavily comic than Reeves can manage.

[QUOTE]It's not controversial to suggest Keanu Reeves is a bad actor.

No, but it is controversial to suggest he's less worthy of roaming the earth than the others.

Give me Mark Rylance in “Wolf Hall” if I’m in the mood to be entertained by a talented actor.

Give me Keanu Reeves if I’ in the mood to be entertained by a movie star.

Reeves has that undefinable “it” factor that draws your eye when he’s on a big screen. I’m convinced you have to born with it and not even a lick of talent is necessary.

Perry has neither. I’d suggest that he work on acceptance.

River Phoenix had the It factor. Reeves was just comely and he speaks softly.

Keanu Reeves has done Shakespeare

Perry was once just ok as AWG on a dumb show that was very popular.

Matt stay in your rich,retired junkie lane.

This thread belongs in “It’s a 90s thing, you wouldn’t understand “ thread.

Keanu is talented, no one is saying he's the world's best actor. You can be taught to improve, you can't be taught the "it" factor. The camera either loves you, or it doesn't- as do audiences.

Perry isn't retired. He even does plays. I think he did one with Harry Potter. They promoted it on Graham Norton.

[Quote] Keanu is talented

How does it manifest? He smiles and you smile? He looks bashful and you mirror that too?

[Quote] You can be taught to improve

And yet Reeves has never improved.

Exactly R235, the people in here talking about Keanu's acting are missing the bigger picture. Perry wondered aloud why river Phoenix is dead while Keanu is not. That's a HORRIBLE thing to say about somebody. He wasn't critiquing the guys acting he actually wished him dead. That is egregious and has deeper issues than possibly competing for roles in the early 90s.

R232- It's not controversial to suggest Keanu Reeves is a bad actor. Perry has not started something, in that respect "

It is when the person suggesting it is absolutely no better.

That's silly. Perry was effective in his niche. I expect what really gets him is that Perry wants the effort to show as a performer. And Reeves is low energy. A crime to Perry, probably.

AGAIN Keanu Reeves has done Shakespeare

[Quote] That's a HORRIBLE thing to say about somebody.

But it may speak to something Perry knows about Reeves that we don't. If Perry had cited Johnny Depp, people here would be less outraged. There'd still be Depp defenders but Depp's dark side is known. Reeves, like Efron, has mostly ridden "Inoffensive, mild-mannered" to million$.

Perry was WAY above average before he blew his colon and mind.

In looks or talent?

Perry doesn't know shit about Keanu R249. Where are the pictures of them hanging out? By most accounts the only thing they had in common was river, and it's still the lowest of the low for a drug addiction to suggest somebody else should be dead when by his own admission Perry has cheated death many times. It makes people lack sympathy for his situation.

Meh, I've seen guys with his looks and personality working at a Verizon store. Perry got lucky.

That should read drug ADDICT for R252 I hate spellchecker

R247- Wasting your life and career indulging in drug and alcohol abuse is also a crime to many people, especially when you have unlimited resources to get the very best help available.

But what if Reeves is a high functioning addict? Is being an addict still bad in that case...?

This book is really his complete undoing. Such a disaster he’s revealed himself to be. He’ll be dead within two years of overdose. Bet.

This isn't about who's the better actor. It's about Matt Perry not once but twice writing that he wishes Keanu Reeves were dead. With no context at all other than "better people died but he's still alive and that pisses me off."

If he has any valid reason for feeling that way he should have told us what it was. Otherwise, no sane person publishes a book in which they wish somebody dead. TWICE.

Oh, please. His addiction is his undoing. Not some little book.

Maybe Perry was threatened with a lawsuit before publication.

Keanu has appeared in numerous movies that have made millions of dollars and still looks good for his age. Perry is a bloated, ugly, addicted mess whose only claim to fame is being part of a mediocre sit com.

Perry claims *he* "broke up" with Julia Roberts after 2 months. Yet admits that he sent her 3 dozen roses and sent her "daily faxes" for 3 months during the "courtship" period.

I'm guessing Julia Roberts has a way different story.

[quote] AGAIN Keanu Reeves has done Shakespeare

So what? He sucked, too.

Keanu was amazing in The River's Edge. I went to high school with 20 guys like him. He sucked in Dracula, but was great again Always be My Maybe.

[quote] Keanu has appeared in numerous movies that have made millions of dollars

That’s billions R261. Not millions. Billions.

[Quote] Keanu has appeared in numerous movies that have made millions of dollars and still looks good for his age. Perry is a bloated, ugly, addicted mess whose only claim to fame is being part of a mediocre sit com.

But Friends has made many millions of dollars. As has the cast. And how many of Keanu's projects aren't even medicore, e.g. the latest Matrix sequel (Was it the tenth?)?

Speaking of, pretty sure this Deux Moi blind is supposed to be Perry.

[quote]Perry was WAY above average before he blew his colon and mind.

No he wasn't. He was a nice-looking guy, but nowhere near 'WAY above average.'

No but seriously, I wonder why Matt Perry walks the earth?

I’m glad Keanu Reeves still walks the earth. He is the nicest celebrity I’ve ever met and I’ve enjoyed lots of his movies. Even when he’s bad, it’s funny and he is so damn gorgeous.

Friends is so shitty. NYC living for people who have never been to NYC.

Keanu and River were very good friends.

I think they mean Perry's comedy chops.

Whereas Keanu Reeves' projects have a high degree of versimillitude.

Keanu in drag was prettier than a lot of actual women.

He can be the Nick Arnstein to Beanie's Fannie Brice!

Not really. Too male.

You don't have to act if you looked like this...

Keanu was unbelievably hot in Point Break.

I tol’ you he was an ass hoal!

....

R120, R121 Matthew got his foot in the door because his father is actor John Bennett Perry.

Here is John guesting on “Friends”. He was a handsome man that aged well. He was 57 here. Matthew is currently 53 and did not age well.

Can't believe people are arguing over who's more than talented when perry actually wished death on this man. I don't care how talented(I personally don't think he is) at best you're just inviting bad karma for wishing death on another human being, but at worst exposed yourself publicly as a shitty excuse(emphasis on Shitty)for a human being and worse than the subject you're trying to degrade. An amazing lack of self awareness from perry especially looking up from the bottom which is where he is.

If Perry was at the top, would it be better? Keanu will live. Perry may live. Untwist your panties.

[quote]What the hell is wrong with Matthew Perry?

For one thing, in the photo at OP he looks like a thumb dressed in a jacket and tie.

I don't panties eldergay R282 People from the top don't need to resort to such attention seeking antics to sell a memoir which ironically won't even be remembered after this fiasco dies down. I personally don't think perry has much time left.

Not sure if there is a term for a junkie who quit but didn’t do the psychological/spiritual work, but in AA Perry would be called a dry drunk.. That said, a sober asshole is slightly better than a stoned one.

[Quote] I don't panties eldergay

ESL?

a chin implant would do wonders for Perry's looks and it's a simple procedure.

Typo you bigot R286

Keanu isn't a great actor, the only reason why John Wick movies are successful is because there is limited acting, all just shooting and violence, not much acting involved.

Beanie would look better than him if she were a drugged out dude and as old as he is.

He wasn't that great in Devil's advocate either.

[Quote] a chin implant would do wonders for Perry's looks and it's a simple procedure.

He'd need them to construct a jawline too.

The only thing I've seen matthew perry in other the clips of friends on YouTube is the movie "fool rush in" and Salma Hayek completely ecli eclipsed him. It was HER movie.

KR is certainly an attractive man, R273, but he certainly doesn't look better (in drag) than a woman.

Agreed. Keanu in drag looks like a man in drag. (Surprise, surprise.)

[quote]at best you're just inviting bad karma for wishing death on another human being,

You must be new here. Welcome to our first time DL visitor.

Come for the snark. Stay for the bitchiness.

Die in a grease fire!

We haven't had a good old-fashioned grease fire here at DL in far too long, in my opinion.

R137, the idea of a RDJ comeback for Matthew Perry would only be possible if Perry was, you know, talented, attractive, likeable and intelligent.

And had an asshole, instead of being one.

I did not like Heath Ledger in his role as “Joker”.

I like Keanu too, but this thread seems to be full of shills. Everyone on DL over the years has said something along the lines of these comments - Keanu really can’t act.

You think Keanu needs shills on DL?

I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of Point Break at old AVCO in Westwood. That night Swayze and Keanu literally shone.

^

We think plenty of guys are hot. We don't claim they can act because of it.

Matthew has Mommy issues.

Well, someone needs to ask Linda what's goin' on...

He can act well enough. Highly underrated.

Maybe his acting has gotten better. but it was pretty bad in the early years.

Sure jan.

I think if the excerpts from the book had been about Reeves being a bad actor, no one would blink at them. But "he should have died instead of ___!" is a pretty awful thing to say about practically anyone, and directed at someone who has a decades-old reputation for kindness and generosity is extremely telling.

Hope you enjoy your table for two with Unknown Hinson out in the alley behind the restaurants, Perry!

I loved Perry and Keanu in "A Night In The Ass of Jimmy Fallon."

[Quote] I think if the excerpts from the book had been about Reeves being a bad actor, no one would blink at them.

I don't think that's quite true. Reeves is beloved, perhaps because he's such a blank slate.

He is now forced to walk it back. Lol. Im guessing he has been living under a rock all these years due to his medical, psychiatric and addiction issues and had no idea that Keanu had a career and internet renaissance. Probably has no idea who the president is and that there is a war in ukraine.

It was fashionable to shit on keanu in the 90s: bad actor, whoa dude mannerisms in every role yet somehow worked in prestige movies with prestige directors and got paid a lot. While Stoned and drugged out of his mind and rumored to have done the casting couch. That is enough to make any middling actor think that the world aint fair and there is no god. And now, even worse, he has been anointed the Blessed St. Keanu of the Internet, who can do no wrong, and the internet mob will go after Perry forever. Perry is not coming back from this.

Alternately: He decided to be "controversial" to garner some headlines.

🐷🐷🐷🐷

Well, he doesn’t deserve to come back after displaying his sour, asshole self for no reason.

It’s not an uncommon sentiment to have. A well-known widow of a famous man once said that at his funeral she was full of resentment towards everyone present there for being alive while her husband was dead. I guess the difference is she kept that to herself at the time.

Sure if River Phoenix and Heath Ledger were Matthew’s husband. But he is nobody to them, at the most, River’s forgotten extra in a movie.

Maybe MP will get casted on Dancing with Star, if he can dance without colon.

Matthew is done. Whatever he was trying to accomplish by this book- no one will buy it.

I saw the promo for Diana Sawyer interview with him...has it aired yet? I think it was tonight or tomorrow. Haven't seen Diane in a long time!

Diane always interviews the druggies.

"casted"

Very stupid and insensitive thing for Matt to say.

On a different note, this thread is making me wistful for the 90s.

If that was really his walk back at r311, wow. He's pretty awful.

Just goes to show all the career success and money in the world won’t make you feel any less hard done by. Sad.

Matthew can donate some of his salary to me, a person with an autoimmune disorder who can't work, and I would be perfectly content with anything he could give. Maybe then he would feel better about his life. I certainly would. He's really messed with my image of him and kind of ruined a part of the 90s for me.

He’s smart, Keanu’s dumb. He’s fugly, Keanu’s pretty. He’s talented, Keanu’s not.

I can see why he’s bitter, but he needs to let it go, and enjoy his vast wealth.

Do we actually have proof that Keanu is "dumb?" He's made a number of very smart choices in his career, and it's paid off vastly.

I haven't gotten the impression that he's dumb, although he was typecast playing characters who were early on. His acting ability is dubious, sure, but he makes up for it in likeability, which tends to be one of the keys for a successful movie career.

Matthew Perry saying “Heath and River were great thinkers”. Junkies will junky! 🙄

[quote]It was fashionable to shit on keanu in the 90s:

I used to love it when the hot/adorable Andrew Bowen spoofed him several times on MADtv.

Well, the twitterati have gone spastic at Perry. He's trending on twatter right now. Even Blacks are defending Reeves as an "unproblematic white male" which I found amusing as KR has always looked slightly ethnic to me.

KR is part Asian.

Keanu part Asian, on his dad's side. His dad is half asian

Has anyone started a 2023 celebrity Deadpool list yet? I’d like to add Perry.

Grayson Perry?

Keanu created a lovable persona and a multi million dollar career that has lasted 35+ years. And Matthew Perry?

Keanu cant be that dumb. Even he knew Speed 2 was going to be a turd.

I met Keanu in 2009 and we spoke for 10 minutes. He was gorgeous, and witty. He seemed very bright, not dumb at all.

I used to make fun of ‘dumb Keanu’- especially regarding his role in Little Buddha.

But after chatting with him- I was/am an unattractive nobody- I was smitten. He was nice and thoughtful and funny with me for no reason.

Couldn’t see that happening with Matty Shitbag.

Im really interested in how St. Keanu internet boyfriend happened I think it probably started out organically, but his PR just ran away with it now. It seems everybody’s grandmother has spoken to Keanu and been blessed by his kindness.

Sorry Matthew Perry, nobody wants to talk about you in your thread.

Why try to be a good actor when you can become a saint?

I agree completely.

Why not both?

Why try to become a good rabbi when you can become God?

This was probably mentioned upthread, but MP said the same thing when he heard about Chris Farley’s death. WTD does he have against Keanu?!

After listening to parts of the interview with fellow alcoholic Diane Sawyer, I'm convinced Perry wrote the book because he knows he's dying, and won't be around in another year or so. His body is far too damaged from all the drugs, alcohol...

WTF^

Keanu is a bottom, right?

At least Johnny Depp was actually once a good actor who made good movies.

R353, duh.

Is he the one who played Carol's boyfriend who died from drinking and driving on Growing Pains?

So Keanu is dumb according to you R330, but bloated, pill popping, no colon having, no future career prospects, needle dick matthew perry is the smart one of the two? Give me the number of your drug dealer because he's selling you some good shit!

A celebrity was charming to their public? Oh WOW!

he sounds very weird in the interview. his voice. what's wrong with him?

There's a rumor going around that he's had a stroke r360. I don't know if that's true or not and I can't recall where I heard it.

R359 Celebrities can be big fat assholes. I’ve met plenty. I’m a nobody. A waiter. Not hot. But Keanu was kind and interesting. And beautiful. Yes it was an OH WOW moment.

You sound bitter. You prefer shitbag wearing shit talking Matthew from Friends!

Praise The Lord

His half-assed apology is here:

[quote]In a statement shared to media outlets including People, Perry said, “I’m actually a big fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead.”

I just chose a random name . . . TWICE! Whatever, dude.

I cannot wait for Matthew Perry to stumble off the wagon again. He cannot stay sober for any extended period of time. 18 months of sobriety?...yawn...This will not end well.

He's an entry on my Death pool list.

What a colostomy bag of an apology.

Some few people are just naturally kind. Nobody has anything bad to say about Olivia Newton-John either, even before she died.

Olivia Newton-John was one of the loveliest people ever, a total sweetheart.

I don't believe a total sweetheart would raise a Chloe.

Crack is whack.

Matt is fatt.

Perry is scary.

"Friends" offends.

Does Matt have any brothers or sisters? I am just curious about who in going to inherit his money.

Doesn't he have a bunch of younger half-siblings on his Mom's side? They should be adults now.

Don't know if his Dad had any more kids. On a side note, his Dad was a snack when young.

Link of Dad, r374?

His daddy

His dad still looked good on Friends. He had the jawline that Matthew lacks.

Matthew Perry has one half-sister from his father and four half-siblings from his mother. His stepfather is Dateline's Keith Morrison.

[quote] he sounds very weird in the interview. his voice. what's wrong with him?

When you almost die you don’t always get brought back to perfect health.

Daddy was a beauty

It's kind of funny when a parent is more attractive than their child. I've seen pictures of Rob Lowe's father as a young man and believe it or not he was even more of a beauty than Rob was.

Like Chandler Bing (who was actually my favorite character on Friends), MP has always seemed like someone who thinks they’re waaaaay funnier than they are.

He should’ve sought to settle a score with an actor he’s had a bad experience with instead of targeting “the Internet’s Boyfriend.”

Martin Sheen in Badlands was more handsome than his famous offspring.

[quote] instead of targeting “the Internet’s Boyfriend.

Who is, Keanu? I didn’t consent to this. #metoo

How do we know he didn't have a bad experience with Keanu?

Who has had a bad experience with Keanu? I've never seen or heard a thing.

Perry's father, yeah hot way back in the day, but has he ever tried to help his son, or is he just waiting for a windfall too?

[quote]Who has had a bad experience with Keanu? I've never seen or heard a thing.

I had a very bad experience, but not with Keanu.

R363 not the only bad actor to have achieved sainthood.

It’s surprising how recently Perry dated Lizzy Caplan, who’s way too hot for him.

Chandler was really gorgeous in season 10.

You can't blame any of his friends or family. If the cunt doesn't think he has a problem, nobody can help him. The addict gotta admit he's got a problem and WANTS to be helped.

He’s now saying he picked his name randomly and apologized.

Of course this is bullshit bc he’s said it more than once through the years.

remember he was outed for asking some whore to buy drugs for him? she posted the text message online. that wasn't so long ago, maybe a year?

Back in the 90s I was a fan of Perry's and thought Keanu was a joke. My, how times have changed.

He must be jealous because Keanu is so effortlessly hot and cool. What a douche.

I’m sure Beanie would never speak of Matthew in such profane terms!

[Quote] Back in the 90s I was a fan of Perry's and thought Keanu was a joke. My, how times have changed.

What has Keanu done to changer your mind?

I’m not a fan of either. Keanu however seems like a nice guy and nobody seems to have anything bad to say about him until now. It’s like someone randomly going after Sandra bullock. We know they aren’t the greatest or most interesting actors, but they radiate a niceness.

r399 A lot of people hate Sandra Bullock

What's there to talk despite what the promo already tells us.

I rarely watched the show, and this guy isn't really very interesting.

What happened to him is hardly unique and he never was a particularly big whatever

Sandra Bullock, whose husband enjoys Nazi paraphernalia?

My sister's 85 year old father-in-law looks far better than this 53 year old douche.

The interview with Diane Sawyer with anything but compelling, a real snoozefest.

It's really hard to muster up sympathy for a alky/junkie who has a net worth of 80 million.

And yet if Keanu overdoses on Fentanyl, you'll boo hoo over it...

Perry is fat, rich, ugly and bitter. I have two words for DL:

GET HER!

Ok but now I feel a smidge sorry for Perry after seeing a Diane Sawyer clip. He’s a mess.

Diane creeps me tf out.

Matthew may finally has the face, and the colon, he deserves.

He may have ruined his colon, but he still has that pained constipated expression.

Thanks to the NY Post who has released a story from Matthew's bio every day this week...

I can't imagine there's anyone left who actually wants to buy his shitty book filled with shitty stories

R401 Wow what kind of shit rural MAGAt opiate-infested hellhole do you live in that what happened to Matthew Perry is 'normal'?

Whose Matthew Perry?

Perry's a jealous bitch. And what did he ever do except appear in a TV series?

Frankly Im astonished hes been given any attention at all. Nobody cares about this grotesque creature anymore,if they ever did.

His front teeth fell out when he was eating peanut butter on toast!

He will continue to move from expensive house to condo, until he's found dead.

Is it possible that Matthew is friends with Keanu, and he said that as a joke? If so, it would be kind of funny.

It would be an odd joke to make as it involved the overdose death of a mutual friend.

On GMA this AM

I don't know wtf is wrong with Matthew Perry, but I laugh every time I scroll past the picture in the OP. Could he LOOK any more bizarre??

Wow, a guy whose face is melting into his neck and is a self-proclaimed drug addict is casting aspersions on Canoe Reeves of all people!

Never watched "Friends", and I'm pretty pleased about that. Is this guy a good actor? I can't seem to recall anything of note that featured him.

I never miss Canoe Reeves' show on the Travel Channel.

I love Kenanoo Reives.

Did Canoe Reeves ever work with Anne He He?

'The comments came out of left field!' Keanu Reeves 'reacts to THAT Matthew Perry jibe' - after Friends star questioned why Speed actor 'still walks among us'

Keanu Reeves has 'responded' after Matthew Perry questioned why the actor 'still walks among us' in his new autobiography, reports US Magazine.

Friends star Perry, 53, caused a social media storm after he wrote in his memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, 'Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?'

A source close to Reeves, 58 - who is known as the 'internet's boyfriend' due to his caring nature and numerous good deeds - told the publication: 'Keanu thought the comments came out of left field.

'It’s kind of backfired on Matthew anyway, which is why he had to apologize.'

After the revelation, the Friends actor released a statement clarifying his comments to People on Wednesday as he said: 'I'm actually a big fan of Keanu.

'I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead.'

In the excerpt Perry seemed to be barely able to hold back his disdain for the Matrix star — whom he doesn't appear to have ever collaborated with — while discussing their mutual friend River Phoenix, who died in 1993 of a drug overdose at only 23.

Although Reeves has called Phoenix one of his 'closet friends of that era,' according to the Irish Times, Perry also had a strong connection with the rising star after the future TV mainstay made his feature film debut opposite him in 1988's A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon.

In his memoir, Perry describes how their time filming the movie in Chicago helped establish a strong bond, while also tagging another presumed jab at Reeves.

'River was a beautiful man inside and out and too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down,' he writes.

Phoenix famously died of a combined drug overdose from heroin and cocaine outside the Viper Room in West Hollywood, and Perry writes that he 'heard the screaming from my apartment; went back to bed; woke up to the news.'

He added that he broke down in sobs after learning his friend had died.

Perry's jabs and Reeves weren't limited to their mutual connection to Phoenix, though.

He also blasted the John Wick star in another aside while discussing his late friend Chris Farley, who died in 1997 at age 33 of a drug overdose from combining a stimulant (cocaine) with a depressant (morphine), a similar concoction to the speedball that killed Phoenix.

Perry and Farley had starred together in the critically reviled Christopher Guest–directed comedy Almost Heroes, which was released in the year following Farley's death.

'I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out [about Farley's death],' he writes, adding, 'Keanu Reeves walks among us.'

Aside from his grievances about other actors, Perry delves into his extensive history with drug addiction in his memoir and in recent interviews, which may have made the deaths of Phoenix, Ledger and Farley particularly painful.

While speaking to People earlier this month, he revealed that his colon ruptured as a result of his opioid addiction when he was 49. Doctors gave him only a two percent chance of survival, and the medical emergency left him in a coma for two weeks, followed by months more in the hospital.

He required 14 surgeries to help repair all of the abdominal damage, and he admitted to having gone to rehab 15 times over the years in hopes of kicking his drug addiction.

Hey, I'm here for a drug-addled confessional that hasn't been sanitized for (y)our protection. Let him rant! If anything, Keanu has only benefited from the misguided attention.

This is in no way a defense of Perry (who I will admit I enjoyed on friends), but I have never understood the appeal of Keanu. What is it you all see in him?

[quote] Although Reeves has called Phoenix one of his 'closet friends of that era,' according to the Irish Times

Who were his other closet friends?

[quotes] 'River was a beautiful man inside and out and too beautiful for this world,

Geez this is a dig at all of us who keep on living…

What is wrong?

He's a drunk, he's a junkie, he's old, he's bitter, he has no talent, he is not Jennifer Aniston nor is he Keanu Reeves and he is just known as a non-actor from a corny sitcom that X and Millennial women worship. He wants attention and this is the only way he can get it.

I think River would have faded away as an actor, if he didn't OD, he'd either lose out on roles due to his drug addiction and increasingly unprofessional behavior, he would commit suicide if he didn't get psychiatric help he needed or he would come to his senses, would retire early, find himself and live a life of solitude and release mediocre hippie alt-rock with his band. In any of these timelines, Keanu would still be a Hollywood star and Matthew Perry would still be a nobody who cling onto a sitcom.

These too-precious-for-this-world original thinkers should maybe have the non-original thought of saying "no" once in a while when people are offering them coke and heroin. Then they might get to deal with heart attacks or strokes in their retirement years instead of surprise exploding internal organs at a much younger age.

R430 River wasn't an "original" thinker. He was a young guy raised in a cult that his parents indoctrinated him into. Even after they left it, River had the dogmatic black-and-white thinking of an intensely religious person. He couldn't understand nuance or moderation in anything and developed a victim complex. Martha Plimpton talked a lot about him and his stubbornness, refusal to change his beliefs and passive aggressive behavior. He would panic at the thought of even eating animals and cried when he say Martha eat a piece of fish. He could never admit to being on drugs because he was so intense about his public image and being a good role model and preaching vegetarianism, animal welfare, environmentalism and trying to stop corruption in politics. He went intense in everything as he never developed good critical thinking and it made him weak, too trusting of the wrong people and too dismissive of the right people

Thank God Matthew didn’t take Beanie down with him.

Keanu is a bad actor but by all accounts is a kind person.

Matthew Perry is a bad actor and by all accounts an unkind person.

Keanu wins.

He's just being an arsehole to compensate for the one he ruined.
