Matthew Perry plans to make some large adjustments to his memoir shifting ahead!
For those that don’t recall, the 53-year-old actor got here below fireplace shortly after the discharge of his guide Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing final 12 months. Why is that? He made some brutal remarks about Keanu Reeves, questioning a number of instances why he “still walks among us” when “really talented guys” and “original thinkers like” River Phoenix, Chris Farley, and Heath Ledger had handed away. It was very harsh!
Considering Matthew didn’t clarify within the memoir why The Matrix star was known as out, many believed that these two stars had unknown beef with one another. However, that was not the case! Following the backlash, Matthew launched an apologetic assertion to People and claimed he select “a random name” when writing the guide:
“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.”

Hmm. There’s no unhealthy blood? Really? It is tough to imagine he had pulled the identify of somebody well-known like Keanu to jokingly want the Speed star would kick the bucket — and there finally ends up being nothing extra to the story than a easy “mistake.”
But months after the controversy, Matthew is taking it a step additional than an apology. At the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Saturday, the Friends alum revealed he plans on omitting Keanu’s identify from all future editions of the memoir:
“I said a stupid thing. It was a mean thing to do. I pulled his name because I live on the same street. I’ve apologized publicly to him. Any future versions of the book will not have his name in it.”
Matthew then famous he has not been capable of apologize to the 58-year-old personally but, including:
“If I run into the guy, I’ll apologize. It was just stupid.”
For his half, Keanu by no means addressed the controversy publicly. But an Us Weekly supply stated the John Wick actor was blindsided by the feedback on the time:
“Keanu thought the comments came out of left field. It’s kind of backfired on Matthew anyway, which is why he had to apologize.”
We’ll must see if Matthew follows by way of on his promise! Reaction to his announcement, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback beneath!
