Matthew Perry opens up in his new book about his attention-getting relationship with Julia Roberts in the mid-1990s and the reason it came to an end.
The actor recalls in his new memoir “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” according to an excerpt published by the Times of London, that Roberts expressed interest in appearing on “Friends” but “she would only do the show if she could be in [Chandler’s] story line.” At the urging of “Friends” creator Marta Kauffman, Perry sent Roberts three dozen roses and a witty card, in an effort to “woo” the “Pretty Woman” star to take the job. “Thus began a three-month-long courtship by daily faxes.
From there, the pair quickly began a relationship and were a couple when Roberts appeared in the “Friends” episode that was set to air after the Super Bowl. Perry goes on to describe some of the sweeter moments during their short-lived romance – including a visit to Roberts’ family in Taos, New Mexico, for New Year’s 1996 – but “two months later, I was single.” “Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me.
