Matthew Perry says he will remove Keanu Reeves diss from new editions of his memoir: ‘It was a mean thing to do’

Matthew Perry has apologized for his negative comments about Keanu Reeves in his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.” Speaking at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Saturday, Perry expressed regret for his comments and announced that he would remove any mention of Reeves from future editions of the book. The Friends star had questioned why Reeves was still alive when other talented actors like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger had died young.

Perry admitted that his comments were stupid and mean, and while he hasn’t apologized to Reeves in person, he said that he would do so if he ran into him. The actor also shared that he has been in therapy since he was 18 years old and that his book was not meant to blame others for his struggles with addiction and alcoholism.
