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.
Perry’s comments had caused controversy, and he had issued an apology to People, clarifying that he was a fan of Reeves and had only used his name as a random example. However, at the Festival of Books event, Perry reiterated that he had tried not to go after anyone in the book, and he wanted to give people credit for the things they did right.
Perry’s apology shows that people can learn from their mistakes and take responsibility for their actions. It is essential to be mindful of our words and actions, especially in the age of social media, where they can have a significant impact on others. We should strive to be kind and respectful to others, even when we may disagree with them or have differences of opinion. Perry’s decision to remove Reeves’ name from future editions of his book is a small but important step towards making amends and showing respect to others.
