In his recently released memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Matthew Perry has sparked controversy by mentioning Keanu Reeves in an unexpected context. The “Friends” star, known for his role as Chandler Bing, made surprising remarks about Reeves, which have left fans and critics puzzled and curious about the intention behind his comments.

In one section of the memoir, Perry reflects on the tragic deaths of talented actors like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger, expressing his grief over their untimely passings. However, he then makes an unusual remark about Keanu Reeves, stating, “Why is it that original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” This comment has been interpreted by many as a jab at Reeves, raising eyebrows and sparking a wave of criticism online.

Fans of Keanu Reeves, who is widely admired for his kindness and humility, were quick to defend him on social media. Many expressed confusion over Perry’s decision to single out Reeves, questioning the relevance and necessity of such a statement in the context of his memoir. Some have speculated that Perry may have been attempting to make a point about the unpredictability of life, but the way he framed it has certainly caused a stir.

Perry later addressed the backlash, stating that he was a fan of Reeves and that the comment was meant to be a lighthearted, albeit poorly executed, joke. Despite his explanation, the controversy surrounding the remark has lingered, with many still debating its appropriateness and the impact of celebrity memoirs on public perception.
