Matthew Perry wishes Keanu Reeves was dead

[Rebel 5,221]

Matthew Perry’s upcoming memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” includes more than a handful of revelations, including Perry having to exit a movie after his heart stopped for five minutes, but perhaps the most shocking is a pair of seemingly out-of-nowhere digs Perry throws at fellow actor Keanu Reeves. At two points in the memoir, Perry questions why Reeves is still alive when “talented” actors and “original thinkers” like River Phoenix and Chris Farley had tragic deaths.

“The list of geniuses who were ahead of their time is too long to detail here — suffice to say, near the top of any such list should be my costar in ‘A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon,’ River Phoenix,” Perry writes. Perry continues later on, “River was a beautiful man, inside and out — too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us? River was a better actor than me; I was funnier. But I certainly held my own in our scenes — no small feat, when I look back decades later.”

Keanu Reeves is cited again when Perry writes about the death of comedian Chris Farley. “His disease had progressed faster than mine had. (Plus, I had a healthy fear of the word ‘heroin,’ a fear we did not share),” Perry writes. “I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out. Keanu Reeves walks among us. I had to promote ‘Almost Heroes’ two weeks after he died; I found myself publicly discussing his death from drugs and alcohol. I was high the entire time.”

Now what the hell

[nATAH 44,180]

mess in my head, i finished the cut off thread title as "would die" or something and i was GAGGED to see that i was right

[River 107,465]

Ignore her, she snorts.

[Edonis 28,829]

The title was trashy but what Perry said was even trashier…like what did Keanu Reeves do to him to warrant calling him out in this context? 

[Gardevoir 9,662]

And of all people Keanu Reeves that is a golden human being?

[nodandsmile 9,856]

Why is Keanu in it?

mentioned him twice too lmfao

[LaLuna 12,732]

OMG, I hate him so much for this. Keanu is an amazing human being, one of the only down-to-earth celebs left in Hollywood. How dare he say those horrible things about him

And he’s HOT 

[Anderson123 36,265]

So random that out of all the Hollywood people he could’ve made that comparison with, he went for Keanu. He’s known for being one of the nicest guys out there. 
 

Edit: Now that I think about it, they’ve mentioned Matthew does have a weird/dark sense of humor so it’d make sense he named Keanu out of all the people out there.

and honestly, if this was a take at being comedic, it feels sick. The point could have been made without name dropping someone else to make a point.

[butthole 9,870]

ew wtf. this is so gross.

it's one thing if he wished it when he was grieving their loss almost 30 years ago, but still harboring those feelings?

Oh yeah. I've had a crush on him for almost 30 years now 

[Ivy 11,755]

Maybe he has some dirt on Keanu from when they were young 

[Wolf Boy 3,174]

The topic title is doing way too much

[Joshie S 5,913]

Keanu probably beat Matthew our for a lot of roles he went for, that's why there's some sort of jealousy or beef.  Who knows though, anything could have happened between them privately, or something Matthew has observed. Maybe he just doesn't like Keanu's acting.  

Whatever the reason is, I hope Matthew is doing better these days. It's a shame.
