Crackhead Matthew Perry Wishes Keanu Reeves Was Dead Multiple Times In New Memoir
This worthless ghoul has never been funny or remotely talented, and someone thought it was a good idea for him to write a memoir? About what? Being a worthless ghoul? Oh, he’s a recovering crackhead and a millionaire. I guess that makes him interesting. What’s truly insane is that the editor of the memoir (assuming there was an editor?) allowed Matthew Perry to wish not once but twice that actor Keanu Reeves was dead, for literally no reason. Via Variety:
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?”
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.”

Keanu Reeves has starred in some of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful, and iconic movies of all time for each of the last four decades (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, My Own Private Idaho, Speed, The Matrix, John Wick), while Matthew Perry had a one-note role in the worst, most overrated sitcom in television history. The only obvious explanation for Perry wishing Reeves dead is that Perry was still on crack when he “wrote” the memoir.
Perry tried to apologize later today, issuing a statement to Deadline that reads: “I’m actually a big fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead.”
He’s apparently still on crack even now.
Keanu Reeves was devastated upon learning of his friend River Phoenix’s death in 1993, making Perry’s comparison as cruel as it is psychotic.
