Matthew facts

[Peanut Butter]

Alevermor had an idea about a game to collect interesting facts about Jen (http://www.friendscafe.org/forum/showthread.php?p=385405#post385405) (http://www.friendscafe.org/forum/showthread.php?p=385405#post385405)) which I've found really-really great. :) And being a huge fan of our Matthew, I immediately thought of starting this one. :)

The rule according to the author :) :
"You just have to name any random facts about Matthew that you know...this way we can learn some interesting facts and share them as well"

So, let's go!

1. When he'd like to hide for publicity, he uses his "closed" BMW.

[ScAmNeT]

do ya mean hacts like he smokes or he made an apparition in ally mcbeal ??

[Peanut Butter]

I would mean facts that are not so well-known. E.g. it is a fact that he's an actor, lives in LA, has brown hair, needs glasses to see well but it would be for more interesting things like how bad are is eyes (how strong glasses does he need), what did he think about his roles as an actor, how many flats or houses does he live in (does he have other houses outside LA) etc. You see what I mean. Let's collect all the interesting and rare details we know about Matthew! Let's use each other's brains! :)

[Peanut Butter]

Alright, I continue, hopefully others will join me too! :)

2. He never cooks.

This is old but Matthew talks pretty candidly about himself.

Q&A with Matthew Perry
By Gayle Jo Carter

http://www.usaweekend.com/99_issues/991024/images/991024perry.jpgMatthew Perry, famous as Chandler on Friends and now on the big screen in Three to Tango, is reaching a new chapter in life. He's just turned 30 and says he's realized lately that friends (and family -- he has five half siblings) are a lot more important and lasting than the rocket to fame he's been riding the last five years. The wisecracking comedian still comes out in small riffs during the interview, but the ready-to-settle-down Matthew Perry is the real surprise.

Q. What type of hair products do you have on today?
Well, it's a two-product combo. It's a boring ritual. It's kind of Something About Mary kind of hair. But it's something called Crew; it's a white stuff. You just put it on when it's wet and go to town.



Q. You just turned 30. What did you think as you were approaching that?
Well, I was getting nervous about it. I wrote a pilot about turning 30. That's what the ABC show is about. It's about a psychologist [who's] turning 30 and freaking about it. I was doing this movie up in Canada with Bruce Willis ... and Kevin Pollak, who I became friends with. He said, 'You're turning 30?' I said, 'Yeah, I'm pretty boned about it. He literally just went, 'Shut up! Shut up!' And he explained to me that my life was in great shape. That actually helped. I feel good about it. So I think 30 is going to be OK. I think there used to be kind of a stigma attached to turning 30 -- if you're not married and don't have three kids and don't have all your ducks in a row, you should shoot down some ducks by the time you're 30.



Q. Is there a defining difference between generations in Hollywood? What's different about you at 30?
A 19-year-old actor would actually say that he's the best actor. A 29-year-old wouldn't say that. That's why they take 19-year-olds out to war, because they have this feeling they can do no wrong. ... I've had some successes and some failures. If we did this interview when I was 18, it would be completely different. When I was 18, I was on a show called Second Chance. It was ranked, I believe, 101st out of 101 shows. [Close enough -- it was No. 119 out of 123.] That's when I had an attitude.


Q: Was humor a protective device?
Certainly, for me. When I started to realize that getting a laugh was a fun thing to do, I became obsessed with it when I was 7 or 8. It's a great way to fill silences. Now, I'm a little bit more comfortable with silence.

Q: It's been a great, great year for Friends. Now you're getting a lot more depth on the show.
I think the cast started to like the show again and realize what a great place this is to work. And some new story lines obviously brought new life into the show. I was very psyched that I was part of that, and the whole "Monica-and-Chandler" thing was neat, because we're back to the two most neurotic characters, bringing them into a whole new area, where you can see this whole new area of neurosis. People started to really like them together, which was cool.



Q. Does it worry you that when Friends is over, things will change?
I do think about that. But you're hitting me at a most confident time, because I've just finished this movie [The Whole Nine Yards] that is really good. And more importantly, kind of for the first time, I had fun making a movie. I wasn't that big a fan before this of the process. But on this movie, I actually had a great time.

PERSONAL BATTLES
Perry describes beating his addiction to painkillers and the perils of having success and fame early in life.


Q: So in the past six years, you've changed. Who has been your support system?
When the rain started to fall? My family. When I was in a troubled situation a couple of years ago, they were completely there. My mom and my dad and close friends. I have a group of about five close friends,[who were] really great. My girlfriend at the time was amazing, too.


Q. Are they the ones who pushed you to get help?
No, I kind of knew the whole time. I knew I was in trouble and yet I knew I had work to do still. And basically, I knew I was in trouble in February of that year and couldn't do anything about it until April. And I said to myself, as soon as I'm done working, I'll take care of this, which was exactly what I did.


Q: Was it hard to admit that?
Yes -- the hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life. Because you're not sure what happened, and it's embarrassing. Once you get through something like that, your life changes. I challenge some people to go through what I went through.


Q. What would you tell people who need help?
Well, the best thing I can tell you is that if you think there's a problem, go right now and tell somebody -- right away -- which is really a difficult thing to do. The truth is that anything I can say to anyone who has a problem wouldn't really help them unless they obviously decide to fix it themselves. When I was going through my pain, nobody could say anything.


Q. Did people try to say things?
Yeah, but I always had an excuse. People in that sort of situation lie about everything. There are people in the know, counselors, who can really help and are cool people, not just bumper-sticker talk people. There's help out there, and once you get through something like that, your life changes.


Q. Why do you think there's so much substance abuse among actors or do you think it's the same as with the general population but just more public?
I think it's both. Part of it has to do with that you get amazingly too much an amount of attention just thrown at you, and it's difficult to figure out; do you deserve the attention, do you? Why is this happening and will it continue? No one told me to be an actor. I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to get the attention. I wanted to get the girls. I wanted to get the best table at the restaurant. And it wasn't until about a year and a half into it, where it was kind of no turning back, that I realized that, 'No, that's not the reason to become an actor.' There's, like, little nice things about all those perks, but there's also really bad things that go along with it. Like, I want to take my little brother and sister to Magic Mountain. Can't! Can't really do that anymore.


Q. Is it too much money? Is that part of the issue?
There's a very bizarre thing with 18- and 19-year-olds walking around with a lot of money. That's a bizarre thing. That wasn't an issue with me, because I never really thought or cared about money that much. As long as I can do whatever I want tomorrow. I'm lucky enough to be in that position. But if you ask me how much money I had, I wouldn't know. But I've been lucky enough that if I want to go on vacation tomorrow, I can. That's kind of the way I think about money. Much of it goes to my business manager, someone who's a lot more responsible.

Q. Is it difficult to avoid the tabloids, especially when you're in a relationship with someone high profile, like Julia Roberts?
Uh, that was a very strange time. Because that's when I got a true taste of what famous is. I literally have not looked at [a tabloid] for a few years. And pretty much everyone around me knows to not talk about it, because 95% of the time they're completely wrong, and they're lying.

GROWING UP
His dad, John Bennett Perry (an actor featured for years in Old Spice commercials), and his mom, Suzanne Morrison (press aide for Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in the '70s and '80s) divorced when he was a year old.


Q: Did your parents' divorce have a big effect on you?
I was one, so I had no idea. But it's had an effect on me later on in life. It was tough. I grew up mostly just with my mom. It would have been nice to have a dad around. But what it taught me was that when I have a kid, I want to really know. I know that's imposible because things change, but I want to be very careful before I have a child, so I don't put them through that.


Q: Were you lonely?
Hey, are you Barbara Walters? Was I lonely? Of course, but I had friends. I think that's ultimately why I developed some kind of sense of humor -- to shield any hurt I was experiencing. It's served me well.


Q. Do you get your sense of humor from your mom?
I think it's a combination of both, because my father's real funny, too. But that kind of "zinger-one-liner" thing, I think I got from her. She'll just say something completely out of the blue that will just really make people laugh.

Q. What's the most important thing your dad ever taught you?
It's twofold: all of this doesn't matter unless you're a good guy and have stuff other than this, so that your life is well-rounded. And that actually has been tough, because I've been lucky enough to be so busy in the last five years that I haven't really had time -- I've missed all that other stuff.

A FUTURE FAMILY


Q: Say you're 35. What's your ideal life?
A wife. Kids. A couple. Two is good. I'd have a friend to play with every night. By 35 -- I'd love being married by then. I'm a big fan of the institution. [And at work,] like Tom Hanks, being in the kind of situation where you get the best scripts.


Q: Who would be your wife?
The biggest thing is that she's happy and funny. Attractive would be nice. Not crazy -- that's a good thing to look for. ... Somebody who's a great mother. ... A friend of mine just got married. He said in his vows that he promised -- I just love this! -- to work and play with her. That's what I'm looking forward to: someone to work and play with.



Q. Who do you think is funny and what do you think is funny?
A little physical comedy cracks me up. That's when you see the guy walking down the street and falling down. To me, it's funny. Jim Carrey's stuff makes me laugh. And Michael Keaton, that kind of humor kills me. And then, smart humor, too, like Larry Sanders' show. I watch television all night, which I never used to do. But The Dennis Miller Show, which I think is the best show on television. Week to week, it makes me laugh harder than anything else on television. I watch SportsCenter like it's going out of style, and those guys are hysterical. But they do it every night. And that really makes me laugh. It's hard to make me laugh out loud. Something About Mary did.


Q: Is this a good time in your life?
It's the best time. Now and when Friends was just starting, all the newness. Just the stupid, giggling-under-my-blanket "Look at what's happening to me." Now, it's settling time. If the show stopped, I would be fine. I'm pretty confident in the other aspects of my career now. ... But I'm still loving the show. My favorite thing to do is the show.


Q. Does everybody feel that way?
It depends. You know, you either catch people ... like catch me in three weeks, I might be saying something different, but I think everybody still has a lot of fun doing the show. We're proud of the end product from week to week. Like you say, compared to the other stuff that's on, you know it's pretty much the only thing people are still watching and getting excited about. And I know that I will never, for the rest of my life, work with a group that is this talented and this tight. That'll never happen again. I know that. There's no way! Uh, we've bonded in such a way, because our lives have changed so dramatically, so quickly. The only people we can relate to are ourselves. So there's a lot of love there, and there's a tremendous amount of talent there. It's a time in our lives that will ultimately end. Because it was the first time for all of us, too, it'll never be like that.

EVERYONE HAS A QUIRK OR TWO

Q: As time goes on, have you become more or less like Chandler?
As he gets older, I get older. He no longer fears relationships. I no longer have that fear. And what I've always said is that he is just a little bit better dressed and a little bit funnier and a little bit more exaggerated than I am. But even if I truly calm down in my life, he can't. Because happy people are very boring people to watch on television.


Q. Right.
We're all losers, every single one of them. That's what Friends was from the beginning. And then when people started talking about the haircuts, and then we got famous, and we were on the cover of everything, people forgot that. But the truth of the matter is that if you look at each one of these six people, they're still losers.


Q. I guess people relate to them. They like to watch them because they feel better about themselves.
They feel better about themselves, and they relate to the negative aspects of the show. They try to do shows where people are happy, and who cares? Why would you watch it? You'd want to watch people struggle with something in life.


Q: What do you obsess about?
This is going to sound crazy, but I must be watching sports while I eat -- if I'm at home. Any sport will do. The other day, out of desperation, a miniature-golf tournament. That's the weirdest thing you can say about me.


Q. Do you worry?
Yeah, not anywhere near as much as I used to. I used to have a lot of career concerns: 'Am I doing the right thing?' And relationships with women ... I used to think that there was something wrong because I wasn't in a good one. But, you know, there's less of that now. Actually, I'm sleeping at night.


Q. What would be surprising to know about you?
Surprising about me? [I'm] kind of a romantic guy, not a lot of people know that.


Q. What would be your best romantic evening for you?
Two people just listening to each other, laughing and having a good time, is a really wonderful thing. Pretty places to walk. Quiet places. I'm a big candle guy; I like lighting candles and listening to music.




HAVE YOU HEARD MY ANSWERING MACHINE?


Q. Have you seen[i] Eyes Wide Shut?
Yeah. I think I'm still seeing it. That's how long it is. Have you heard my answering machine?


[font=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Q. No.
My answering machine says: "I'm not home right now, I'm still watching [i]Eyes Wide Shut. Ping. Ping."

[Peanut Butter]

That's a nice article. Thanks. :)

One more fact:
Signed a deal with ABC to cowrite a TV show called The Shrink about a young psychiatrist who is even more neurotic than his patients (around 99) - got not produced.

[Peanut Butter]

One of his favourite poets is Pablo Neruda.

[Shadowlord]

His favorite singers are Tori Amos and Shawn Colvin.
Although this information is pretty dated and his tastes may have changed.

[Peanut Butter]

He also likes Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen.

[Lore-Bing]

One of his favourite poets is Pablo Neruda.

Wow, his poetry is great in spanish too, but, latin poets? I prefere Jorge Luis Borges.

Lore

[Matty Fan]

Also he likes Sarah McLachlan, James Tayler an Klutzy (?) .

[Peanut Butter]

He is a passionate tennis player, meaning he even throws his racket if things don't work out the way he wants to. :)

[Alevermor]

HEY! YAY! I'm glad people like my idea!!

According to Courteney Cox Arquette he has a good singing voice (which I'd have to agree, he kinda sings in some friends episodes, and he doesn't sound bad!)

[Richie_Sambora]

lol that answering machine part is the best

umm...Hes a sucker for that sad, emoish music...so ive heard....supposbly if he hears something good and i guess you could say "after breakup like" then he'll pick it up.

Im a musician....and emo writer...I hope to make a cd one day...maybe!..lol Look out Matthew here comes Natalie Goik!

[Shadowlord]

maybe you can do a duet!

I also found this: Matthew Perry appeared in Beverly Hills: 90210 earlier in his career.
He said of his role: "Its kind of a blur, but I remember playing the
most popular kid in school who ends up with a gun in his mouth because
his Dad is so overbearing".

[Peanut Butter]

[Matty Fan]

Does anyone know how "strong" his glasses are?

Does anyone know, if he has contact lenses? He doesn´t wear his glasses all the time ...

[justapassenger_]

ok, now here's a question ... it's something i've always wondered about ... ok, watch seasons 1-4ish ... his teeth are crooked. and then around the end of season 4/start of season 5, his teeth are suddenly straight and very white. i was wondering if he had braces or something, or if he maybe got porcelain veneers or something?

[udun]

He prob went for treatment or something.Braces take like 2 years.Darn them.

[knicksfan]

What kinda treatment was it? You can't get teeth straight in a few months!

[Richie_Sambora]

you can get those clear braces that supposidly starighten you teeth...or you kno, hes rich, there has to be some sort of "teeth treatment"

[perrygirl]

he had work done on it that was his wisdom theet or something i read it somewhere

[justapassenger_]

^ yeah, that makes sense ... when i had my wisdom teeth out, it made a ton of room in my mouth, so any teeth that were crowded ... un-crowded themselves. lol.

[matthewperry4ever]

is a huge supporter of the the lili claire foundation (the founder of it was leslie litt, the casting director for friends)

[Peanut Butter]

He has joked that he loves to read about his “sexploits” as it makes him feel like a super stud. He said: "If I've read correctly, I'm the father of Liz Hurley's baby and I've dated 19 women I've never met.”
As to my calculations he is said to date 21 women (counting the 'more serious' ones) since 1993. He confirmed 7 of them, I'd say there were at least 11 true. :)

[Peanut Butter]

He is 6 ft 1

[udun]

Does getting out your wisdom teeth hurt?I have four,and they're really freakin me out,though they're not out yet.

[matthewperry4ever]

he cant - and has admitted to not being able to - dance (the chandler dance proves it)

[Peanut Butter]

Began acting in seventh grade when he played a gunslinger named Arriba Arriba Geneva in his Ashbury College production of a play called The Life and Death of Sneaky Fitch

[Peanut Butter]

His mother married Canadian anchorman Keith Morrison (NBC newscaster) when Perry was 10. His father, John's second wife is called Debbie.Brother and sisters: Caitlin(1981), Emily(1985), Willy(1987), and Madeline(1989) Morrison + Marie Perry (1983?)

[matthewperry4ever]

Hosted SNL in 1997

[AmberPerry]

Your right PB ;) Marie is 22 :D


He's VERY Close to his younger brothers and sisters but he says he gets jealous lol

[Peanut Butter]

In what way does he get jealous? *confused *

His ascendent is Virgin (he's a Leo).

[AmberPerry]

In what way does he get jealous? *confused *

I don't know, I read it in a interview when they asked him about all those younger brothers and sisters :o ;)

[chandler_b]

is missing the tip of one of his fingers on his right hand due to a stage door slamming closed on it when he was a young actor!! OUCH!

[hambone]

Click on the link and scroll down the page. Does anyone know how MP got these scars?
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/vcr/CskinArchive_15.html

[bluesky]

Click on the link and scroll down the page. Does anyone know how MP got these scars?
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/vcr/CskinArchive_15.html

He got these scars when he was playing hockey.

[udun]

Ouch......Better watch myself when I play now.I thought Hockey had those protection pads?

[Peanut Butter]

He cowrote at least 3 screenplays with Andrew Hill Newman: Maxwell's house, Imagining Emily, The Shrink

[lupinsmoon12391]

I'm like 97% positive that he got porcelein veneers (or however you spell them) since I went on a search and was wondering about it... Hmmm... it takes a trip to London to straighten your teeth, I guess. My hypothesis- chance to work with Bruce Willis? You'd straighten your teeth to do that, my friends.

[lupinsmoon12391]

Andrew Hill Newman (Matt's writer partner- though I've no clue if they did anything recently together) is one of the producers on Celebrity Poker Showdown, which he has appeared on 3 times.

[AmberPerry]

Ok this isnt a fact but a Question
Is Matthew Jewish?

I remember he won some kind of a Jewish of the year award or something a long time ago lol.. I had no idea he was Jewish ;) Maybe part Jewish or something i dont know

[chandler_b]

^^

i had no idea about that good find! :P

[MatthewPerrygirl]

Does anyone know how "strong" his glasses are?

I don't know how strong his glasses are but I know he is near sighted which means things far away are blurry with out his glasses. (I'm near sighted too)

[hambone]

Did MP graduate from college and if so with what degree? I guess I never though he might be Jewish. I think David S. is for sure isn't he?

[ericabing2004]

He didn't go to college/university he did have a place but decided to get acting work instead and David Schwimmer is Jewish i don't think Matthew is though.

[chandler_b]

yer i didn't think he was jewish, although i thought ross was jewish not actually david!

[udun]

Interesting stuff.....How do you get these stuff?

[Shelbs]

I don't know how strong his glasses are but I know he is near sighted which means things far away are blurry with out his glasses. (I'm near sighted too)

Im nearsighted too!! haha me and matty have something in common- yay!

[Peanut Butter]

David is Jewish too. He said recently it would be cool to have a Jewish wife because they'd share culture and habits. Matthew is not Jewish though.

[Peanut Butter]

As to IMDb (the most reliable source), he's made 14 movies, had 3 TV series, and 18 guest roles since 1979.

[chandler_b]

which other two TV shows did he make?

[matthewperry4ever]

hockey stick slammed into his chin

[matthewperry4ever]

and i think in the interview where he said he was "jealous" was actually the one where he said he was "selfish", because he doesnt just have his siblings around cause they like it, he does because he wants them there so much

[matthewperry4ever]

his other two tv shows were sydney and boys will be boys. both didn't last 1 season

[perrygirl]

boys will be boys was a sinoff second chance

[perrygirl]

spin off

[hambone]

Someone mentioned Matthews teeth in a previous post. I found this bit of info in an Extreme Make over story.

Dentist Dr. William Dorfman, one of the pioneers of tooth whitening. Celebrity clientele includes Matthew Perry, Usher, Ali Landry, Brooke Burke and Melissa Joan Hart

[chandler_b]

^^

sounds like he is one rich dentist lol!

[AmberPerry]

Matthew gets along better with woman then men :D

[Peanut Butter]

boys will be boys was a sinoff second chance

Weren't they the same? I thought they just used two titles, one official, one more wide-spread. :)

Other fact: Has dual citizenship in Canada and the USA

[Lore-Bing]

His favorite hot beverage is coffee with cream and two equals.

Lore

o here's a random fact......he has brown hair! lol

[hambone]

Some interesting tidbit from Matthew himself.

Matthew Perry was once asked whether he had had a nose job (as widely rumored). "No, he replied; he had only had non-cosmetic surgery for a deviated suptum". "Matthew Perry could not breathe through the left side of his nose," Perry explained, "to the extent that neighbors used to call up in the night asking, 'Do you have a bizarre animal tied up in your house?'"


His response to why he's not getting laser eye surgery when asked in a 2004 Playboy interview.

"I'm a little wary of laser surgery because of the earthquake that could potentially occur right when it's happening. I'm nearsighted. As I'm sitting here with you I can see you completely clearly. But if you were 20 feet away, you'd look like a black woman."

Isn't that Matthew a nut! :roflmao:

[supersahar]

hahaha bizzare aminal, ive actually read tha somewhere but not the playboy one. he's too funny!! thx for sharing :D

[Shadowlord]

It has been a little quiet around our Matty, Hambone. Thanx for sharing that bit of info.

[preci0us_dreams]

haha thats funny! thanks for posting! :P

[hambone]

More interesting facts. These are about the Family Tree you may or may not know.

John Bennett Perry (Matthew's Dad)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/mebrown/MP/jbplcnf1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/mebrown/MP/jbplchat.jpg

Born and raised in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Perry graduated from St. Lawrence University, where he studied psychology and music. He first performed professionally with the musical group The Serendipity Singers, and then began working in an off-Broadway production of Now is the Time for All Good Men.

BIRTHDAY: January 4.

I think John Bennett turns 65 this year.


Also Matthew's Uncle John Stuart Langford (Matthew's middle name sake)
STUART LANGFORD, from Ottawa, Ontario was appointed as a full-time commissioner on November 16, 1998. Mr. Langford was the editor of National, a publication of the Canadian Bar Association. He has been active in the broadcasting field as an associate producer at CBC Public Affairs-TV and has also been the national legal correspondent with CBC Television News. He has lectured in Administrative and Business Law at the University of Ottawa. He is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, holds a Masters in English Literature from the University of Massachusetts and a B.A. from the University of Saskatchewan. Mr. Langford's term ends on November 15, 2007.

I have a picture of Stuart but it's hugh. I tried to make it smaller and it isn't working. If you really want to see it I'll keep trying.

[preci0us_dreams]

cool pics :)
matty really looks like him ;)

[MatthewPerrysBiggestFan]

Cool! Thanks for all the interesting stuff!:D

[ross_rachel4life]

haha thanks for sharing!

[*noodlez*]

an earthquake could occur :icon_lol: :roflmao: :msn016:

[Shadowlord]

Just thought I'd add this. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "our" Matthew but everywhere you find references to this guy when googling for Matty.
Matthew Calbraith Perry (April 10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_10), 1794 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1794) – March 4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_4), 1858 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1858)) was the Commodore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_%28rank%29) of the U.S. Navy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy) who forced the opening of Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) to the West with the Convention of Kanagawa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_of_Kanagawa) in 1854 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1854), under the threat of military force.

If you want to read more just go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Perry_(naval_officer)

I'm putting this all in 'cause I found this pic in which he is posing as his famous namesake:

[hambone]

Interesting Shadowlord. What a pose :04:

[matthewperry4ever]

no, that's him in almost heroes.

[Shadowlord]

no, that's him in almost heroes.

Did not know that, thanx. Thought it looked a lot like the uniform you always see the other Matthew Perry in, but still...........he looks good.

[sockbunny]

thanks for posting those interesting facts :P ..hes soo funny with the earthquake and the laser eye surgery :P

[CMBING]

Interesting facts there.. :P
I always thought he was farsighted because on 'friends' he always wore his glasses when he was reading something. Anyway, thanks for sharing! :)

[Shadowlord]

Just found this while googling:
Tim Clarke: Funny men such as Ben Stiller and Matthew Perry take Clarke seriously for rooms that are classic or contemporary with quirky accent pieces. With a new retail space in Santa Monica, Clarke has expanded his vision, offering a chic take on classic country looks. http://www.timclarkeinc.com
I had a look at the designs and they're pretty cool :cool:, but just check it out for yourselves :D

[we were on a break]

very cool thanx

[hambone]

If you go to the website link posted above, click on "projects" and then "beaverly hills home", that is the house Matthew just sold for 6.1 million

[mrs. chanandler bong]

thanks for info!

wow........randon matthew facts. now this is a thread! anyone else got more interesting info?

[AllYouNeedIsF.R.I.E.N.D.S.]

lol

[knicksfan]

:roflmao: Thats funny :D

[hambone]

The Tim Clark site is interesting Shadowlord, now I am curious about something. Maybe Matthew is really into buying and selling property and maybe Tim and Matthew have become friends and possibly have hooked up in these real estate deals. I remember when Matty was on Leno right before the ESPN awards and he mentioned going to Hawaii with his friend Tim. I know this is a stretch but a possibility. I guess I'm trying to follow what he's up to these days. We get little bits and pieces of info. Makes it kind of fun to speculate.

[Shadowlord]

Good bit of speculating there. I forgot that he said the name of his friend in that interview. It could very well be though, sounds smart to me. Buy a house, redo it, sell it with a profit. He brings in the money, his friend brings in the interior designing; they both get rich.

[hambone]

Yup my thoughts exactly. Maybe Tim doesn't have the wealth Matty does, so Matty makes the investment and they both profit. I did read a headline last night that said, "Matthew Perry Finds Real Estate Pays Better Than Acting". Althought the article did not speculate on the headline, it only told about buying Elton John's property. But Matthew if by chance you do read this, DON"T GIVE UP ACTING!!!!! You can do both.

[monik]

i have a question (well, not really a question, just something i've noticed).. i hope this is the right thread to put it...
i've just seen Fools Rush In and i've noticed something: Matthew's teeth are different...i mean, i think he's done something with them, i think he's straighten them out or something.. i've noticed that in all movies when he was younger... i hope this made some sense, i'm not that good at expressing myself in English..

[hambone]

Yes he had the front teeth fixed. I read he had the top front 6 teeth veneered.

[monik]

i'm sorry, but what exactly is 'veneered'? :06:

[Shadowlord]

veneered basically means that you polish them and then add a layer (like veneer on furniture) that keeps them glossy and shiny

[Shadowlord]

Not the funniest info but still.......

The front yard of a home in Hollywood Hills, CA is in disarray March 20, 2000 after actor Matthew Perry crashed his Porsche into the porch of the house. Perry said in an interview that he decided to change his lifestyle after slamming his green Porsche into a house.

He wasn't drunk or anything but tried to avoid another car and lost control of his Porsche.

[hambone]

Wow he just took that porch right off didn't he.

[Matty Fan]

I'm wondering that he didn't hurt himself! It seems like the front yard is missing ...:03:

[Shadowlord]

nope apparently he came away with minor injuries.

[Shadowlord]

Does anyone know if he's still smoking, what with all the working out he's been doing lately?

[hambone]

I was wondering the same thing. We haven't seen him with a cigarette lately

[Shadowlord]

Being an avid smoker myself I hope he still smokes (I can hear the outraged cries already :D). I'd be very impressed if he gave it up, I've tried and just don't have the discipline, but then I've been smoking for 15 years already so I am truly hooked.

[Matty Fan]

I was wondering the same thing. We haven't seen him with a cigarette lately

I was asking myself the the same question. Cuz before I saw sooo many pictures with a cigarette in his hand. But lately I haven't seen any pictures with a cigarette ...
I hope he quit smoking ... it's better for his health (I'm always afraid that he'll get loung cancer) ... though it looks really cool ... :03:

[Shadowlord]

though it looks really cool ... :03:
Thank you!!!

Local connection
Camrose Spirals were called on to help Matthew Perry with skipping routine

Murray Green, Staff Reporter
Sunday January 15, 2006

Camrose Canadian — The Camrose Spirals jump rope skipping team was called upon to help with a movie shot in Calgary late last summer.
Spirals coach Bill Smale was asked to help teach the actors the techniques of skipping. The television movie called ‘The Ron Clark Story’ will be aired on TNT later this month.
Smale then called upon Kelsey Syrnyk and Hona Huber to turn the double dutch ropes in order to help cast the movie.

Six rounds

“We had to go six times and turn the ropes,” said Huber.
While sitting around Huber decided to try out for a background extra in the movie. She was surprised to learn that she was awarded the part of a Grade 6 honour student in Miss Hill’s class.
“I didn’t have a speaking part, but it was exciting just to be there and in the movie,” said the real life Charlie Killam School Grade 7 student. “I got to sit in class and be one of the honour students.”
Huber received a little cash and a signed copy of the Ron Clark book for her effort over the six days.

Experience

“It was amazing at first and I was not sure if it was real,” she added, when asked to join her coach in turning the ropes. “And then they picked me because I looked the part. I thought I would just try out for the fun of it.”
The drama student says she would do it again and looks forward to drama classes at school.
“I got to turn the ropes for Matthew Perry (Friends, The Whole Nine Yards) and that was exciting. I learned to play hacky sack and find out what it is like in Harlem.”
The movie is about Clark, who is a teacher in the New York Harlem Public School system. He was named teacher of the year in 2000 and has since written two books.

Worlds

Huber, Syrnyk, Jodi Harrison and Meagan Carroll are now practicing intensely to qualify to represent Canada at the 2006 World Skipping Championships to be held in Toronto this July. To qualify they have to do well at the Canadian finals in Montreal.

[Shadowlord]

I found this as well and wondered if I should post it, but then my computer decided to conk out and I couldn't.
Funny bit though. I can so see him jumping rope though.

[hambone]

Man's Best Friend?"
One friend Jennifer Aniston made [in an artsy low-rent communal housing project in Laurel Canyon] was Kristin Hahn, who worked at Paramount and was a producer's assistant on Cheers. Jennifer would often lie on Hahn's couch, bemoaning the fact that she would never find film work ever again (at auditions she was constantly losing out to Kirsty Swanson - the original Buffy). "Along with the other girls they'd have boozy nights out where no one was allowed to talk to boys. One night Hahn broke the rules and brought back a new (male) buddy with whom she'd been sinking sake. Recognising this breach of etiquette, the house dog bit the interloper on the arse. The guy's name was Matthew Perry.

"[Trivia: "He's one of the most sensitive people I've ever met," Jennifer Aniston once said of Matthew Perry. "More than most girls." Among the musicians that have made him cry? Barry Manilow.]

[Shadowlord]

I love that story.
And Jennifer did win out in the end.

[Shadowlord]

Does anybody know how Matty got the scar on his chin?

Unfortunately it is not the best pic, but you can sort of see it.
http://eur.yimg.com/i/xp/premier_photo/2/20e4ca2a0a.jpg
Especially because he doesn't have it in earlier pics, though they could have been retouched.
http://www.matthewperry.org.uk/Matt214.jpg

[hambone]

I heard it was a wound he got while playing hockey. It must have been a dandy cut by the looks of the scar.

[Shadowlord]

I heard it was a wound he got while playing hockey. It must have been a dandy cut by the looks of the scar.
Oh ok, thanx for the info.

[hambone]

He must have been pretty young when it happened. I've seen pictures of him that were probably late teens and he has that scar.

[Shadowlord]

I never really paid all that much attention to his younger pics, but I'll try and find some more.

[rony200319]

I never really paid all that much attention to his younger pics, but I'll try and find some more.
yeah! i wanna see em!:D

[matthewperry4ever]

a hockey stick slammed into his chin. (*ouch*)

[Shadowlord]

ouch indeed. Any idea when this happened approx.?

[matthewperry4ever]

no, not quite. I think it may have happened when he was a kid, but you just couldn't see it then.

[hambone]

How old would you say he is in this picture? Teens maybe? Anyway I can see the scar is already there.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/mebrown/CelebBB1.jpg

[Shadowlord]

I'd say 17 or 18, what with the beard growth. And in this pic it does look like he already has it.

[matthewperry4ever]

what's narconon?

[Shadowlord]

It is a drug-free living organisation. For more info go here; http://www.narconon.org/narconon_support.htm.
They have a pic there showing a team wearing the same outfit as in the pic

[matthewperry4ever]

huh...cool

[Shadowlord]

A little ironic though, don't you think, considering his lifestyle later on in life?
I'm sorry, that was bitchy, but I do think it's ironic.

[monik]

speaking of scars, he has some signs on his forehead that look like scars. you can see them very well in these pics:
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6631/blue17bx.jpg (http://imageshack.us) http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2668/photo73jy.jpg (http://imageshack.us) http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1397/matt1691mp.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[Eponine1]

I don't know how he got those scars, but I would love to know if someone does:D Anyone?

[Shadowlord]

Sorry, never heard anything about any of those.

[hambone]

I would guess they are all sports related injuries, except for the missing tip of his finger. Man he's been hard on his body hasn't he?

[Shadowlord]

I would guess they are all sports related injuries, except for the missing tip of his finger. Man he's been hard on his body hasn't he?
Not necessarily sports related. I have a scar like that on my forehead as well. I got it while dancing :D. My boyfriend at the time swept me back and when we came back up I smacked into his teeth because he was laughing and it left a gash on there that looks similar to those on his.

But I agree that he's been hard on his body, and still is. Working out so often isn't all that beneficial either.

[rony200319]

I would guess they are all sports related injuries, except for the missing tip of his finger. Man he's been hard on his body hasn't he?
yeah, what's with that missing tip? is this how he was born? i would like to know...anybody?

[Shadowlord]

He got it slammed in a stage door when he was really young.

[rony200319]

He got it slammed in a stage door when he was really young.
auch...! poor Matthew:(
thanks for the info

Remember this? I was just watching the Windows 95 educational video you can download of this site and in that Matty is already talking about "his friend Tim" so either they go way back or he's talking about a different Tim somewhere :D

[AMY]

Thanks the info about Matthew is great

[Shadowlord]

Thanks the info about Matthew is great
Thank you, and don't hesitate to add to our knowledge... :D

[lauralye]

I was watching "Serving Sara" with the commentary on. In the scene with Matthew running from the monster truck, the guy said that Matthew had a broken foot and he was running on it. Ouch.

[Shadowlord]

Never heard that. Do you know how he broke it?

[lauralye]

The commentator (sp?) did not say how he broke it. All he said about it was not only was he running from a monster truck he was running with a broken foot.

If you have the dvd, watch it with the commentary on. It's a little boring but interesting.

[Shadowlord]

OK I'll do that, thanx.
I'd still like to know how he broke his foot though. I never heard of him breaking his foot before. Anybody?

[Matty Fan]

That with the borken foot is really strange. He must have had crutches, but I haven't seen a picture of it ... :confused:

[Shadowlord]

That's why I'm asking. Me neither.

[Matty Fan]

That's why I'm asking. Me neither.
I think nobody knows :03: ... I even searched in the internet and I couldn't find anything ... weird ...

[lauralye]

I think it's how you break your foot. I know that I broke 2 bones in my foot once (I went over the side of my foot falling off a ladder--forgot that I was standing on it:confused: ). I heard them break but I could still walk on it. There was no pain but my whole foot turned black, blue, purple, green and yellow. I was supposed to use crutches but didn't--they were too much of a nuisance.

[matthewperry4ever]

How do you forget that you're on a ladder?!?

[Shadowlord]

How do you forget that you're on a ladder?!?
Exactly my question :04: But I see your point, Laurelye.

[lauralye]

Believe me......It can only happen in my world.

I was on a step ladder and I walked away to get a nail, not realizing that I was standing on the ladder.:(

[matthew_lover]

his middle name is langford
his favorite band is third eye blind
fav color is blue

i also read something that he had in 1997 a jet-ski accident, followed by his wisdom teeth being pulled. for the pain he had to take a painkiller called Vicodin. but Vicodin is a very addictive painkiller and that should be the reason why he got addicted.

[we were on a break]

cool facts lol kinda sad about the jet ski thing just think if he hadnt had that accident then stuff cud have been very different :(

[alegna]

Someone posted he's Lion ascendant Virgo but I found he's Lion ascendant Lion Moon in Scorpio(3 differents sources). "You have a do-or-die attitude.Energy, willpower and intensity help you accomplish whatever you set out to do.You are stuck in your ways and focused on your own beliefs.You are intense, determined and hypnotic.You have an impressive way of carrying yourself and you rarely go unnoticed."

Dude! Where did you find this stuff out! I mean, I knew about his middle name but the other stuff...I didn't know.

And now I got another thing to add to my list of reasons why he rocks! I mean, I'm a Third Eye Blind freak myself. They're my second favorite band after Lifehouse.

Scary? Try more like confusing.

[WtGoes ukno23]

i think i sent him a letter like 2 years ago cus i heard that you get like a pre signed pic back, but im still waiting. i'll just do what that girl did

yea, i wrote him a fan letter, and a couple months later i got a really good picture of him autographed. it was awesome because i thought i would never get one back. :) lol.

Isn't that Matthew a nut! :roflmao:

ROTFL! I love that one! Just so classic. Of course hey, I can totally relate to it...being EXTREMELY nearsighted myself.

What a goofball!

Is that about Matty? Cuz I like the sound of the lusty and sensual bit...actually, I like the sound of all of it! Grooooooooowllllll

Also, love the laser eye surgery quote....I'm blind as a bat when it comes to distances, but refuse to wear glasses (not because they make me look geeky, but because they annoy me) and the thought of a contact coming anywhere near my eye is the worst thing ever...but now Matt's got me worrying about a bloody earthquake happening, so laser is out of the question too! Damn him! (he;s so wonderful)

[nonameface78]

You & me both. Of course I love the sound of it all. Whoa...talk about hot!

And I'm not worried about the earthquke when it comes to laser eye surgery but that's because I live in Pennsylvania where it's rare for an earthquake (at least a major one) to occur. I'm more worried about the chance that the surgery could be fudged up. No really, I saw a thing on a news magazine show where this lady had that procedure and now she's almost blind. But now that Matty mentioned it...an earthquake does seem like a good reason not to have it. LOL

BTW, savvyjacksgirl, aren't you on the message board @ IMDB? I could of sworn I saw your name there before (I'm climbfall78 there).

Ok,I'll try with my poor vocabulary: he's Lion ascendant Lion (both qualities and faults are amplified),his Moon(emotional life) is in Scorpion, which gives him complex passions and his Venus is is Cancer,the top of seduction...If you want to know more I found 3 address: adze.com - astroadvice.com and astrotheme, the last is excelent,you can check if there are some affinities between you and Matty,it's a french site but I think you can have english traduction. I don't believe in everything but some stuff are really interesting:D

[savvyjacksgirl]

Climbfall, my old friend! I did not realise that was you! Ah, I should have known you would have been lurking, us Matty lovers hang around everywhere!

Yeah, I've heard of so much crap happening during laser eye surgery, and truth be told, I would rather have bad eyesight then let a laser near my eye, but as you said, the earthquake reason is a good one! And I live in South Australia, and there hasnt really been a bad earthquake here since the 50's me thinks...which means we might be due for another one *starts to freak*

Yeah, I'm everywhere! I usually go by either "nonameface78" or "climbfall78" on boards.

And I'd rather have the bad eyesight too than take the risks. And I live near Philadelphia where while it can happen, the chances of a bad earthquake are pretty slim. Of course, I'm more afraid of a power outtage from a very bad noreaster than an earthquake.

Actually, if you take the URL and run it through Babel Fish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) at Alta Vista or the translator at Google, you get a somewhat decent translation of the page.

Actually, if you take the URL and run it through Babel Fish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) at Alta Vista or the translator at Google, you get a somewhat decent translation of the page.

Why, did somebody write something not so nice in french on IM ??? ;)

Something a little strange in French....that's all I'm saying.

By the way, does anybody have any new Matty facts? We're getting a little side-tracked here ;)

I'll just say, but this has been said before, that he had his six front teeth veneered.

On this awful dentist blog I found once they used his smile as the perfect example why not to have just those veneered, because if you smile too widely you can see the slightly yellow canines and molars.

Nasty dentist ;) :D

I know...what a nasty dentist.

I'm still looking for some new ones.

Hey Hambone (or anybody else for that matter) could this be the infamous Tim we've been talking about? As you know we see him together with Matty relatively often, and I was just wondering. Might finally give a name to the mystery guy ;)

[matthewperry4ever]

Even if it isn't, we should call him that anyway. Just so he has a name...

I dub thee Tim!

[Shadowlord]

^^I like that. Heneceforth thou shalt be known as Tim.

Okay, so any idea what Tim does? Somebody was of the opinion he might be the worlds skinniest bodyguard, but I don't think so :D

LOL...world's skinniest bodyguard. I like that. Actually, the title of world's skinniest bodyguard would go to my nephew if he was a bodyguard (he's really skinny but he's pretty strong & fast; he plays football and runs track).

Maybe "Tim's" just a mystery man.

[hambone]

Maybe a sobriety coach or maybe just a java junkie like Matty

[nonameface78]

My money's on that.

This is offically getting creepy...we're ALL starting to think alike.

[savvyjacksgirl]

hehe worlds skinniest bodyguard...I think Matt would end up being the protector in that situation.
Oh, and Nonameface, I feel like such a bloody ****! I'm a huge Lifehouse fan, they're my fave band, but I only clicked on about your two names when I saw your pic of the 'Nonameface' album...I'm gonna go slap myself for being a bad fan..

LOL. In that situation, yes...he probably would.

And don't slap yourself...everyone is like, "what?" when they look at my user name.

[savvyjacksgirl]

Yes, but are they huge Lifehouse fans? Oh, it doesnt matter, I'm sick and blond, we'll use that as an excuse :D

I just found a new fact to revive this dying thread:

he used to host karaoke shows when he was a kid.

Oh dear lord.

Although, he does have a nice singing voice.

[matthewperry4ever]

yeah, I've always thought so too. It didn't say he ever sang in them though. But if any footage of that ever came up, I would be first in line to watch. because how weird would that be?

[Shadowlord]

I can't even imagine that. How old was he?

[Matty Fan]

...he used to host karaoke shows when he was a kid.
Karaoke? How did he get that job??? :confused:

[nonameface78]

I just found a new fact to revive this dying thread:

Ah, yes...karoke. The Japanese word for "empty orchresta." It should really be Japanese for, "I'm going to make an ass out of myself" because a lot of people who do it do just that.

[matthewperry4ever]

^i totally agree. I won't even go to any place that has karaoke if I'm with my dad. He's, well...not the best singer.

As far as Matthew's age or when he got the job, I have no idea. I just read this article that had him quoted saying he worked at karaoke shows when he was a kid.

[supersahar]

^^ LOL...i would have liked to see him host a karaoke show!! that had to be funny

[dredpooh]

totally... ;)

hosting a karaoke show... that would be fun! ;)

[nonameface78]

^^ LOL...i would have liked to see him host a karaoke show!! that had to be funny


I'd just like to see him anywhere near karaoke. Now that would be fun!

[Eponine1]

^^^
I'd love to see that:P
And I think he has a very nice singing voice. What I've heard at least:D

[yvee-beth]

since we're on the singing stuff...do all the friends sing live on the show?
cause Courteney has a really good singing voice too.
And I was wondering since all the "I hate that Rachel" things...what did she do that ur all pissed at her...??(Rachel Dunn I mean) Is it just that she dated him (kinda jeloursy thing) or was she really nasty to him?
I'm kinda new so don't blame me if I ask a stupid question now that's known by everyone but me:P

yeah, actually i'd kind of like to know too

[nonameface78]

That makes three of us. Especally considering I'm neutral here.

[Shadowlord]

I think most of that was born out of jealousy, but there were some reports that she wasn't a very nice person and also the fact that when they broke up Matty said that he needed to focus on his sobriety (stay away from alcohol) and that that was why they broke up, which kinda indicated that staying sober and being with Rachel (Dunn) didn't combine.

[yvee-beth]

Well I think that it's not really that u can't stay sober cause of a girl means that she's bad or depressing (like fun bobby :P) but mayB if u go to a reastaurant u might wanna order a nice wine for the both of you...bhwa I dunnow ;) I notice for myself (not that I'm an obsesive drunk not at all actualy) that if I'm with friends that drink some beers I take one too so...well anyways I don't really know what to think I was just wondering cause I heard ppl say "pffff that B*&%$#@ch I hate her" so I was thinking she was a bad person but I guess it's cause she dated Matty ;) aaaannnnyway bring on the facts...I have none...well except that he likes "strong womans music" like Indigo girls and Tori Amos taught that was kinda cool ;)

[monik]

about Matty's singing voice... have u seen 308 - TOW The Giant Poking Device, when, at the end of the episode, Chandler sings Lionel Richie's Endless Love? is it just me, or he sings pretty good!

[leny]

yeah i also think that he sang pretty good in that episod ;) !!

[rony200319]

awww when he sang he was soooooo cute! i love that scene!!

[monik]

I KNOW! i love it too! and he's holding Janice's shoe. and then Phoebe comes in and sings along. and she sings soooo much worse than him! :P

[nonameface78]

It's not you...I think the same thing.

[rony200319]

i don't know, you guys might think i'm crazy, but i always feel also very sad when i watch it. Well, first of all, its kind of depressing cause he's sad that janice left him, and also, that's exactly the time when in real life he was struggling with the drugs and all that, and he says that he doesn't like watching episodes from that season...so i dunno, but whenever i watch that scene i'm kind of sad along with thinking its cute how they sing together...

My god that kills me! I can't watch that episode without an oxygen tank near by...

[monik]

My god that kills me! I can't watch that episode without an oxygen tank near by...

is that because he sings so good or that he sings bad.... or??? :rolleyes: :04:

[alegna]

is that because he sings so good or that he sings bad.... or??? :rolleyes: :04:

You didn't ask me, but my answer is: or :rolleyes: And also because he sings very good :P

[matthewperry4ever]

It's becuase he sings so well that I stop breathing. Hence the oxygen.

And I don't get your little or :rolleyes: thing. But I'm not sure I want to know...

[nonameface78]

My god that kills me! I can't watch that episode without an oxygen tank near by...


I thought that was the case with EVERY epsoide.

thanks :P I dunnow if I'm nice but let's leave that up to the future...
okey matthew fact hum? where does he live now? I mean he sold the W shaped mansion (wich was very well decorated I think) so what is his current house or houses?

[Matty Fan]

I think he lives in his condo in Hollywood, though somebody said ones he has a house in Mailbu too. In addition he bought the condo of Elton John a couple month ago. So, I guess he has many places to live ... :04: or he just plays "The Real Estate Game"

[matthewperry4ever]

I think he lives in Sierra Towers...That's this ritzy condo complex in Studio City where the homes are huge and cost about 3 million a piece. I believe that was the one that was once Elton John's, but I could be wrong.

[nonameface78]

I think I do remember hearing that he bought Elton's old place.

[Shadowlord]

Yep, he's got the three places for the moment; Malibu, The Sierra Towers and elton's old place. For more on that you can go here: http://www.friendscafe.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18341

[savvyjacksgirl]

man, can you imagine having three places?
*drools at the thought*
and a pretty car...or hey, how about 12?
...okay, matt doesnt have 12, I assume, but still!
hmm
on a completely different note, any of ya'll write fanfiction around here? I'm dying to find some new stuff to read!!!
And also, might as well make a plug while Im here...I'm spacemonkey69 on fanfiction.net...people seem to like my stuff! So...
that is all

[matthewperry4ever]

read mine (note the link):04:

[rachel38]

Do you remember his cell phone on the table we could see on 14th Feb 06 ?(and other time, but for the moment I just remember this date: you know why...). I thing this is not exactly the same, but it's like the Nokia 9300.
I think his is a little smaller. Sorry I can't post picture, because I have not.

[Matty Fan]

I thought it's LG's "THE V"

But maybe I'm wrong ... :confused:

[rachel38]

You maybe right. I'm not sure of mine.

[monik]

i just found an interview with Matty. i found this question really interesting:
"How often do you run into that Friends theme song in your day-to-day life?

One of the worst things is when I go to sporting events. Sometimes they will put the camera on me and play the song in its entirety up on the big board, and there's nothing you can do. You can do a stupid smile for the first five seconds and then... then you're just an idiot. A couple of times like I've been driving in my convertible or something, back when the song was on the radio all the time, I'll hear the first couple of bars of the song, and I reach to turn it down so fast. Like almost as fast as when you're listening to a song that you think you like, and then it turns out to be a song you can't sand and you change the channel right away."
it looks like he hates I'll Be There For You! lol :P

and, also, i really liked his answer to this question. it's really sweet:
"Seinfeld was always said to be a show about nothing. For you, what's Friends about?
Friends is a show about lovable losers who, in the end, become winners by leaning on each other. At least that's what I think."

[rachel38]

Thanks for this.
I have found that yesterday. The date of the document is March 18, but I don't know if that really happen this day. If some of you are thinking of the woman we saw on pictures when Matthew was in a Starbucks some days ago, I don't think it's this woman, because we have been told that the woman (of the Starbucks) told him he was his favorite and that he should have his show, and at the end he offered her a coffee.
I don't know if it's true, so please, don't attack me.

Matthew Perry Just Wants A Diet Coke
March 18th, 2006

Celebrities like soda just like you and me.

And just when you thought that celebrities had their paid servants sitting in a room grinding up chemicals and combining them with caramel-colored additives and then adding carbonated water in an attempt to give them the highest quality carbonated drinks ever on the face of the Earth, you run into a celebrity at a local movieplex and realize that such rumors are totally, fully, one-hundred percent NOT true.

Which was evidenced last night by Matthew Perry, his Diet Coke and me.

I was seeing Thank You For Smoking at the Hollywood Arclight Cinemas last night — which, as always, seems to be the best place for star sighting on any given day on any given week, in any given politically-charged world environment. Stars love movies. They love going out to see movies. And they love being seen.

But they love their diet soda even more.

Matthew Perry was standing in line in front of me at the concession counter, chatting away with a friend who had accompanied him there. They were doing the kind of talking that celebrities often do when they know people are listening. Talking about generic things, like cars and other movies and a pair of shoes that Matthew’s friend had purchased. But then, Matthew Perry got up to the counter and made his deep desires known:

Matthew Perry: “Diet Coke, please.”

Concession Worker: “Diet Coke, okay. Anything else?”

Matthew Perry: “Nope, that’s it.”

The words rang in my head, echoing over and over again. “Nope, that’s it. Nope, that’s it.” If you ever watched the news or talked to anyone who knew about food digestion and what not, you know that you just don’t get a carbonated beverage on an empty stomach. I mean, it’s not good for your lower intestines. Because when you introduce your empty stomach to a carbonated beverage, and that beverage doesn’t have other recently eaten food to mix with, the carbonation sits in there and bubbles and rubs up against your stomach lining and causes your stomach to feel full, distended and it’s generally an uncomfortable situation.

So, I did what I normally shouldn’t do — and I made sure Mr. Perry knew what he was getting himself into:

Me: “Just a Diet Coke, huh?”

Matthew Perry did this little head twist, partly trying to determine if I was even talking to him. So, while his head was turned, I repeated my line.

Me: “Just a Diet Coke, is that all you’re getting?”

Matthew Perry: “Yeah. Just a Diet Coke.”

He turned back around. But I couldn’t let it go. His comfort was at stake here…

Me: “You know — your stomach is gonna fill up with so much gas from carbonation, you’re going to have a distended belly like an hour into the movie you’re seeing. And then, you’re going to have to go to the bathroom and miss part of the movie.”

Matthew Perry: “Oh, how do you figure?”

Me: “Trust me on this one, man. You never just go with a soda and nothing else.”

Now Matthew Perry had fully turned around to address me. Others around me were eavesdropping to see what exactly this Friends star was saying to the nobody behind him:

Matthew Perry: “What, are you like a digestion specialist or something?”

Matthew turned, laughing to his friend, with his digestion quip. It was good, especially for someone who didn’t have a cadre of sitcom writers backing him up. But I wasn’t going to let him off that easily.

Me: “I am, actually. USC, Class of ‘96. And if you don’t want to ruin the inner lining and cilia of your lower intestines, you’d be smart and order a popcorn or a hot dog or some kind of solid food item that will offset the chemical reaction you’re just minutes away from having.”

And then, there was a long pause. Perry looked to his friend, then back to the concession worker, who plopped the sole Diet Coke on the counter.

Concession Worker: “Three sixty five.”

And there was a brief pause before Matthew Perry came out with this perfect little gem:

Matthew Perry: “Actually, you know what? Can I get a popcorn, too?”

And as Matthew Perry and his Diet Coke and his popcorn and his friend left me to do my own bidding at the candy counter, he looked back and rolled his eyes at me as if I had just made him do something he had not wanted to do. But, in reality, I had seemingly saved his night from an uncomfortable lower intestine situation for no other reason than I was being a good samaritan.

Someday he would understand what I had done and why — and realize that normal everyday non-celebrities do care about others and their Diet Cokes.

Even when there’s absolutely no money involved.

It is Microserfs written by Douglas Coupland.
