In its 10 years of activity, Friends has had some great guest appearances . Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt and Reese Witherspoon are just starting to scratch the surface of the A-listers who appeared on the popular NBC sitcom, but one of the most memorable guest performances surely came from Julia Roberts. It turns out, however, that the story of how the ticket to heaven The star who plays the woman who left Chandler naked in a restaurant bathroom is equally memorable, and Matthew Perry tells that story in his next memoir, Friends, lovers and the terrible big thing.
Julia Roberts appeared in the classic Season 2 episode “The One After the Superbowl: Part 2”. She played Susie Underpants, uh, Susie Moss, a childhood friend of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). She agrees to go out with him, with an additional motive for revenge for 20 years earlier, when a fourth-grade Chandler lifted Susie’s dress, exposing her panties to an entire auditorium, earning him the nickname of unfortunate. Her revenge was well deserved and well executed, but the hoops Perry jumped through to get Roberts there in the first place seem almost as intense. She writes in the memoirs (through an excerpt from the times of the United Kingdom (opens in a new tab)):
Julia had been offered the post-Super Bowl episode of season two and would only do the show if it could have been in my story. Let me tell you again: she would only do the show if she could be in my story. (Was she having a good year or what?) But first she had to court her.
I can’t imagine the ego drive that Matthew Perry must have felt when he felt it Pretty Woman The actress just wanted to be part of her story. I get it though, because Chandler was a lot of fun and apparently promised a good story for the movie star. Perry said he sent her three dozen roses, but she also asked for something else. Keep on:
His response was that if he explained quantum physics to him correctly, he would agree to be on the show. Wow. First, I’m trading with the woman lipstick was invented for, and now I have to go to the books.
I bet fools rush The star never thought there would come a day in his acting career when he would be asked to explain quantum physics, but it seems he got to work, as he writes in his memoirs:
The next day I sent him an article on wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle and entanglement, and only part of it was metaphorical. Julia not only agreed to do the show, but she also sent me a gift: bagels, loads, loads of bagels. Sure why not? It was Julia Roberts whore.
If Julia Roberts offers you a bagel, get it! If she offers you carcasses of mutilated animals, get it!
It’s a truly unique story and the actor can be sure that his hard work has paid off. That episode, along with the appearance of Julia Roberts, remains a classic moment in television history even more than 25 years later.
Friends, lovers and the terrible big thing will embark Matthew Perry’s fight against addiction and he promised do not sweeten any portion about your past when it comes to your feelings for yourself Friends co-stars, including time Jennifer Aniston confronted him about her drinking . It’s probably good news for fans that in addition to the memories of those more difficult times, we’re also getting some lighter, behind-the-scenes memories of his days on the show. The memoir will hit shelves on Tuesday, November 1, and in the meantime, all 10 seasons of the sitcom are available to stream with a HBO subscription Max .
