‘Friends’ star pulls Keanu Reeves’ name out of his book

Friends star Matthew Perry has revealed that he will not mention Keanu Reeves in the next edition of his memoir  Friends Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,  six months after he apologized for speaking about him disrespectfully . 

When discussing a few deaths resulting from drug overdose in 1993, Matthew brought up Keanu, who was among the individuals talked about along with River Phoenix.

 It says in the book: “River was a beautiful man inside and out. It turns out he’s just too beautiful for this world. It always seems that the truly talented are the ones who finish. Why do original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” “.

Because of this clip, the actor was subjected to a wave of criticism, which prompted him to say in an interview:  “I am actually a big fan of Keanu. I chose a random name, it was my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my name instead.” 

A few days ago, Berry returned to the topic at the Los Angeles Times Book Festival, and said: “I said something stupid. It was something malicious. I pulled his name because I live on the same street. Any future copies of the book will not bear his name.”

Matthew said he has not yet personally apologized to Keanu. “If I run into the guy, I’ll apologize. It was just a stupid thing to say.”
