George Clooney Shares Heartbreaking Memory About Matthew Perry
HuffPost
The actors were close as the popular TV series starring Clooney “ER” and Perry’s “Friends” were filmed at the same studio lot.
George Clooney is sharing a heartbreaking memory about his late friend Matthew Perry.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” star recalled Tuesday in an interview with Deadline that Perry was a “great” and “funny” kid when they first met as fellow actors in the 1980s, but that not even Perry’s dream of becoming a sitcom star made him “happy” after “Friends” casting.
“He was a kid and all he would say to us, I mean me, Richard Kind and Grant Heslov, was, I just want to get on a sitcom, man,” he said Tuesday. “I just want to get on a regular sitcom and I would be the happiest man on earth. And he got on probably one of the best ever.”
Clooney continued, “He wasn’t happy. It didn’t bring him joy or happiness or peace. And watching that go on the lot — we were at Warner Brothers, we were there right next to each other — it was hard to watch because we didn’t know what was going through him.”
Clooney and Perry landed big breaks in 1994 after being cast on “ER” and “Friends,” respectively. Clooney told Deadline they frequently played paddle tennis together as both NBC shows were filmed at the same studio lot.
