In Matthew Perry's autobiography, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing," he wrote about his relationship with Julia Roberts. After learning she wanted to be a part of his character Chandler Bing's storyline on "Friends," he sent her roses with a note that read, "The only thing more exciting than the prospect of you doing the show is that I finally have an excuse to send you flowers." And the courtship began.
Perry discusses their back and forth through fax before they shot their "Friends" episode, recalling that he would wait for the piece of paper to come each day. "It was like she was placed on this planet to make the world smile, and now, in particular, me. I was grinning like some 15-year-old on his first date," per the excerpt published in The Times of London.
In the actor's book, he explained that after just two months of dating, he broke up with Roberts because he didn't think he was enough. Perry felt confident that she would break his heart, so instead of facing that fear, he ended the relationship altogether.
