Julia Roberts Teased Friends’ Matthew Perry, Made Him Put Multiple Efforts Before Going On a Date With Him

Matthew Perry, known for his role in the popular TV show Friends, had a remarkable journey to win the heart of Hollywood actress Julia Roberts. Their relationship blossomed during the shooting of an episode of Friends, where Roberts expressed her eagerness to be part of Perry’s character’s storyline. However, the path to their romance was not easy, as Roberts presented Perry with a unique challenge: he had to write a paper on quantum physics for her to appear on the show.

A Relationship Filled with Effort and Uncertainty

Although Perry and Roberts dated for a few months, their relationship eventually came to an end, surprising Roberts. Perry later revealed that his own low self-esteem and feelings of unworthiness played a role in their breakup. Despite the initial challenges, the actor had put in considerable effort to pursue a romantic relationship with the renowned Hollywood actress.

Matthew Perry’s Persistence Pays Off

During a conversation on The Hollywood Reporter, the creators of Friends shared the intriguing story of how they managed to bring Julia Roberts on board for a special episode. Perry took the initiative to invite Roberts to join the show, and in response, she asked him to write a paper on quantum physics. To everyone’s surprise, Perry diligently wrote the paper and faxed it to her the next day. This extraordinary effort eventually led to Roberts appearing on the show.

A Date Delayed by a Year

Although Perry succeeded in bringing Roberts on the show, it wasn’t until almost a year after the episode aired in 1996 that they went on their first date. Alexa Junge, a member of the Friends’ creative team, revealed that Roberts had been interested in Perry from afar due to his charming personality. Their interaction involved playful flirting through fax messages, with Roberts asking Perry questions like, “Why should I go out with you?” The entire writer’s room collaborated to help Perry convince Roberts, ultimately leading to their date.
