I'm not understanding the context. He implied Keanu is still alive...and that's bad?

I think the implication is that good actors have died and Keanu is still alive, meaning Keanu isn't a good actor.

The way I read the sentence from the article, he was basically saying "it's a shame that talented actors are dead while talentless ones are alive", so yeah that's basically what he said.

He basically was like "How is it fair that Rivers Phoenix is dead but Keanu Reeves is alive"

It went over very poorly.

What took so long? I remember this story from a year or two ago and he apologized back then.

Edit: Oh, not as long ago as I thought. It was back in November.

Books take awhile to go to print, be bound, shipped, etc.

So by the time this controversy popped up the first time, I imagine it was far too late to change anything in the original edition.

I thought he was saying Reeves was still hooked on drugs

  • It's a book about addiction
  • Keanu Reeves still "Walks among us", meaning he's still and addict
  • River and Ledger were "free thinkers are dead," meaning they died of an OD

I've been on a set with Matthew Perry before and he's one of the biggest assholes I've ever met. "Don't look him in the eyes" type mother fucker.

Honestly? They're mostly just normal ass people that were in a TV show decades ago and have probably largely avoided social media entirely. Then Friends is suddenly the center of controversy because people are looking for old shows to shit on and all these actors that don't really maintain a social media presence stumble out into the world to make a comment without having any idea what they're getting into.

Their stars are fading. When youve spent your entire life being famous, and everyone talking about you, a lot of people struggle to adapt to losing that. Perry himself has been vocal in recent years over his anxiety and depression.

Instead of just accepting you are getting old some people misplace whatever anger / sadness they are feeling and it turns them bitter and its a case of either attention at any cost or you misplace those feelings and turn it against whatever ever else seems to be in the news or popular at the time.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The error was making the joke about someone hes not friendly with.

If the joke was made about Schwimmer or Leblanc, who we know Perry is friends with, I doubt anyone even notices, because the joke is obvious.

As much as I enjoy his movies I agree, I should have added "but is still alive"

Well he's still alive that's something. He had one good show since Friends and it got canceled after 1 season. Go on, there was something there that could have had a good run. The cast outshined him though

That's so gross considering River Phoenix was Keanu's best friend.

Out of all the books you could read in the world why would you read Matthew Perry's memoir.

It must have done okay as I have seen it on the shelves in quite a few stores although maybe I'm only noticing it because of this story to begin with lol
