Friends star Matthew Perry opened up about his break up with Julia Roberts.
Friends Star Matthew Perry Reveals Why He Broke Up With Julia Roberts-‘I Could Never Be Enough’
The actor made the decision to leave Julia following her appearance on Friends, but the background to all of that, spoke volumes.
It turns out that Julia had been offered the opportunity to make a cameo on the show, but she would only agree if Matthew was involved in his storyline.
As a result, Perry allegedly sent some roses to Julia in order to convince her to join. Julia ended up agreeing to appear on the show, as she sent him some bagels as a gift. The rest was history as they were dating.
And yet, after only 2 months of dating, Matthew decided to end things suddenly. This was on the grounds that Matthew never felt he would be good enough for her. In his comments, he said: “Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me.
“I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me. Why would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable.”
It is not surprising, then, that Matthew admitted Julia was confused by his decision to walk away. But the future would go on to show that Matthew had many issues that needed to be resolved.
He has been very vocal about his issues with alcohol and drugs which did result in periods of rehabilitation. And as part of that process, Matthew spent a lot of money in trying to resolve his addiction.
His following comments confirmed as much: “I’ve probably spent $9 million or something trying to get sober.” The fans on social media, though, were not too sympathetic towards Matthew.
A certain subset of people felt that he let his inhibitions lead his love life. One person wrote: “Pretty sad if you ask me. He allowed his fear & insecurity to take over.”
So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
