Actor Matthew Perry held himself accountable after attacking actor Keanu Reeves in his memoir.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times on April 23, Perry, 53, made no excuses for the harsh comments he made about Reeves in his memoir “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”

“I said a stupid thing. It was a mean thing to do,” he admitted.

Going forward, Perry assured that Reeves’ name would be excluded from his book.

He added, “I pulled his name because I live on the same street. I’ve apologized publicly to him. Any future versions of the book will not have his name in it.”

However, Perry revealed he has yet to apologize to Reeves in person, but he would if given the opportunity.

“If I run into the guy, I’ll apologize. It was just stupid,” he shared.

In a statement made to People in October 2022, Perry apologized after receiving backlash for his not-so-kind remarks about Reeves and claimed he was “a big fan” of him.

“I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead,” he stated.

In an excerpt from his book released on Nov. 1, Perry didn’t hold back on his disdain for Reeves while talking about the death of his friend, actor River Phoenix.

“River was a beautiful man, inside and out — too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” he wrote, per Variety.

Perry mentioned Reeves again while writing about late comedian Chris Farley, who died from a drug overdose in 1997.

“His disease had progressed faster than mine had. (Plus, I had a healthy fear of the word ‘heroin,’ a fear we did not share). I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out. Keanu Reeves walks among us,” he wrote.
