We kissed in a field and swam in a stream! Gwyneth Paltrow admitted that she had an affair with Matthew Perry
Matthew’s body was found in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home. According to investigators, he drowned. Gwyneth knew Perry personally. Moreover, the 51-year-old actress made it clear that their relationship went beyond friendship.
They met shortly before Matthew appeared in the series Friends, which brought him worldwide fame. Paltrow recalled the summer they spent together.
“I met Matthew Perry in 1993 at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts. We both spent most of the summer there playing in plays,” Gwyneth said.
The Oscar winner noted that Matthew had a great sense of humor and it was easy and pleasant to communicate with the actor. “I remember him as so funny, so sweet, and so much fun to be around.
We went swimming in a stream, drank beer at a local bar, and kissed in a field of tall grass. It was a magical summer,” Paltrow said.
When he met her, the actor had already filmed the pilot episode for Friends, but the show, which was supposed to become an international sensation, had not yet aired. “He was nervous, hoping his big break was just around the corner. And so it was.
We remained friends for a while until we grew apart, but I was always happy to see him when we did. I am very sad today, like many of us. I hope Matthew has finally found peace. “I really think so,” the actress added.
Elizabeth Hurley also paid tribute to Perry. The 58-year-old star co-starred with him in the 2002 romantic comedy The Grifters. The film gave the actor a chance to demonstrate his comedic skills as a bailiff who must serve Elizabeth’s character with a divorce summons.
«Rest in peace Matthew Perry. So sad to hear the news of his passing. He was an incredibly talented comedian and a wonderful person,” Hurley was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
In his memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Bad, Matthew Perry revealed that production on the film was put on hold for two months due to his addiction problems. Elizabeth admitted that working with the artist was a nightmare before he went to rehab, but when he returned,
he became the most amazing partner for her. “He had some tough times, but he was still very charming and a pleasure to work with, but you could see he was suffering,” Hurley added.
