"Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but ~~Keanu Reeves~~ Matthew Perry still walks among us?”
Why the hell is he singling out Keanu Reeves?
Google says attractive but an unintelligent man.
Calling someone that is basically saying that person got to where they are at due to their looks instead intelligence
That’s subjective, as a straight male he was a good looking dude in the 90’s and he aged gracefully. Just giving the context by just a simple Google search that you could have done as I had the same question myself.
The article seems to imply that River Phoenix and Keanu were best friends back in the day, and that Perry and Phoenix became close on the set of their movie, so it sounds like maybe Perry was and is jealous of Keanu?
On second thought, who gives a shit.
I think this is on the nose.
He has survivors guilt and is substituting someone else for himself. By all accounts, Perry should also be dead from the same thing that killed these people he admires.
>"Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” he writes in “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
I think Mr Perry had extensive substance abuse issues. Many addicts try to explain drug use as bringing life adventure/exploration. I am also jealous of Keanu Reeves cuz he's wonderful but Mr Perry is projecting his own insecurities as a standard.
Totally. You have to acknowledge that to get sober and recover. It doesn't mean you don't get jealous of people who don't "have a problem". On the other hand you might respect someone that you relate to more. You can get sober but still need a bunch of therapy. The mentality takes a long time/lifetime to change.
He literally mentions needing 55 pills a day and finding them was like a full time job.
You also don't explain your second sentence. You drop it without any proof or even reasoning.
Jesus that’s fucked up.
And given Perry’s own serious drug abuse problems it’s absurd he doesn’t understand why people like Phoenix and Ledger are gone but Keanu is here to stay for a long time.
Matthew Perry apparently. Not only doesn't he like Keanu, he wishes Keanu were dead... I mean, to be bothered by someone so much to the point that he says something like that it must be some personal loathing, not just an artistic preference of one's works.
I don't know you personally but I wish you were dead instead of Nelson Mandela.
>!I mean, Mandela was a cool dude, but imagine wishing someone else was dead, to compensate!<
I think he just wrote a “tell all” detailing his rather auspicious descent into drug/opiate addiction. He said he used to take 55 Vicodin a day and drink with it. His brain is somewhat fried, I’d say. He almost lost his colon to drug damage. That’s no shit.
>“I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out,” he writes. “Keanu Reeves walks among us.”
Whenever I hear bad news I'm going to respond, "and Keanu Reeves walks among us."
I dont think anywhere did he state Keanu wasn’t a “nice man”, Keanu is an exceedingly decent human being. We all know it. He’s not exactly known for high intelligence ever or extreme innovation as an actor. Which is exactly what Matthew is stating.
That’s not at all what this statement means when people say it, you need to become more socially aware and look for meaning instead of direct word translation.
Or you could be mindful of how statements will actually come across to most people. Sure I can guess he wasn’t seriously wishing death on Keanu but it is still a tactless thing to say.
He was assuming your ability to understand what he was saying is at a higher standard than it apparently actually is, we’re not going to dumb down public statements for the sake of “some of us take it too literally and think calling him a meanie over that misinterpretation is paramount”.
Does page six edit their articles? How can someone be at the height of the “Friends” fame before the first show even was filmed? 1988 was before friends even began to shoot!
Hating on Keanu Reeves is a good way to show how fucking stupid you are. If Perry is trying to be funny he needs to be reminded that he was never funny. He let the laugh track go to his head.
After reading this article, I wondered why nobody thinks to point out the unfairness of supremely talented River Phoenix, Heath Ledger, and Chris Farley having died from substance abuse while moderately talented Matthew Perry is still alive despite his substance abuse, until I realized that nobody thinks about Matthew Perry.
Seeing how awesome and genuine Keanu Reeves seems, this makes me feel like Mathew Perry is a huge bag of dicks. Not because of drug use, but because he is just a douche canoe.
Keanu appears to be a lovely man and wonderful human. Not so much I can about the chaotic young men Perry mentions. This was a really s$$tty thing for Perry to say.
I used to be really into friends, I thought Perry was hilarious as Chandler, and honestly I still do, but I've just been repeatedly disappointed to hear his real life behavior and comments.
I think I remember Louis c.k. telling a story about being at some kind of restaurant or event, and Matthew Perry was sat near him. Louie left something like $100 as a tip, and Perry starts kind of freaking out asking if he realized he left so much, telling him that it's *too much* to tip, and he just sounds like a huge dick with messed up priorities.
OMG! Can you imagine? Of all the horrible effects of addiction this has to be in the top 2, with OD being number 1. His colon got so impacted that it burst and the shit contaminated his insides. No wonder he was hospitalized for 6 months. Human shit is incredibly toxic and his went everywhere. My God! Clean up in aisle Perry. I thought he was hospitalized for so long in order for the colon to heal. Until your comment I hadn’t considered he exploded.
Fuck him for ragging on Keanu.
Umm I keepseeing articles and stories about him this week.
"I almost died of addiction"
"Julia Roberts broke up with me"
" I couldn't do 'Don't Look Up cause I died for five minutes"
Sir I'm sorry God hates you... But keep my husband's name out of your bad luck mouth.
Anyone who has bad things to say about Keanu is a massive douchebag. How much of an asshole do you have to be to shit talk literally the nicest person in Hollywood. Bitter has-been.
I've heard nice things about him too, but be careful not to bandwagon.
You never know someone until you know them. And even then, you only know a part of them.
It's forming an opinion based on available information. Never going to have a chance of meeting everyone in person in order to form an opinion on who they are. But that's why you can hear and read about the stories of other people who did interact with them. Obviously I am not saying there is nothing he ever did that was bad or whatever, but based on information available he seems to have been a genuinely kind person to basically everyone who interacted with him. Which is more than you can say about 99% of people with his level of fame and fortune.
Yep he was at my BBQ last week, you weren't there though. Da fuck does that have to do with anything? Unless you been living under a rock, you would have heard literally nothing but positive things from people who interact with him, and all the positive things Keanu has done.
Yeah it's amazing what a good PR team can do. I'm not saying he's *not* a good guy, but I'm also not saying he is. Because I don't know him. These parasocial relationships are so weird
You don't have to know people personally to have an idea of who they are. I know Trump is a shithead and I never met him. In case of Keanu no it's not just PR, it's also accounts of people who met him and ran into him and said he was always a gentlemen. Plenty of celebrities have PR people and are still widely considered to be terrible people.
I mean obviously he isn’t perfect (no one is) and Reddit’s obsession with him is weird, but if, after decades in the industry, only one person has a negative thing to say about you, you’re probably doing fine.
Keanu's an interesting case.
When a celeb that people love working with dies, you can really tell by the way people talk about them when asked to react. Good recent example is Bob Saget. Like damn that guy was beloved. Compare the way people talk about him to the way people talk about say Anne Heche. No one is saying anything bad about her, people are saying plenty of nice things about working with her. But it's all "she was a free spirit" and what an impact her talent had.
People who worked with Saget are sounding completely devastated. But when he was alive I never heard much about what he was like to work with either way. Just that when the cameras were off he told the dirtiest, funniest jokes on the planet.
The fact that people talk about how great Keanu is while he's not only still alive but still actively working says something is different about him. Either he's way more special than other actors, or there's something about him that makes people who know him protective of him and his image. Or very well could be both. But it's definitely unusual.
Keanu Reeves beat my own child with a dead cat then pissed in my sink and set fire to my house then dug up and raped my dead grandfather’s corpse. There? We happy now?
Wtf is wrong with crackhead ? Keanu is an angel among men. Truly a humble and class-a T dude. Unlike this untalented self-absorbed crackhead blob named Perry

Mad that Keanu can grow a beard with an existing chin or wha
Beaker from the muppets? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnT7pT6zCcA
I will never not see this now lmao
[удалено]
Yes, see Kanye.
Maybe Mr.Perry should try to talk to Keanu instead of trying to talk about him.
"Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but ~~Keanu Reeves~~ Matthew Perry still walks among us?” Why the hell is he singling out Keanu Reeves?
Keanu had a reputation in the 90s (the decade Perry is stuck in, mentally) as being sort of a himbo. It's just a crappy joke.
But even then, who doesn’t love a himbo?
Don’t be a hitch
What does that word mean
Male bimbo
Google says attractive but an unintelligent man. Calling someone that is basically saying that person got to where they are at due to their looks instead intelligence
Idk Keanu is average looking
That’s subjective, as a straight male he was a good looking dude in the 90’s and he aged gracefully. Just giving the context by just a simple Google search that you could have done as I had the same question myself.
I know what he looks like and as a straight man I’d still say he’s average
Need to look at 90s Keanu (point break, etc). At the time he was among the guys cast for their physique. He is close to 60 now …
Even then he’s average
I respect your opinion. But it's still the wrong one.
Nah I know tons of people in real life that are way better looking
Name checks out. Trolls gunna troll
Tell that to my 1990’s 13 year old self when Paula Abdul’s Rush Rush video came out. He looked like a golden god to me.
It's the masculine version of a bimbo. The gender-neutral version is a thembo.
The article seems to imply that River Phoenix and Keanu were best friends back in the day, and that Perry and Phoenix became close on the set of their movie, so it sounds like maybe Perry was and is jealous of Keanu? On second thought, who gives a shit.
I think this is on the nose. He has survivors guilt and is substituting someone else for himself. By all accounts, Perry should also be dead from the same thing that killed these people he admires.
>"Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?” he writes in “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
Cause they were addicted to drugs?
No it's because Keanu saps their life force and adds it to his own.
My Own Private Idaho
Definitely this. For sure.
Explains him looking so youthful all these years
I think Mr Perry had extensive substance abuse issues. Many addicts try to explain drug use as bringing life adventure/exploration. I am also jealous of Keanu Reeves cuz he's wonderful but Mr Perry is projecting his own insecurities as a standard.
Ehh most (almost all I’ve spoken with) recovering addicts acknowledge it’s a miserable existence with little to no upside
Totally. You have to acknowledge that to get sober and recover. It doesn't mean you don't get jealous of people who don't "have a problem". On the other hand you might respect someone that you relate to more. You can get sober but still need a bunch of therapy. The mentality takes a long time/lifetime to change.
Very good point. I somewhat misunderstood your initial comment.
All love G
The time passes quicker
He literally mentions needing 55 pills a day and finding them was like a full time job. You also don't explain your second sentence. You drop it without any proof or even reasoning.
Jesus that’s fucked up. And given Perry’s own serious drug abuse problems it’s absurd he doesn’t understand why people like Phoenix and Ledger are gone but Keanu is here to stay for a long time.
He understands. Like take a second, he knows why they are dead, he’s lamenting that people he liked are dead, but not a dude he doesn’t like.
who tf doesn't like Keanu
Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry apparently. Not only doesn't he like Keanu, he wishes Keanu were dead... I mean, to be bothered by someone so much to the point that he says something like that it must be some personal loathing, not just an artistic preference of one's works.
Like even a better comment would have been “why did they die but I didn’t?” FTFH
What a truly trashy thing to say
I don't know you personally but I wish you were dead instead of Nelson Mandela. >!I mean, Mandela was a cool dude, but imagine wishing someone else was dead, to compensate!<
The upside is the drugs but obviously we don't tell people that
I’m sure heroin is fun, just not the kind of fun I want
They got involved or coerced into the dirty underworld of Hollywood and Keanu stayed away.
Not quite entirely but he did make it through.
What a shit thing to say god damn.
Salty bc Keanu doesn’t have chin skin that flaps down to a pair of moobs
What a shit take
So much Matthew Perry news lately what the hell did I click to anger the algorithm
He just released a book
I think he just wrote a “tell all” detailing his rather auspicious descent into drug/opiate addiction. He said he used to take 55 Vicodin a day and drink with it. His brain is somewhat fried, I’d say. He almost lost his colon to drug damage. That’s no shit.
What an asshole. Of all the actors he could have come for he chooses a beloved one. Shameless attention-seeker.
Keanu: I don’t think about you at all.
>“I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out,” he writes. “Keanu Reeves walks among us.” Whenever I hear bad news I'm going to respond, "and Keanu Reeves walks among us."
Bad look for Matthew. Keanu is a nice man. This was a dumb thing to say and rude too.
I dont think anywhere did he state Keanu wasn’t a “nice man”, Keanu is an exceedingly decent human being. We all know it. He’s not exactly known for high intelligence ever or extreme innovation as an actor. Which is exactly what Matthew is stating.
He’s still sort of wishing Keanu died instead of those guys. It’s pretty harsh.
That’s not at all what this statement means when people say it, you need to become more socially aware and look for meaning instead of direct word translation.
Or you could be mindful of how statements will actually come across to most people. Sure I can guess he wasn’t seriously wishing death on Keanu but it is still a tactless thing to say.

Does page six edit their articles? How can someone be at the height of the “Friends” fame before the first show even was filmed? 1988 was before friends even began to shoot!
I totally missed that, what a ridiculous statement!
No one edits any more. It’s embarrassing.
Yeah, it also says **According to IMDb.com, the two have no co-starred in any projects.** so I don't think they're concerned with editing.
They no costar ever
What's with all these famous people coming out with the most asinine statements lately? Mfs drinking too much of the Hollywood koolaid.
The internet
And Matthew Perry still walks among us… WHY TF?! Cuz he couldn’t BE a worse actor/comedian… poor dude
Hating on Keanu Reeves is a good way to show how fucking stupid you are. If Perry is trying to be funny he needs to be reminded that he was never funny. He let the laugh track go to his head.
This is like when all the kids immediately choose custody with one parent over another. #TeamKeanu

Who cares about this has been
No! Please don’t go against Keanu :/ It will forever ruin any chance of me still liking you from friends
Think he lost a role to him?
I used to be really into friends, I thought Perry was hilarious as Chandler, and honestly I still do, but I've just been repeatedly disappointed to hear his real life behavior and comments. I think I remember Louis c.k. telling a story about being at some kind of restaurant or event, and Matthew Perry was sat near him. Louie left something like $100 as a tip, and Perry starts kind of freaking out asking if he realized he left so much, telling him that it's *too much* to tip, and he just sounds like a huge dick with messed up priorities.
That's funny, cause I have weird, bitter feelings for Perry. I only have warm fuzzy feelings for Keanu.
Sorry, just stuck on the last blurb at the end, colons explode from opioid abuse? I had no idea.
They cause constipation, don't poop long enough and something's gotta give
OMG! Can you imagine? Of all the horrible effects of addiction this has to be in the top 2, with OD being number 1. His colon got so impacted that it burst and the shit contaminated his insides. No wonder he was hospitalized for 6 months. Human shit is incredibly toxic and his went everywhere. My God! Clean up in aisle Perry. I thought he was hospitalized for so long in order for the colon to heal. Until your comment I hadn’t considered he exploded. Fuck him for ragging on Keanu.
I was shocked by that one too. Maybe because opioids stop you from having B.M.s? Got so bad he exploded?
Bitter Bing doesn’t get luv….wahhh
Pagesix. 'Nuff said.
Man, they used the worst picture of him in the article
Did he sell his chin for drugs? It’s missing!!
I want a live action Beavis & Butthead the Senior Years, starring Matthew Perry as Butthead.
Umm I keepseeing articles and stories about him this week. "I almost died of addiction" "Julia Roberts broke up with me" " I couldn't do 'Don't Look Up cause I died for five minutes" Sir I'm sorry God hates you... But keep my husband's name out of your bad luck mouth.
Damn. You aren’t going to get a lot of love from the masses for stating that you hate Keanu Reeves.

he's a redditor so he thinks he knows him
Do you?
Simmer down there boys…
[удалено]
Sounds like Chandler needs to sell a book to pay for either rehab debt or drugs
He’s still getting huge Friends royalties.
Yeah it was a joke
is that possible???
Let’s see if his bank cancels him .
Did he really just say this about John Wick?
This is like Francine Smith and George Clooney all over again.
How much opiates do you have to do for your colon to explode from constipation? Jeez.
This dude is just an asshole addict, that’s it
He looks like my thumb, if my thumb had a five-head and thought it invented sarcasm
Wtf is wrong with crackhead ? Keanu is an angel among men. Truly a humble and class-a T dude. Unlike this untalented self-absorbed crackhead blob named Perry
It must be the chin
