Matthew Perry had received texts from his "Friends" co-stars, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc, after thinking they wouldn't care about his book, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing."
In an interview on "Good Morning America," the 53-year-old star told George Stephanopoulos that he hoped Aniston, Kudrow, Cox, Schwimmer, and LeBlanc would read his book, which hit the store Tuesday, Nov. 1. Thankfully, they seemed to hear Perry's request.
The actor revealed he had already gotten "some really nice texts" from a few of them, even if the book wasn't out yet. However, he didn't name from whom the texts came.
He then hoped to get more, clearing it was important for him not to go after anyone and wasn't "gossipy" in the book.
Perry's new revelation opposed his earlier claim that his former castmates would not care about his memoir. He told GQ that only addicts and "Friends" fans would be concerned about his book.
However, it was Kudrow who wrote "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing" foreword, which mostly focused on his addiction problems that went on for decades.
"He has survived impossible odds, but I had no idea how many times he almost didn't make it," she wrote, revealing it was the first time she heard her "Friends" co-star's story "in detail." Now, Perry had let everyone into his mind and heart.
In fact, Perry also revealed in the book that he used to have a massive crush on Aniston, making working with her at the time a huge struggle after turning him down. The two met three years before working together on "Friends."
He detailed that he was immediately taken by her and instantly liked her. He thought she was interested in him, too, so he believed it would turn into something.
He called her and told her that she was the first one to learn he had two jobs in one day at the time, "Haywire" and a sitcom. Perry then realized the revelation made Aniston think he liked her too much in the wrong way and made it even worse when he asked her out.
Brad Pitt's ex declined and said they could be friends, which he refused. Despite that, though, they still ended up as friends. However, when they started doing "Friends," Perry admitted he was still hardly crushing on Aniston and liked Kudrow and Cox.
