Matthew Perry had what almost every man in the 1990s dreamed of: chemistry with A-list actress Julia Roberts.
But it all came apart almost as soon as they got together back in 1996. And now, the former Friends sitcom star is opening up about what caused the quick split!

Of course, Perry has been in the headlines quite a bit lately with his new memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. That book was excerpted in the U.K. paper The Times over the weekend, as we’ve been covering. And now, another new excerpt lays out what happened when Perry and the Erin Brockovich star first got together!
For starters, the 53-year-old sitcom alum explained how the relationship came about early in 1996. It was then that Julia was offered a chance to star in a post-Super Bowl season two episode of Friends. But as the man who played Chandler Bing explained in the excerpt, she would only do so if she could be part of Perry’s on-air storyline:
Whoa!
So, Perry got to work. First, he sent three dozen roses to the Pretty Woman star in an attempt to pique her interest and get the ball rolling on the show — and the relationship. The 54-year-old movie star responded well to that, but needed more:
LOLz! That’s so random! And so difficult!!
Perry explained in the excerpt how he used the next 24 hours to do whatever he could to learn about the subject:
Just quantum physics, right? Not like it’s complicated or anything. LOLz! But from there, he was in!
Perry explained:
Unreal!!
Sadly, though, there’s a sad ending to this tale. In fact, just two months after Perry and Roberts first got together, he decided to end things with the Oscar winner.
