Julia Roberts speaks out about Matthew Perry’s “heartbreaking” passing.

Julia Roberts is paying tribute to her late partner, the late Matthew Perry, star of “Friends.” The actress discussed her thoughts on Perry’s passing in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight.” Perry passed away in October at the age of 54.

“It is devastating when someone so young passes away suddenly,” Roberts remarked. “I believe that it just helps all of us to simply appreciate what we have and to keep moving forward as positively as we can,” the speaker said.

In the 1990s, the couple dated for roughly three months, during which Roberts made an appearance as a guest star on “Friends.” Perry wrote in his memoir “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing” about their brief romance.

“I sent her three dozen red roses and the card read: ‘The only thing more exciting than the prospect of you doing the show is that I finally have an excuse to send you flowers,’” he shared in his book.

He wrote that Roberts appeared to have been sent here to make everyone happy, including myself. I had the smile of a fifteen-year-old on his first date.

Roberts said to “Entertainment Tonight” that she was thinking back on her time costarring as Chandler Bing, Perry’s character on “Friends,” with “all good thoughts and feelings.”

“Leave the World Behind,” Roberts’ most recent movie, refers to “Friends.”

Mahershala Ali, who co-starred with her in the movie, told “Entertainment Tonight,” “It’s wonderful he could sort of be honored in that way, or the show sort of be honored, coincidentally, at this time.”
