Matthew Perry once appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show and revealed that he and a classmate teamed up to beat up a fellow Canadian – out of sheer jealousy. He said, “My friend reminded me that we actually beat up Justin Trudeau. I think he excelled at a sport that we were not. It was pure jealousy.”
Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau’s father, was Prime Minister of Canada at the time. “That wasn’t why we beat him up. He was the only kid at school we could beat up,” he confessed to the host. Chandler Bing actor stated that there was no secret service protecting the soon-to-be prime minister while he was at school. If he beat up Barron Trump, the host Jimmy Kimmel warned him that his actions would not have the same consequences in the United States.
“I’m not bragging. I was a stupid kid,” admitted Matthew Perry. He joked that the incident was instrumental in Mr Trudeau’s success and eventually becoming Prime Minister. “I think he said I was going to rise above this and be prime minister,” he said.
That’s a great story, Chandler!
