Friends star Matthew Perry will remove controversial references to Keanu Reeves from his autobiography. The 53-year-old, who played Chandler Bing in the hugely popular sitcom, faced a backlash after referencing Reeves in his memoir 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing'.
The memoir is an open and frank account of Perry's life in acting, as well as his struggles dealing with substance abuse and addiction. However, there are two mentions of Reeves, 58, which some took to be disparaging.
One excerpt references the death of Perry's friend, the actor River Phoenix in 1993, who was his co-star in the 1988 film A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon. Phoenix died in 1993, aged 23, after an overdose of cocaine and heroin.
