How Matthew Perry and Justin Trudeau met
Their parents were close. Matthew Perry’s mother, Suzanne Morrison, was press secretary to Justin’s father, Pierre Trudeau, when he was Prime Minister of Canada.
The distant relationship between the two was recalled recently, in 2017, when Matthew Perry participated in the program Jimmy Kimmel Live! and he revealed that he bullied the Canadian prime minister when he was in fifth grade.
“I don’t remember why I did it,” he told the program. “I think it’s because she was better than me and my friend at sports, and we were jealous. I’m not proud of it at all,” she said at the time.
Trudeau, at the time, took to Twitter and responded with good humor: “I thought about it for a while and, you know what? Who didn’t want to punch Chandler? How about a rematch, Matthew Perry?”
The actor maintained a good-humoured tone in his response: “I think I’ll let your request for a rematch pass, dear sir (since you currently have an army at your disposal).
I think I’ll move on to your request for a rematch, kind sir (since you currently have an army at your disposal)
