JAKARTA - Matthew Perry will delete one of the contents of the memoir released last year. One of his statements about actor Keanu Reeves will be removed from his latest memoir edition. What's wrong?

Perry released a memoir titled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing last year. In this book, the Friends series star reveals his long journey in dealing with addiction and drug abuse.

However, this book became controversial after containing a negative statement about Keanu Reeves. This comment was written in one of the chapters on the mediating River Phoenix, Reeves' best friend in 1993.

Matthew Perry wrote, "Why do true thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves is still around us?"

After its release, Matthew Perry apologized for the article. He admitted to being a big fan of Keanu Reeves and randomly chose the name for the punchline.

Now, Perry will remove the section from the latest release of his memoir book. He announced this update at a book festival last week.

"I'm talking stupid things. It hurts. I chose his name because I live on the same street (with Reeves)... I publicly apologize to him. There's no name in this latest version of the book," said Matthew Perry.

If I met him, I would apologize. This is so stupid," he continued.

Keanu Reeves reportedly knew about the article, but he did not expect Matthew Perry's comments.
