Nothing he's said sorry. He picked a random actor to make a point but said he should have said himself.

I’m reading his book and something, or a lot, has to be missing surely? He keeps making out as if his childhood was traumatic, but nothing happened?? His parents split up, but he still had a loving relationship with both. His mum worked long hours but his grandparents were close by and very hands-on by the sounds of it. Unless there’s something much darker he’s just not revealing, there just isn’t much trauma there. His mother refused the paint the yard blue at his insistance – is that it?! Sorry, but I reserve my pity for little Justin Trudeau whose life this horrible little brat obviously made difficult.
MP is obviously very witty and articulate, but in the main, VERY selfish. The way he’d sob whenever someone was beating him at tennis, right through to HAVING to have the last line in the last episode. Not to mention how he obviously treats his own mother and girlfriends.
I’m not surprised that no-one contacts him. I wouldn’t either tbh! You reap what you sow and he seems quite nasty. He made Friends what is was though and it obviously cost him everything.

I haven't read the book but agree that there is a reason he's alone - and that reason is him! Lizzy Caplan had a lucky escape.
Jennifer Aniston was on Jonathan Ross this weekend and he asked how often she spoke with the others, I noticed she mentioned every other cast member but him! He seems very hard work really
Having depression and mental illness doesn’t give you a free pass to be an awful human. That isn’t how it works Chandler…
Matthew has apologised to Keanu Reeves publicly and said he has removed Keanu Reeves’ name from future publications of his book. This was after Matthew wrote: "River was a beautiful man, inside and out—too beautiful for this world, it turned out.
"It always seems to be the really talented guys who go down. Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?"
Speaking during a panel at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the weekend, he said: "I said a stupid thing. It was a mean thing to do.
"I pulled his name because I live on the same street. Any future versions of the book will not have his name in it."
He also admitted he would apologise to Keanu in person if he was to ever run into him, reiterating the fact he thought his words were "stupid".

Matthew Perry apologises to Keanu Reeves and will remove his name from book
Matthew Perry has decided to change his memoir titled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing after admitting he was 'stupid'
Did no one challenge him on this before it was published (editor, publisher, agent, friend)? Either they did, and he didn't listen, or they didn't, because they knew it would be pointless.
It's a good thing he apologised and will leave it out of future editions but the fact he even included it at all...what on earth! That was the moment I went right off him and I'm not even what I'd call a fan of Reeves (as in, I've not seen many of his films is all) because anyone who thinks it's okay to tell the world something like that is to be avoided.
It was absolutely grim the stuff Perry was coming out with during the memoir PR tour. Has sort of ruined Chandler Bing for me at least somewhat. There's being honest and then there's taking soulbearing and attention seeking to unhealthy levels.

My husband listened to the audio book and he thought it was one big pity party. Being horrible to/about Keanu Reeves feels a bit ‘punching down’ to me - he’s very popular, he’s not problematic and I’ve read a lot of stories about people meeting him and being a really nice guy. Maybe Matthew knew he wouldn’t get involved in a public spat so he was an easy target?
Yeah, I have heard nothing but good things about Reeves and that's pretty rare.
I think Perry lost a lot of fans that day!
I loved the book but the Keanu references insinuated that his acting is awful...Matthew Perrys isnt great cos he would have had more big hits...he is insecure. He wrote the book too soon also...I have no doubt he will be on and off the wagon for life. Also his timeline is not linear in the book...to disguise how unfaithful he was alll of the time.

She had very little interaction with him at the James Corden reunion...as did Courtney Cox. Hw was obsessed with Jennifer.
I think the Keanu thing is probably, originally meant as a flippant comment.
Obvs Keanu is beloved and is in some great films but his reputation as an actor, in the 90's especially, was that he was wooden and only said 'whoa'. See Bram Stroker's Dracula. The 90's was when Perry was at his height so it kinda makes sense in a lazy hack joke way.
He could have said Arnie, he could have said Jean Claude Van Damme, he could have said Pauly Shore, haha!
If it was him using Keanu as a stereotypical 'bad actor' he made the wrong choice because of Keanu's friendnship with River Phoenix.
I'd say text can be misinterpreted but not having heard the audio version I can't say how it comes across.

I listened to the audio version and the most grating thing about the Keanu passage must have been something that struck you too with the print version – the fact it was, like so much else, repeated twice. I hadn’t heard the uproar about this before listening though and actually went ‘Whoa!’ like Keanu himself and had to press pause. It just felt so unneeded and nasty. The second time round I just eyerolled and that’s the impression that’s stayed with me since. Whoever copyedited that book should have a career rethink. Then again, it was MP who read it – didn’t he feel uncomfortable himself being so repetative? Esp for someone so witty and ‘quick’ in his day.
RIP
So sad he was always my favourite on friends
So sad he was always my favourite on friends
Tragedy he really could have had it all
Same
such a shame he could never overcome his demons 
his last insta post is quite haunting now
Night night bing a ling 
Ah, gutted to hear this. I was a massive Friends fan as a teen and absolutely loved him on and off Friends.
I've gone off him somewhat over the past few years with various things, but 54 is no age to die, how sad.
