Matthew Perry shares rare photo with dad, John Bennett Perry
Could they be any more adorable?
Matthew Perry shared a very rare photo with his dad, actor John Bennett Perry, via Instagram on Sunday.
“Here is me, and my father John, both holding a beverage,” he captioned the image.
In the pic, the father-son duo are in fact holding a beverage each as they pose in what appears to be the “Friends” alum’s living room.
The “Odd Couple” alum, 54, and his dad, 82, are standing next to a billiard pool table and in front of a purple coach and sign that reads, “I forget what I forgot.”
The “17 Again” actor has been more vocal on social media as of late. Days earlier, he took a snapshot of his backyard and wrote, “Why can Elon Musk send a woman to the moon and not be able to invent a silent leaf blower?”
The pair previously worked alongside of each other in the 1997 film “Fools Rush In.” John even appeared in the season 4 episode of “Friends” titled “The One with Rachel’s New Dress,” in which he played the father of Joshua, a love interest that Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel dated.
Matthew has remained close with his “Friends” costars, which also includes Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc. It was Aniston, however, that called him out on his drug use while they filmed the NBC sitcom.
“I had long since gotten over her – ever since she started dating Brad Pitt, I was fine – and had worked out exactly how long to look at her without it being awkward, but still, to be confronted by Jennifer Aniston was devastating. And I was confused,” he wrote in his 2022 memoir titled, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” recalling the actress said “I know you’re drinking.”
“I was the injured penguin, but I was determined to not let these wonderful people, and this show, down,” he wrote. “‘We can smell it,’ she said, in a kind of weird but loving way, and the plural ‘we’ hit me like a sledgehammer.”
The pair — along with the rest of the cast — reunited for a 2021 HBO Max special.
Last year, Matthew opened up about wanted to be a father one day himself.
“I think I’d be great. I really do,” he told People. “I grew up with a lot of little kids around me, and that’s probably why, but I can’t wait.”
As for love, he added: “I’m not run by the fear I used to be run by so everything’s kind of different. I’m feeling more confident and I’m not afraid of love anymore, so the next girl I go out with better watch out.”
