Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is one of the many to pay tribute to Matthew Perry and reflect on their time together as friends, even though the Friends star once admitted to \u201cbeating him up\u201d while they were young.<\/p>\n

Following the news of Perry\u2019s passing, Trudeau, who grew up alongside the star when Perry\u2019s mother served as a press secretary to his father, Pierre, took to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to share his grief.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatthew Perry\u2019s passing is shocking and saddening. I\u2019ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved\u2013and you will be missed,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

However, while his tribute was heartfelt, Perry has previously admitted that he wasn\u2019t always the nicest person to the eventual political figure.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2017, Perry admitted that he was a few years ahead of Trudeau in school, and shared that he had recently been reminded of times he had beaten up the future prime minister.<\/p>\n

He shared he \u201cwasn\u2019t proud\u201d of it and that it had been born of \u201cjealousy\u201d because Trudeau was \u201cexcelling in a sport.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the only kid in school that we could beat up,\u201d he also said at the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not bragging about this. It\u2019s terrible. I was a stupid kid. I didn\u2019t want to beat him up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He also joked that the experience may have helped Trudeau ascend to the level of power he did. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was rather instrumental in him going to such great heights and becoming the prime minister,\u201d he said. \u201cI think he said, \u2018I\u2019m going to rise above this and I\u2019m going to be prime minister’.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Perry\u2019s death was confirmed, tributes have poured in from celebrities who knew him, including Trudeau, as well as his co-stars from The Odd Couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The main Friends cast has thus far remained silent.<\/span><\/p>\n
