Matthew Perry once had his heart broken by this Friends actress and he struggled to keep his feelings in check while filming too.

&#8220;Never be able to be with her&#8221; &#8211; Back When Mathew Perry Revealed His True Love for This &#8216;Friends&#8217; Co-star

Back in the cherished era of the ’90s, the iconic sitcom Friends warmed fans’
hearts with stirring tales of friendship. If the cozy Central Perk couch could
talk, it would tell endless tales of the quirky gang and their escapades across
Manhattan. And behind the beloved faces of the characters were equally lovable
actors. As the characters’ dramatic love stories played out, they were forever
etched in fans’ memories.

From Rachel’s entanglements and Joey’s goofy adventures, there was plenty of
drama. And the face behind Chandler, Matthew Perry, once revealed some
behind-the-scenes drama that was unfolding simultaneously.


MATTHEW PERRY DID NOT HAVE IT AS EASY AS CHANDLER

The reigning king of sarcasm, Chandler’s effortless charm, was the Yin to
Monica’s uptight Yang. But unlike Perry’s on-screen romance, his off-screen
crushes seemed far more attainable to the actor. In The Jess Cagle Podcast in
November 2022, he revealed that he knew about the romantic tensions between
David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston. Which was tough considering that he
fancied her himself, making him feel like he will “never be able to be with
her.”

Earlier, in an interview, Perry had also divulged an embarrassing moment when
Aniston outright rejected him

It is tough to blame him for trying because to put it in his own words, “How can
you not have a crush on Jennifer Aniston?” Eventually, his emotions faded as she
did not reciprocate his feelings and he decided to tell himself that it was
“enough.”

But the feelings resurfaced after a while. Except, this time they were for a
different Friends actress!


WHICH FRIENDS ACTRESS DID MATTHEW PERRY NOT CRUSH ON?

Later in the podcast, the 53-year-old went on to confess that he eventually
developed a little crush on Lisa Kudrow as well. And that is not all. There was
also a time that he fell for his on-screen romantic partner, Courteney Cox.
Almost makes us wonder if his heart ever fluttered for Maggie Wheeler, who
played Janice! The actor was facing battles on many fronts besides the romantic
one, considering he was also fighting with addiction at the time
