Friends\u00a0<\/em>star Matthew Perry<\/a> has recalled being on a group date with Cameron Diaz<\/a> shortly after her split with Justin Timberlake in his newly-released memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.\u00a0<\/em>It was sometime after 2007 when the couple were set up but according to the actor, their first date didn’t exactly go very well.<\/p>\n

While at a group dinner party, the book alleges that Diaz had gotten “immediately stoned” and “wasn’t interested at all” in the sit-com star. Perry, now 53, writes that he said “something witty” during a game of Pictionary (classic) and instead of hitting his shoulder, the Charlie’s Angels\u00a0<\/em>actress put her on-screen skills to good use when she “accidentally” missed and punched his face instead. \u201cAre you f***ing kidding me?\u201d he remembers replying.<\/p>\n

Diaz had been dating Timberlake between the years 2003 and 2007 before a very public split.<\/p>\n

Within Perry’s new book we also received insight into his brief relationship with Julia Roberts<\/a> in the ’90s. After trying to “woo” the actress into appearing as a special guest on\u00a0Friends,\u00a0<\/em>the pair eventually fell into a relationship. At the time Perry was struggling with drug addiction. He wrote that \u201cdating Julia Roberts had been too much\u201d and that his mental health and self-esteem issues led to them breaking up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me,\u201d Perry wrote. \u201cWhy would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable. So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts.”<\/p>\n

Perry is currently 18 months sober.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1627,"featured_media":28937,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[36,35],"yoast_head":"\nCameron Diaz Once Punched Matthew Perry On A Group Date - Grazia Middle East<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In Matthew Perry's new memoir, the Friends actor detailed being set up with Cameron Diaz.
