According to a report by Page Six, Perry has reflected on a one-time date with Hollywood star Cameron Diaz in his new memoir. The Friends star alleged that he and Diaz were set up shortly after Diaz's break up with Justin Timberlake in 2007.

Matthew Perry reveals why he broke up with Julia Roberts

Perry and Julia Roberts began dating back in 1995 after the latter's cameo in Friends. However, their romance did not last long as Perry ended it after two months. 

According to an Entertainment Weekly report, Perry shared the reason behind his split with the Eat Prey Love star in his memoir. In an excerpt, the actor revealed Roberts was too much for him as he constantly thought that the latter would break up with him. He added that he thought he was unlovable and not enough for her. He added, "So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts. She might have considered herself slumming it with a TV guy, and TV guy was now breaking up with her. I can't begin to describe the look of confusion on her face."
