We are getting a double-shocker here. First Matthew Perry and Justin Trudeau were schoolmates, and second, that the Friends star used to beat up Justin Trudeau in school. Matthew was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and he said that it was out of “pure jealousy” because the now Canadian Prime Minister excelled in sports. And guess what, Matthew Perry and his friend got away with it even though Justin Trudeau’s dad, Pierre Trudeau, was serving as the Prime Minister of Canada then! Either Trudeau didn’t snitch, or Perry got lucky!
Matthew Perry also said he wasn’t proud of what he did and went on to crack a few jokes at himself. Since we know Justin Trudeau is quite sporty, this incident might explain his love for boxing.
