NOTE THE DATE: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau Demands “Rematch” Against Childhood Bully Matthew Perry

April 1, 2017 Politics, Silliness

Watch out Matthew Perry — Justin Trudeau is ready to fight! The Canadian prime minister tweeted on Saturday morning that he’s ready for a rematch with the Friends star, who beat him up once when they attended elementary school at Rockcliffe Park Public School in Ottawa.

“I’ve been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn’t wanted to punch Chandler?” Trudeau, 45, wrote. “How about a rematch @MatthewPerry?” Perry, who is “half-Canadian,” recounted their original fight during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 15.

Although the 47-year-old actor was in fifth grade at the time — and a few years ahead of Trudeau — he was envious of the boy. “My friend Chris Murray, who was also in the fifth grade in Canada, reminded me that we actually beat up Justin Trudeau,” he told Kimmel, 49. “We both beat him up. I think he was excelling in a sport that we weren’t so it was pure jealousy.”
