Matthew Perry has the best friends in the world! , he convinced Julia Roberts to appear Friends with a little help from the writers on the sitcom.
“Matthew asked her to be on the show,” said Kevin Bright, co-creator of the series. The Hollywood Reporter. “She wrote back to him, ‘Write me a paper on quantum physics, and I’ll do it. ‘
“My understanding is that Matthew went away and wrote a paper and faxed it to her the next day,” he continued.

She gave him these questionnaires, such as, ‘Why should I go out with you? “And everyone in the author’s room helped him explain to her why,” she said.
