바카라Giving up tennis wasn바카라t really a decision I had to make,바카라 Perry told Men바카라s Health in 2012. 바카라I was a very good tennis player in Ottawa, Canada 바카라 nationally ranked when I was, like, 13. Then I moved to Los Angeles when I was 15, and everyone in L.A. just killed me.
바카라I was pretty great in Canada. Not so much in Los Angeles. It was insane. I realized I wouldn바카라t be playing tennis for a living, so I went for acting.바카라
Perry remained a sports fan, however, especially professing his love for Tennis on several occasions through his social media account. At the apex of his fame, he even participated in several exhibition matches and was a common sight at the US Open tournaments of the bygone years.
A fan of the New York-based franchises, New York Knicks and New York Giants, in his TV role, Perry, it is believed, supported the New England Patriots and Toronto Blue Jays in real life. Given his frequent courtside appearances, however, one can say that the actor was, more than anything else, a fan of sports as a whole.
Perry바카라s passing was met with much grief, with even those from the sporting world chiming in with their tributes. Below are some of the same:
Matthew Perry starred in ten seasons of Friends, appearing in 236 episodes as one of the six main characters, Chandler Bing.
