YEARS after Friends concluded, Matthew Perry remained close with the show's cast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the Emmy Award nominee experienced his breakthrough, he and his family had ties to Justin Trudeau.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where did Matthew Perry and Justin Trudeau go to school?<\/h2>\n

During their grade school years, Matthew Perry and Justin Trudeau attended Rockcliffe Park Public School in Ottawa, Canada.<\/p>\n

Perry was older than Trudeau by three years and their families were well-acquainted with each other.<\/p>\n

"I have a story about him that I'm not proud of," the late Friends actor told Jimmy Kimmel.<\/p>\n

During the interview, he recalled: "He reminded me we actually beat up Justin Trudeau.<\/p>\n

"We both beat him up. I think he was excelling in a sport that we weren't. So, it was pure jealousy.<\/p>\n

"I'm not bragging about this, it was terrible, I was a stupid kid.<\/p>\n

"I think it was rather instrumental in him becoming, you know, going to such great heights and becoming the prime minister. <\/p>\n

Perry jokingly added: "I think he said 'I'm going to rise above this.' <\/p>\n

"I feel shame, I don't want to think about it. His dad was the prime minister but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the reason we beat him up. <\/p>\n

"I think he was the only kid in school we could beat up."<\/p>\n

At the time, Trudeau responded via Twitter: "How about a rematch?<\/p>\n

"I've been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn't wanted to punch Chandler?"<\/p>\n

Perry comically tweeted back: "I think I will pass at your request for a rematch kind sir (given that you currently have an army at your disposal)."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did Perry's family know Trudeau's family?<\/h2>\n

Aside from being schoolmates, Perry's mother Suzanne Langford was a press secretary to Justin's father Pierre Trudeau.<\/p>\n

From 1968 to 1984, Pierre served as Canada's 15th Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Justin continued his family's political legacy when he became the country's 23rd Prime Minister; he assumed office on November 4, 2015.<\/p>\n
