Sarah Paulson Reveals What Matthew Perry Did for Her Career

Buy Me A Coffee

Sarah Paulson spilled the beans on her secret weapon for landing a job when she was in a “desperate” career pickle: none other than the late, great Matthew Perry from Friends!

In a hilarious twist of fate, Paulson shared the juicy details during her stint on The View, revealing Perry as her unlikely job fairy. Apparently, in the wild world of showbiz, Perry was not just Chandler Bing from Friends; he moonlighted as a job-saving superhero.

Picture this: Sarah, on the brink of an audition that could make or break her career. Cue Matthew Perry, swooping in like a comedy knight in shining armor. The two were co-stars on the 2006 NBC drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and Perry, being the benevolent buddy, decided to lend a helping hand.

Paulson spilled the beans to The View’s Sunny Hostin, recounting how Perry, linked by the threads of friendship to Paulson’s bestie Amanda Peet, orchestrated a parking lot rendezvous for the ages. Forget coffee – they met for a dramatic reading in Perry’s car.

“He ran the whole scene with me multiple times so I could have a leg up on the other performer. And I did get the job,” Paulson revealed with a sly grin. Who needs a four-leaf clover when you have Matthew Perry running lines in a car, right?

In a world where celebrities often guard their audition secrets like classified government files, Perry broke the mold. He wasn’t just generous; he was the audition Yoda, imparting wisdom in the form of scene rehearsals.

“He absolutely did not need to do that,” Paulson admitted, still amazed by Perry’s act of comedic kindness. It turns out, making Chandler Bing laugh was the ultimate validation in life, and Paulson had achieved that illustrious feat not once, but a couple of times.

“He was just the kind of person that if you made him laugh or if you made him smile you felt like you had really arrived. I had the great pleasure of making him laugh a couple times and it made me feel really good. He was a wonderful guy.”
