TORONTO — Former “Friends” star Matthew Perry says he once beat up Justin Trudeau in grade school over “pure jealousy” of his athletic abilities.

The actor, who played Chandler Bing on the sitcom, recounted his memory of the Grade 5 scuffle on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show Wednesday night.

Perry was raised in Ottawa and attended Rockcliffe Park Public School, where former prime minister Pierre Trudeau sent his sons.

The actor’s mother, Suzanne Perry, was once the elder Trudeau’s press secretary.

Perry insisted he wasn’t bragging about the incident and called himself “a stupid kid.”
