"I think it was rather instrumental in him going to such big heights and becoming the Prime Minister," Perry said. Perry joked that the incident sparked Trudeau's eventual leadership of their home country. Perry, a few years older than Trudeau, said he wasn't bragging about it, that he was "a stupid kid." What's more, the actor's mother, Suzanne Perry, was a former press secretary to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Perry said: ""I think he was excelling in a sport, so it was pure jealousy, and we beat him up," "That would never happen to Donald Trump, you'd be in the stockade right now, you'd be in Russia somewhere," Kimmel said. He grew up in Canada and described himself as half-Canadian - which explains the seemingly random link. Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, the playwright and comedian admitted to "beating up" the Canadian Prime Minister back at school. But in real life (as a kid at least), turns out the actor was pretty scrappy - and his opponents were famous, too. You'll remember Matthew Perry as a bit of a wimp, if his Friends character was anything to go by. Matthew Perry admits he once beat up Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Cox told Leno that Perry was going to be her man slave for five more months. Perry walked out from backstage with a tissue in his hand. Leno asked Cox what the bet was, to which Cox sneezed and then rang a bell. When they heard that Judd Nelson (Hall's castmate in The Breakfast Club) was filming Suddenly Susan (1996) on a nearby stage, they went over and asked him and found out the quote was indeed from The Breakfast Club.

Perry joked that if he won, Cox would have to sleep with him, and if she won he would have to sleep with her. After asking around among sound men, production staff, et cetera, they couldn't come up with a definitive answer and they began betting on it, starting at twenty dollars then raising the stakes. On-set one day, Cox kept reciting a line by Anthony Michael Hall which goes, "Chicks cannot hold their smoke, that's what it is." Matthew Perry thought it was from Weird Science (1985), but Cox was adamant it was from The Breakfast Club (1985). When Courteney Cox was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), she told Jay this story about filming Friends (1994).
