Matthew Perry showed off his very tanned complexion when he attended an ice hockey game in LA on Saturday night.
The Friends actor, 53, sat in the crowd watching the Edmonton Oilers v Los Angeles Kings at the Crypto Arena.
He had a very bronzed look on his face and especially forehead as he chatted with friends in the stands.
Matthew was dressed casually in a green jacket and black T-shirt and wore clear rimmed glasses and his usual facial hair.
The game was the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs and Matthew was there to catch all the action.
Bronzed: Matthew Perry showed off his very tanned complexion as he attended an ice hockey game in LA on Saturday night
He looked in good spirits as he soaked up the atmosphere of the game as he sat in the crowd.
It comes just after Matthew said nasty comments he made about Keanu Reeves in his memoir released last fall, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing will be omitted from future issues.
The star raised eyebrows last year and apologized after asking why Reeves “still walks among us” when peers like River Phoenix and Chris Farley passed away prematurely.
The Williamstown, Massachusetts native appeared on the Saturday Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC’s Bovard Auditorium, where he told a panel that “future versions of the book will not feature his name.”
Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the NBC hit, complained about the mistake at the event, where he was promoting the book.
“I said something stupid… it was a mean thing to do,” Perry said, adding that he has “publicly apologized to” the John Wick actor.
Perry said he made the decision to withhold comments about Reeves in part because the actor is a neighbor of his.

Oh no: Perry raised eyebrows last year and apologized after asking why Reeves ‘still walks among us’ when peers like River Phoenix and Chris Farley had passed away prematurely
“I drew his name because I live on the same street,” Perry said, adding that he hasn’t personally told Reeves he regrets the comments, but that he would if given the chance.
“If I come across that guy, I’ll apologize — it was just stupid,” he said.
In the book released last November, Perry referenced Reeves when he spoke of the death of Phoenix on October 31, 1993, whom Reeves appeared opposite in 1991’s My Own Private Idaho.
Perry wrote, “River was a beautiful man inside and out—too beautiful for this world, as it turned out.
“It always seems to be the really talented guys that go down. How come original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?’
Perry made a second reference to Reeves when reflecting on Chris Farley’s fatal overdose in December 1997.
He said, “I punched a hole in the wall of Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room when I found out. Keanu Reeves walks between us.
Amid backlash, Perry apologized for the references to Reeves in his book. He said in a statement, “I’m actually a huge fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead.”
A source close to Reeves said so Us weekly that the A-lister “thought the comments came from left field,” adding, “It kind of backfires on Matthew anyway, which is why he had to apologize.”
While Reeves has called Phoenix one of his “good friends from that era,” according to the Irish timesPerry also had a strong bond with the rising star after the future TV mainstay made his feature film debut opposite him in 1988’s A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon.
In his memoir, Perry describes how their time filming the movie in Chicago helped build a strong bond, while also tagging another alleged joke against Reeves.
River was a beautiful man inside and out and too beautiful for this world, it turned out. It always seems to be the really talented guys that go down,” he writes.
Phoenix famously died of a combined heroin and cocaine overdose outside the Viper Room in West Hollywood, and Perry writes that he “heard the screams from my apartment; went back to bed; woke up to the news.’
He added that he burst into sobs after hearing that his friend had passed away.
However, Perry’s jabs and Reeves weren’t limited to their mutual connection with Phoenix.
He also blasted the John Wick star in another aside while discussing his late friend Chris Farley, who died in 1997 aged 33 from a drug overdose from combining a stimulant (cocaine) with a depressant (morphine) , a similar concoction to the speedball that killed Phoenix.
Perry and Farley co-starred in the Christopher Guest-directed comedy Almost Heroes, which was released the year after Farley’s death.
“I punched a hole in the wall of Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room when I found out [about Farley’s death]he writes, adding, “Keanu Reeves walks among us.”

Throwback: Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the NBC hit, complained about the mistake at the event, where he was promoting the book
Aside from his grievances about other actors, Perry delved into his extensive history with drug addiction in his memoir and in recent interviews, which may have made the deaths of Phoenix, Ledger, and Farley especially painful.
While talking to People earlier this month he revealed that his colon had ruptured as a result of his opioid addiction when he was 49. Doctors gave him only a two percent chance of survival, and the medical emergency left him in a coma for two weeks, followed by another month in the hospital.
He required 14 surgeries to help repair all of the abdominal damage, and he admitted to going to rehab 15 times over the years in hopes of kicking his drug habit.
