Matthew Perry once went on a secret night out with Cameron Diaz, but it didn't end well according to the Friends star.
In his memoir, the former Friends star - who sadly passed away over the weekend - claimed that during their "unexpected" date, the Vanilla Sky actress "accidentally hit him in the face" despite aiming for his shoulder. Matthew wrote that she was "stoned" and the date was soon after her split from Justin Timberlake.
He states that he was set up with Cameron and the pair went to a group dinner party with friends and notes that he could tell she "wasn't interested in [him] at all," before adding that she got "immediately stoned" at the event. Then, during a game of Pictionary, he said "something witty" to her, and she then accidentally hit him in the face when she was apparently aiming for his shoulder.
