In a new interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Sarah Paulson had quite a story to tell about how Matthew Perry avoided kissing her at a make-out party.
The actress told Jimmy Kimmel that they had known each other through a friend of hers, and it would’ve been awkward. “We knew each other a little bit through one of my very best friends in the world. So it was awkward.”
Sarah explained that the late actress Carrie Fisher invited her to the event, which she described as “Gore Vidal’s make-out party.” A lot of other stars were there, including Shirley MacLaine and Queen Latifah.
Sarah started: “I didn’t see anyone make out, but there was a hat with names in it and you were supposed to make out with whomever you pulled out of the hat. And Matthew Perry pulled my name out of the hat and then promptly left the room.”
She also revealed that she “saw him. He was like, ‘Oh, well,’ and he was like, ‘I got you.’ And I was like, ‘Uh, well, let’s kiss.’ And he was like, ‘No.'”
“But then we ended up playing romantic partners years later on a show called Studio 60, and I got my kiss. I got several kisses.”
“And boy did he regret not taking me up on it back at Gore Vidal’s make-out party.”
In the interview, Sarah also discussed her friendship with actress Diane Keaton. And how she has a bit of neurosis concerning the pandemic.
