February 25, 2000 –
The crime comedy film, The Whole Nine Yards, starring Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Natasha Henstridge, opened in theaters on this day.
Bruce Willis agreeing to guest appear on Friends for free because he lost a bet to Matthew Perry during filming is an urban legend. In People Magazine: Star Spotlight 2000, “Willis agreed to a guest stint on ‘Friends’ simply because he and Perry thought it would be fun“. News outlets mistakenly reported on the rumor, and fans have been perpetuating it ever since. Willis was paid for the role, including syndication runs, but donated the money to various charities.
