In his book, Matthew revealed that Julia had told Friends producers she would star in the show under the condition that she would be included in the storyline of Chandler Bing. In response to this Matthew decided to send Julia "three dozen red roses" and a card that read: "The only thing more exciting than the prospect of you doing the show is that I finally have an excuse to send you flowers." This is where their relationship blossomed and during the early days in 1995, they would communicate over fax before they met in person.
The actor said they used to send "hundreds" of faxes every day and described Julia's messages as "smart" which made him feel as though "she was placed on this planet to make the world smile".
"Thus began a three-month-long courtship by daily faxes.
This was pre-internet, pre-cell phones - all our exchanges were done by fax. And there were many; hundreds", Matthew wrote
