Brian Austin Green Shares Why Luke Perry Always Carried Balloons in His Pocket on Planes (Exclusive)

Brian Austin Green has shared heartfelt memories about his late co-star from the iconic series *Beverly Hills, 90210*, Luke Perry, shedding light on the actor’s kindness before his untimely death in 2019. In a recent episode of the *Really Famous* podcast hosted by Kara Mayer Robinson, Green reflected on the ways Perry, who passed away at the age of 52 following a stroke, made a significant impact on those around him.

The discussion came as Green recounted his experiences on the beloved show, where he and Perry starred together for an entire decade. When asked who he felt truly understood him throughout his career, Green expressed surprise at his own answer: “funny enough, Luke Perry.” The depth of their friendship became evident as Green shared anecdotes that highlighted their bond and Perry’s unique character.

Perry’s capacity for empathy and selflessness was showcased in various simple yet powerful gestures. One such example, described by Green, involved Perry bringing balloons on flights specifically for the purpose of comforting crying children on planes. “Every time he flew on a plane, he would have balloons in his pockets so when he would hear a kid crying on the plane, he’d blow up a balloon and he’d walk it to them because it would comfort them in some way,” Green recalled.

Moreover, Perry’s generosity extended beyond just fleeting moments of kindness. Green revealed that Perry would often travel long distances to be by the side of friends in need. “Someone was sick in the hospital across the country, and he would get on a plane and he would fly to the hospital and sit with them and share with them,” he explained. These acts of compassion were never publicised or shared for accolades; Perry did them because he genuinely cared.

Perry’s kindness also found expression in his relationships with neighbours. Green recounted a specific instance where Perry aided a wheelchair-bound neighbour by purchasing a new wheel for him. He also described how Perry would take it upon himself to improve the surroundings of those he cared about. “You’d move into a new house and he would come by and he’d go, ‘You need a better fence.’” Upon noticing a need, Perry would show up unannounced with materials to help out.

While Green was not a direct recipient of such unsolicited generosity, he mentioned that Perry once constructed a fence for their mutual colleague, Ian Ziering. “He would just do those things,” Green said, encapsulating what made Perry so special—his unassuming nature and the genuine desire to help without seeking recognition.

Their shared time on *Beverly Hills, 90210*, which aired from 1990 to 2000, allowed Green and Perry to develop a strong friendship amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Green portrayed David Silver, aspiring musician, while Perry took on the role of Dylan McKay, the brooding rebel. Over the course of ten seasons, the duo created a lasting legacy, both on-screen and in their personal lives.

Reflecting on Perry’s passing, Green recounted moments spent with his family as they reminisced about the many stories and memories that surfaced, revealing the quiet side of Perry that many did not see. It was during these moments of reflection that the depth of Perry’s character became even more apparent.

Green’s interview on the *Really Famous* podcast is a poignant reminder of the profound impact individuals can have on those around them through simple acts of kindness. Luke Perry may have risen to fame as a television star, but it is his legacy of compassion and generosity that will be remembered by friends and fans alike. Perry’s innate drive to uplift others serves as a powerful message in a world that often overlooks the importance of kindness and understanding.

As Green continues to navigate his own journey in the spotlight, the memories of Perry’s selfless spirit will undoubtedly remain close to his heart, inspiring him and others to share moments of goodwill in their daily lives.
