COMING UP IN PARADE: FEBRUARY 13, 2011
MR. SUNSHINE ACTOR AND EVERYONE’S FRIEND, MATTHEW PERRY SAYS ‘I’D RATHER BE ME NOW THAN ME AT 20’
“I’ve certainly had a lot of experiences in my life where I was much too self-centered,” Matthew Perry, 41, says in PARADE’s February 13 cover story. “I’d rather be me now than me at 20.”
The legions of fans who’ve missed the Friends star will be glad to know he’s back in prime time on ABC’s Mr. Sunshine, playing Ben Donovan, the 40-year-old general manager of a fictional San Diego arena and the personification of a mid-life crisis. Asked whether Ben and his Friends character, Chandler Bing, share traits, Perry says the likenesses are more between Ben and himself five years ago. “This show is going to be about the 9,000 mistakes Ben makes on the journey to becoming a real person who cares about other people.”
Perry has had some highly publicized battles with addiction, going to rehab in 1997 and 2001 for alcohol- and drug-abuse treatment. And one thing he has yet to make time for is marriage and a family. Will he finally settle down? Check out PARADE on Sunday to find out!
