Buzzline Matthew Perry Interview

Posted by on April 14, 2009

Matthew Perry took some time out to talk to Buzzine about being 17 again, taking advantage of all that life has to offer, and making a move back to TV.

Emmanuel Itier: Would you like to be 17 again?

Matthew Perry: Is that the first question? Would I like to be 17 again? No…however, if I could be 17 — like this guy in the movie — and know what I know now, then that would be nice. Then I could take advantage of it. But I wouldn’t to go back and be 17 and not know what I know now.

EI: Were you a cool 17-year-old?

MP: No, I was the coolest of the non-cool kids in school. There were the popular guys and then the dorky geeks, and I was probably the coolest of the dorky geeks.

EI: Why did you decide to do this movie?

MP: It’s funny — I read the script, but I didn’t know who Zac Efron was.

EI: How long ago did you read it?

MP: About a year-and-a-half ago. He was still a big deal; I just had no idea who he was. I didn’t know anything about High School Musical and I still haven’t seen it.

EI: You’re missing out.

MP: Yeah, I’ve got my whole afternoon planned. I am going to watch all three movies back-to-back. I read the script and I really liked it. I felt it was really moving. The part I got to play was a sort of dissatisfied 37-year-old guy who is miserable and then gets to go on this journey, and that was moving to me. Then I found out that Zac Efron was kind of a big deal.
