Matthew Perry says he’s still mortified after spending the night talking to a man who he believed was director M. Night Shyamalan, only to find out he was a look-alike!

He struck up a friendly conversation with the cast from The Sixth Sense at the People’s Choice Awards back in 1999 and then was convinced he had run into him years later.

Perry Says:

“We talked for a little while, and then I started to realise, you know, he likes me. Laughing at everything I say, really enjoying me. We’re not really talking about showbusiness, just sort of bonding.

“I started to think, ‘Ok, this guy really likes me.’ Like in the Hollywood way where I’m going to be the lead in his next movie. I’m like, he’s going to make a movie about aliens who come down and there’s a trick ending, and it’s gonna be me!
We go to the next place, we’re hanging out. …Another hour passes, he goes to the bathroom, he comes back, and then… I realise it’s not M. Night Shyamalan. It’s just an Indian guy who looks a lot like M. Night Shyamalan! I hightailed it out of there. I felt dirty.”

Perry says he’s still embarrased and occasionally even sees the look-alike out and about in L.A.:

“The problem is, I see this guy out, now, and we look at each other like jilted lovers.”
