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.”

It looks as if a movie adaptation of the massively popular TV series Friends could soon be hitting cinema screens.
According to the Daily Mail, the cast feel compelled to reprise their roles after the recent success of the Sex and the City movie, despite David Schwimmer previously claiming he would rather not play Ross again.
Schwimmer will be joined by Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow to begin filming “within the next 18 months”, says an insider.
“Jennifer, Courteney and the rest of the cast are keen to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances,” said a source.
“The box office success of Sex And The City has really got their wheels spinning about how a Friends film could be just as big, if done right.”
However, it has also been suggested that Jennifer Aniston was initially not as keen as other cast members to return, but the source noted the “huge payday” may have changed her mind.

Matthew Perry, 38, is set to play the older version of Zac Efron, 20, in the movie ‘17′. The teen comedy will begin shooting next month. The script reads that Perry wakes up one morning to find himself 17 years old again (Efron) – & enrolled in high school with his own children.
Does anyone think they actually look alike? Who could they have gotten with more resmeblances?

For such a pretty girl (that sounded like something my mom would say) she sure has bad taste in clothes. One thing I noticed is they always look ill-fitting.
Anyways, they are promoting their new NBC show “Studio 60″.

Behind every great comedy, there’s drama.
Aaron Sorkin takes us behind the scenes of a fictional late-night sketch comedy series. Lately, “funny” has been in short supply at Studio 60. The executive producer just had a meltdown – on live TV. The control room is out of control. The actors are acting up. And that’s just last Friday’s show! Studio 60’s only hope lies with two wunderkind writers (Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford) with troubles of their own, and the headstrong new network president (Amanda Peet) determined to turn things around.
