Matthew Perry not in favour of 'Friends' reunion
Perry said he's worried no one will care about a 'Friends' reunion
Fans all over the world have been waiting anxiously for a remake of “Friends”, a TV serial that revolves around the lives of 6 young adults living in Central Park. But actor Matthew Perry thinks otherwise.
In an interview lead actor Matthew Perry, who played the role of character Chandler Bing in the popular sitcom, brushed aside any possibility of such an reunion. He said that even if there were to be a remake, he for one, would not take part in it.
Perry believes that the show ended on a high and remaking it would only entail the risk of it getting mediocre. “I have this recurring nightmare – I’m not kidding about this. When I’m asleep, I have this nightmare that we do ‘Friends’ again and nobody cares,” he told Variety in a recent interview. “We do a whole series, we come back, and nobody cares about it. So if anybody asks me, I’m gonna say ‘no. The thing is: We ended on such a high. We can’t beat it. Why would we go and do it again?”
The 41-year-old also said that he is ready to give up the character of Chandler Bing and “move on”. “People still see me as Chandler, the goofy, sarcastic guy, and this is not that. I don’t think that anybody’s out there thinking, ‘I’ll write this for Perry,’ other than me,” Perry revealed. In the second half of my life, I don’t want to do your standard sitcom television. I want to do edgier, darker, dramatic stuff.”
