What else does he have to do?!

Matthew Perry turned down a chance to snuggle up to his former Friends costar Courteney Cox on her new series Cougar Town!

"I did ask Matthew if he'd play my boyfriend on the show. He thought it was a little much after Chandler and Monica," said Cox.

We're sure he'd hate to break up his day swimming around in his residual $$$$$ - a la Scrooge McDuck!

Do U wanna see Matt back on TV?!

      i miss Friends :-(



    2. 2

      yes!! he is very funny, and i love chandler and monica! whats the problem with that?!?!



    3. 3

      He didn't want to get typecast obviously. Maybe he's looking for other opportunities. And Mario… what have have YOU done lately? Nothing? Okay just checking…



    4. 4

      I can understand why he wouldn't go on the show to play her BF. That would be stupid because all everyone would see was Mondler. He should come on the show as some other character.



    5. 5

      When you turn down a job, at least we know that means hes not hurting for money…..and yeah, no one wants to see these two together like that again i dont think….



    6. 6

      Matthew Perry is a really underrated actor. hes made some shitty choices in movie roles but he makes me laugh. i do wish he was on tv more.



    7. 7

      She wishes 'Friends' was still running.



    8. 8

      yes!! chandler was always my favorite friend! love him!



    9. 9

      Absolutely. I want to see him do more roles like the one he played on West Wing. He can do a lot more than Chandler.



    10. 10

      I think they would be beyond Epic !



    11. 11

      …bring him back but give him time to lose the bloated face from too much boozing!



    12. 12

      FGS!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!



    13. 13

      Ive seen her new show and Ive got to say, she is possibly one of the most annyoing, worst actresses ever…right up there with K-Stew, and Asslee.



    14. 14

      In fairness to him, I can definitely see why he would not want to do that. That would be a little strange, and a bit too much of an extension of Friends.



    15. 15

      I miss Friends too. :( I love Matthew Perry!!!!!!!



    16. 16

      I kind of have to agree with him, it would have been a bit much if he played her boyfriend… I love Courteny Cox though!!!



    17. 17

      Yes, on Cougar Town.



    18. 18

      I would LOVE to see matt on TV again but not as her BF!



    19. 19

      Matt should be a guest star but he's right play the role of her boyfriend might not be a good idea !



    20. 20

      Yes!



    21. 21

      Chanandler Bong. One of the best episodes…



    22. 22

      I really don't playing her bf on a couple of shows would make a difference either way in his career. He obviously doesn't need the money, but when was the last time he did anything? As a "friend", he should do it.



    23. 23

      what the hell is wrong with him??!! they need to bring back friends now. but then again, why work when you have twenty or thirty million in the bank and it still roles in from syndication and dvd sales. lets not forget they got a million each for the last two seasons. would any of us go back to work after that, plus be getting loads of media attention. it has been so long since friends that they probably dont get noticed as much, and would like to keep it that way



    24. 24

      Aw, nonono. Be her boyfriend! :[
      I love the Friends cast. :)

      i would have loved that! wish he said yes

      Matthew Perry has a show in production for ABC, which is why he is not going to be on Cougar Town. No big drama or snub - he's simply busy with his own show. So stay tuned…. Matthew Perry will be back for your viewing pleasure very, very soon! As per EW.com on 10/26: "Matthew Perry has signed a deal with the network that airs Courteney Cox’s Cougar Town to star in, executive produce, and co-write a potential comedy series about a self-consumed 40-year-old manager of a second-rate sports arena who’s reluctantly learning to be a nicer guy."



    28. 28

      How arrogant and self-righteous! And to think he used to be my favorite character on friends!!!??? Now I totally replace him with Matt LeBlanc as Joey!!



    29. 29

      i love mattew perry!! i miss friends too!!



    30. 30

      YES, PLEASE!!! I ***LOVE*** Matthew Perry and he needs to be on TV again asap!!! Do it, Matthew!!



    31. 31

      He just doesn't want to go back to being Chandler again he wants to do different roles. Matthew also is working on a new show so he probably doesn't have time.



    32. 32

      OMG bring back Chandler and Monica that would be FAB



    33. 33

      YES I LOVE HIM



    34. 34

      Hells YES!!
      I



    35. 35

      YES I WANT TO SEE HIM ON THERE!!!!!!!



    36. 36

      I agree with his decision not to do a love-interest role with Cox . Another part, sure. Funny funny show!



    37. 37

      They should do a Friends reunion.



    38. 38

      Re: bubble gum – God I know..It would be really neat to go back to Friends to see what they have been doing..There are so many things they could do with it..it would be nice to see a movie and hopefully they would all get on board for it.



    39. 39

      I love Matthew Perry. I've missed him since the shutdown of Studio 60. So much so, that I watch the reruns on Lulu. Come back, Matt.



    40. 40

      Friends was the best show, EVER!!! I can see why he doesn't want to do the Chandler/Monica type show again. I thought that she was supposed to be a cougar. He's too old to play her boy-toy. Still love him though.



    41. 41

      Oh he shouldn't of done that…he needs a profile again! Being in 17 Again did nothing for him as it was too unbelieveable that he was an older version of Zak Effron
