On Friends the guys used to have their doubts about Chandler and now in Matthew Perry’s new flick Three To Tango, everybody thinks his character is gay too. We grabbed the man himself to find out a few things.

Is there something we should know, Matt?
I’m obviously comfortable with my feminine side! I didn’t have any reservations playing a gay guy as it was kind of a neat idea to me. I’m able to drop all the crappy male stuff of trying to impress the girl and get her into bed, because she thinks I’m gay.

Is there anyone special in your life now?
An actress called Renee Ashton and we’ve been an item for coming up to seven months. I was introduced to her through an old friend about four years ago and we kinda hooked up. And yes, she does laugh at my jokes.

How do you feel when you hear that people think you’re gay?
Well, I know it’s a pack of lies. I think it began when we shot that episode of Friends where Joey thinks I’m gay. Three To Tango was kinda of a movie version. Like there was this scene where I’m standing up on the bus and everyone thinks my character is gay. And this guy is checking out my butt. You find out what a hot girl must feel like all the time and how annoying it is to feel like a piece of meat.

Let’s face it, Chandler & Joey are basically Bert & Ernie…
They are. We changed it up this year, because I’m moving in with Monica, which will be interesting, and Elle McPherson is moving in with Joey. We taped that first episode last night. It’s going to be a fun storyline.

So does Joey get to kiss Elle?
I honestly don’t know yet. And if I did, do you think I’d tell you?

Tell us more about Three To Tango…
No, I’d like some more probing questions about my personal life, please! OK… I play a budding architech, Oscar Novak, who is bidding on a multi-million dollar restoration contract. My boss istakingly believes I’m gay and asks me as a favour to keep tabs on his mistress, Amy, played by the delicious Neve Campbell. Of course I’m not gay, but I fall for Amy in a huge way, who indeed believes I’m gay. All will be revealed…

What are the similarites between Oscar Novak and Chandler Bing?
Well, they both look a lot like me! The hair is different. Did you hate that do?

Yes!!!
Geez, thanks! When Neve and I did a camera test, we realised that we had the exact same hair colour. So, one of us had to make a change and I decided to do it to make me a little less like Chandler. I have to agree there were a couple of Ronald McDonald-esque days.
