"Friends" star Matthew Perry is attending his first Sundance Film Festival to plug his starring role in "Birds of America," Craig Lucas' comedy about an emotionally shuttered man trying to help out his irresponsible younger siblings. So what does he think of Sundance so far?
"I really couldn't tell you. I haven't had a chance to do any Sundancy things," Perry told the Salt Lake Tribune in a Monday afternoon interview beside the Park City Marriott's indoor pool. "It's beautiful [in Park City]. Not necessarily right in here," he added, motioning to the chlorine-scented atrium.
Perry spent Sunday in Park City watching the NFL playoffs and most of Monday doing media interviews. He said he'll miss Thursday's "Birds of America" premiere because he's returning to L.A. to shoot "Seventeen," a comedy in which he plays a thirtysomething man who, disappointed with his life, goes back in time to correct his high-school mistakes.
"I turn into [Zac Ephron]," said Perry of his "Seventeen" co-star. "It's like 'Big' [in reverse]."
