"MATTHEW PERRY...JAMES BOND?"

Jan, 4, 2001

Will Matthew Perry play the next JAMES BOND?? Find it out in this interview made by ET

ET: What a way to spend your holiday break. You don't have one!

Matthew: I don't have a break. No, I'm in Harlem, but with Elizabeth Hurley so it's not all bad.

ET: Tell us the title of the movie.

Matthew: 'Servicing Sara.' I have to service Elizabeth Hurley and they're paying me to do it, so it's quite an easy gig.

Matthew: I'm a process server. I serve subpoenas, but who knows what'sgoing to happen by the end of the movie! I'm trying as hard as I can to get some love scenes put in the picture but Elizabeth, actually Elizabeth's really been trying hard to get some love scenes, and we'll see what happens.

ET: And we should point out we're actually in Harlem.

Matthew: We're in Harlem. We're in a nail place in Harlem, that's where we are. I've just been beaten up by thugs and I'm servicing Elizabeth Hurley.

ET: What could be ...

Matthew: What could be better?

ET: So what is this about?

Matthew: This is a story about a down-and-out guy. He's really down on his luck and he has to service a subpoena to Elizabeth Hurley, it's kind of a "Midnight Run-ish" kind of road picture except instead of CHARLES GRODIN I get Elizabeth Hurley.

ET: That is so cool.

Matthew: There you go. She's really funny. Who knew that she was funny? Beautiful and funny, it's like three girls I know on some TV show.

ET: How was shooting in New York City?

Matthew: It's freezing cold. It's freezing, freezing, freezing cold. I'd much rather play, you know, Chandler on "Friends" than run through the streets of New York in the middle of winter but what the hell, they're paying me!

ET: One last thing.

Matthew: No, no that's it. Okay. What else?

ET: We're hearing you're going to be the next "James Bond." Is that true? Honestly, this is the report....

Matthew: The report is that I'm the next James Bond? Really? Don't you have to have a British accent to be the next James Bond? (with accent) I could possibly be James Bond. I don't know (loses accent). Is that really a rumor?

ET: Honestly, this is what is coming out.

Matthew: Come talk to me. We'll see. Maybe when I'm finished with this.

ET: Wouldn't that be fun?

Matthew: Yeah, interesting.

ET: Shaken not stirred.

Matthew: Yeah. The new Bond. Interesting.
