Matthew Perry on finding out that Zac Efron will be playing his younger self on "17 Again"

• Ellen: Number 1 movie! That's exciting. . With Zac Efron
• Matt: Yah. As you found out earlier, I play a guy who falls into some weird void that you saw in the clip - and then I turn into Zac Efron. So. . I play the Zac Efron of the future.
• Ellen: Uh-huh.
• Matt. So. .
• Ellen: . . how do you feel about that?
• Matt: Well it, well. . when i first met him, I was like "Look. I'll be back. I'm just going to go to the gym for 3 years. But then I decided to just go the other way, so I went straight up to him and told him, "Take a good look man. . twenty years, this what you're going to look like"
