Time to rewatch 17 Again and bawl my eyes out.
Shortly after his death, it was revealed that Matthew Perry spent his final days brainstorming a movie about his life, which he wanted Zac Efron to star in. Efron previously played a younger version of Perry’s character in the 2009 comedy 17 Again, so he’s a perfect casting choice. And when Efron recently found out about Perry’s wish to reunite with him, the actor was honored, and said he’d totally be down to play Perry if a biopic ever does get made.
In the wake of Perry’s death on Oct. 28, his friend Athenna Crosby, who was one of the last people to ever speak to him, revealed to Entertainment Tonight that he was planning to adapt his recent memoir into a film about his struggles throughout the years.
