TOW Johnny Makes Friends (London)
--> Matt LeBlanc:
JOHNNY: Matt, you work with 3 gorgeous women.
MATT: Yeah.
JOHNNY: Yeah, how do you keep it professional?
MATT: Uh, well, they won't give it up, so I don't really have a choice.
JOHNNY: Why is it that you always seem to end up naked on the show?
There's a few times you end up, y'know.
MATT: Yeah, I dunno what the deal is with that. I've been trying to
figure that one out myself. I guess I'm the only one who's willing to
do it.
JOHNNY: Yeah, where would you draw the line?
MATT: Right at my waist.
JOHNNY: Do you have trouble actually keeping a straight face? I've seen
you work with Matthew, there, and you obviously both find each other
funny, but when you're actually doing a scene and you sort of catch
each other's eye and the reality can't help but slip through that you're
two actors. Do you ever start laughing?
MATT: Yeah, sometimes. It's so hard, we'll blow like eight, ten takes
in a row, you just can't stop laughing. The hard thing is we know when
one of us is gonna break, so if one of us starts laughing, the other
one'll start laughing really hard.
JOHNNY: Yeah.
MATT: And it just sorta snowballs and it's really tough to get back.
JOHNNY: Who comes up with expressions like you 'going commando under
your fatigues'? The expression, say, 'going commando' is that Friendism
or an Americanism? Where does that originate from?
MATT: Friendism being something that's come from the writers?
JOHNNY: Yeah.
MATT: The writers wrote that. That came out the first day, I love that.
JOHNNY: I love that, funny.
MATT: It's so funny.
JOHNNY: But it sounds so right, when you do it it really sounds like
it's part of everyday America, like it's a known expression, but it's
not, it's just Friends world.
MATT: Well that's the great thing about our writing staff, it's all
young people who are so hip and in tune with coming up with things like
that.
JOHNNY: Yeah. Who makes you laugh more, Matthew or the duck?
MATT: Hmm, tough, yeah. Uh, Probably Matty I would say.
JOHNNY: But grudgingly.
MATT: Yeah, 'cause he'll watch this, but really it's the duck.
JOHNNY: How hard is it for you to play a bad actor?
MATT: It's easy!
JOHNNY: I've seen you teach a class and everything. I've seen you teaching,
you do it, don't you?
MATT: Yeah, that was funny. I had a good time playing that one. What
was it, if I have to cry I just cut a hole in my pocket, get a pair
of tweezers and just start pulling.
JOHNNY: I know you're a big fan of DIY. In real life, you love DIY.
(Matthew Perry comes and powders white stuff all over Matt's face).
JOHNNY: He's done him up a treat. And that is exactly the sort of incident
you don't need. Here's some Ronsil, it's a clear varnish, yeah. It's
tough. (hands him tin)
MATT: Okay, I don't get it.
JOHNNY: It's good. (Matt gets up and starts to walk away).
MATT: Matty!
JOHNNY: Uh oh, revenge for the Matthew Perry powder attack! This could
be some Matt on Matt violence. (the Matts smile) Ohh- still friends.
