OnlyOnAOL: How to shoot a nude scene with Matthew Perry

By: Donna Freydkin

On the CBS comedy "The Odd Couple," Matthew Perry is an unrepentant slob, and Thomas Lennon a fussy neatnick. It's an updated version of the story first penned by Neil Simon that premiered on Broadway in 1965.

The guys sat down to talk about the new season of the series, and what to expect. One thing fans can count on: more skin. A lot more skin. Really. Serious. Skin.

"I get to have a nude scene, which was a lot of fun," says Lennon.

They're not kidding, this time.

"Yes, he had a top-hat covering his private parts," says Perry.

But he quickly points out that "I myself have never been naked in a film."

The two are quite a bit like their characters.

"I have a dust mite allergy. I like to do yoga," says Lennon.

As for Perry, "I'm a little grumpy. You're a little itchy. I don't shave. My character doesn't shave. That's really easy."

Across the pond, Perry is starring in the bittersweet comedy "The End of Longing."

"I co-wrote the pilot of the 'Odd Couple.' I wanted to see if I could write something on my own and this is what came out," he says of the play.

Here's a look back at his career-making show, "Friends."
