The “Friends” star, 53, revealed he was hoping to once again work with Zac Efron, but it may not be in the cards.that he wrote a script for a new rom-com with himself as the star, but had his eye on Efron for the lead.“I have a small part in it. I wrote it for myself and then realized I’m 20 years too old to play this. So we’re trying to cast the leads now.”“He said no, so we’ve got to find someone who says yes,” Perry said.
Perry and the “High School Musical” alum, 35, starred in the 2009 comedy “17 Again,” in which Efron played Perry’s older character Mike O’Donnell as a teenager.
