Zac Efron possesses all the qualities necessary to portray Matthew Perry in a potential biopic about the late actor's life. With a filmography filled with comedies and a few serious roles, Efron has exhibited his versatility as an actor. His striking resemblance to Perry, coupled with his impeccable comedic timing, would make him the ideal choice to bring the beloved Friends actor to life on the big screen.

Tragically, Matthew Perry passed away at the age of 54 in late October. Perry had expressed his desire to be remembered for more than just his iconic sitcom role, Friends. In his bestselling memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir," Perry chronicled his struggles with addiction and his efforts to help others battling similar issues.

He also expressed his desire for a biopic based on his memoir, though no plans for such an adaptation have been revealed.

It was during the filming of the 2009 comedy "17 Again" that Perry shared his dream of having Zac Efron play him in a biopic. This suggestion turned out to be a brilliant idea, as Efron demonstrated his ability to embody Perry's character during their collaboration on the movie. In "17 Again," both actors portrayed Mike O'Donnell, with Perry as the adult version and Efron as the teenage incarnation.

As the story progresses, the older Mike magically becomes young again and relives the high school experience. Efron diligently studied Friends and sought advice from Perry himself to ensure he accurately portrayed the character. Efron's enthusiasm for the possibility of portraying Perry in a biopic is evident. During the red carpet premiere of his upcoming film, "The Iron Claw," Efron expressed his gratitude at being considered for the role.
