Matthew Perry's 10 Essentials | GQ

thank you you could have just handed it to me hey GQ I'm Matthew Perry and these are my essentials this is my Batman hat I wear this you know because I am Batman and uh it's pretty cool and I like to watch the movie Batman while wearing this but just this my love for Batman um started really with the Chris Nolan movies at Christian Bale being Batman I thought that was really cool Mike Heaton played him and he's probably my favorite actor and this newest one the Batman is really really good too so he's kind of a loner he's rich um he solves crime I also solve crime um so I can relate to Batman very much also you know you're always able to relate to Somebody That You Are [Music] this is probably my favorite thing that I have so bad man watch when I got it I was in Hong Kong No One understood what I was saying so I had to find it all by myself in a three level mall and I did find it but that was one of the times that I was like I'm I'm famous somebody help me but I found it and it's here and it's gorgeous and it tells time which I think is good okay these are keys to my car which is National Martin which I was able to buy because I was on Friends I drive this if I have to go somewhere I'm not really a car guy but I do like my car which is an Aston Martin convertible and it looks like the Batmobile so I drive it around to pretend that I am Batman [Music] this is one of my favorite things I have an iPad and a keyboard so they're sort of attached but then you can separate them I don't know how to separate them there we go so there's that uh I'm going to close it because you never know what's going to pop up I wrote a screenplay on this I wrote a book on this and uh I should try to keep it to that you know writing it's it's more elegant than the other things you can do with it the book is called friends lovers and the big terrible thing and it is about kind of my rise to fame while battling this horrible disease that I have so um it's very serious it was pretty easy to write it kind of fell off fell onto the page but then when I had to read it it was much much harder and much more sad because my life has been a difficult one and I was honest in the book about that and when I read it I thought to myself man what a hard life this guy's gone through and then I realized it's me that I'm talking about you know it gets dark so bring you know a flashlight with you foreign [Music] in my office which is my favorite place in my new house I have a um that computer that I showed you and I use that iPad to I used it to write down the everything about the screenplay and the book and it was just really easy to write the screenplay and I was sitting in a in a a real office chair but it it was a Batman real office chair and as the Batman insignias now it's gone way too much I'm realizing today that I have too much Batman stuff so I'm going to get Wonder Woman stuff and walk around town [Music] this is my favorite hair gel this particular product was introduced to me during a photo shoot where uh they changed my hair all together it was a cover shoot and they changed they cut my hair differently and I stuck with this because it was familiar but it was a scary day because they gave me like this crazy hairstyle and it was a cover sheet so you can see here I use it a lot because there's not much left but you only need a little bit so this will last me like a month but it's you know it's sort of half waxed and half gel also I am that way [Music] foreign [Music] thing we have these are Batman sweats and I will uh sleep in them occasionally and uh they really say Batman on them so yeah there's no personality complex or anything because all I have to do is look at my left eye and I know who I am okay so at my home I have a Batman room that is either called the mat cave or bat cave and it's just filled with all my Batman stuff it's not really special mementos or anything but I have Batman statues and Batman like it's a very full room because people finally figured out what they should get me for my birthday or for Christmas okay this is a black uh t-shirt I'm not really a big fashion guy but like I like this shirt it's a very simple black T-shirt works with everything fits in with my car so um I can drive around and kind of camouflage myself with a black T-shirt and a black line so it looks like nobody's driving um so James purse is probably my favorite I even have a James Perez ping pong table I'm pretty good at ping pong all racket Sports I kind of excel at because I played all the time as a kid so I played for like 10 hours a day so I like I like my ping pong table I'm better at that than I am at pool yes at one point I was a nationally ranked tennis player boys under 14. I was 17th in the country in Canada you know the tennis is much better in La so when I came to La I was killed by everybody and had to decide for a different career path you said [Music] okay this is pretty dressy for me but these are my black boots so if I I usually wear running shoes and Converse and stuff like that but if I want to you know dress up I I bring these um this is the left one and this is the right one well I thought these just looked really cool and they go with a lot of stuff that I own and again when I want to be dressy I put these on yeah these are sunglasses [Music] I like the uh the fact that they shaved the Sun and I kind of like that they're they have a little John Lennon feeling to them because they're around so I think they're cool sometimes if I don't want to be seen I'll wear that Happy song and these glasses but also sometimes that just screams that you're famous so I try not to wear that combo a lot but sometimes I do foreign thank you GQ for having me it's a pleasure showing you my essentials and you know by seeing them you should probably know by now that I'm Batman [Music]
