Could he BE anymore dapper? Matthew Perry looks poles apart from his former scruffy appearance as he scrubs up to film TV series The Kennedys 

He surprised fans when he was pictured looking tired and dishevelled earlier this year.

But Matthew Perry appeared the picture of health and happiness while filming new TV miniseries The Kennedys After Camelot in Toronto, Canada on Monday.

The 46-year-old actor, who is playing Ted Kennedy in the programme, was reminiscent of his days as Chandler Bing in Friends, looking dapper in a cream polo shirt with a bright blue collar.

Freshly-shaved Matthew sported a deep tan and wore his hair combed back as he filmed scenes alongside his glamorous co-star Katie Holmes.

Matthew sparked concern due to his changed appearance during his stay in London several weeks ago.

He spent several months in the capital working on his play The End Of Longing, a dark comedy written by and starring the actor at the Playhouse Theatre.

The popular star is best known for playing Friends joker Chandler - renowned for his sarcastic comments and less that lucky love life.

Opposite Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston, Friends became one of the most successful sitcoms of all time in its run from 1994 to 2004.

Despite the triumph of his working life, Matthew battled drug and alcohol addiction, entering rehab during his stint on Friends and suffering drastic weight loss and gain - all visible in the show. 

Meanwhile, Katie has been slipping into different period costumes to make herself resemble Jacqueline Kennedy.

But on Sunday the 37-year-old actress gave on-lookers a little more than they bargained for as she suffered a wardrobe malfunction during filming. 

The star was shooting a scene alongside Matthew and revealed the top of her pantyhose as she crouched down. 

Only just covering her dignity, the star's mini-dress rode up flashed a lot of derriere. 

Katie looked especially like the American icon as she wore a belted, white double-breasted coat with black-and-gold buttons while shooting in a park. 

So Jackie O! Katie Holmes was a dead ringer for Jacqueline Kennedy as she shot scenes for the new TV miniseries

Matthew puffed on a cigarette in character as Ted Kennedy. His hair was parted to the side as he portrayed the senator, who was the younger brother of JFK. 

Also on set was actor Alexander Siddig, 50, who is playing the part of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Like a gentleman, he pretended not to notice Katie's indiscretion.

Kennedy and Onassis were wed from 1968 until 1975. So this scene shot in a park must have taken place within those years. 

Holmes was wearing a brown wig to resemble the late wife of President Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963 while in office.

The ex-wife of Tom Cruise added a vintage brown and white Gucci hobo purse to her look and white chunky heels that were fashionable in the late 1960s.

The mother-of-one also wore heavy eye makeup and bushy eyebrows, and could have had on some prosthetic work done to look more like the former First Lady.

Onassis looked nicely dapper in a double-breasted grey suit with a gold tie and white shirt. The Greek superstar had a flair for dressing well in expensive clothes.

Siddig, a Sudanese-British actor, also had on Ari's signature oversized glasses.

Alexander has also starred in Game Of Thrones and Atlantis. He studied theater in England after arriving from Sudan as a child.

On October 20, 1968, Kennedy married Onassis, who she had been friends with for many years.

It was suggested she fell for the multi-millionaire because he could provide the privacy and security she sought for herself and her children after Kennedy had been shot dead.

The wedding took place on Skorpios, Onassis's private Greek island. The union brought her bad publicity and there was even a discussion if she should be excommunicated by the Roman Catholic church.

Role reprisal: Katie played Jackie in the 2011 miniseries The Kennedys

Instead of moving to Greece for Onassis, she spent a lot of time in New York City as well as her apartment in Paris. 

Onassis' health began deteriorating rapidly following the death of his son Alexander in a plane crash in 1973. He died of respiratory failure at age 69 in Paris in 1975. 

The Kennedys After Camelot also stars Friends vet Matthew Perry as Ted Kennedy and Erin Agostino as Christina Onassis, Aristotle's daughter from his first marriage.

The series, which will debut in 2017, portrays the life of the former First Lady of the United States, Jacqueline, in the aftermath of the assassination of her husband as she becomes Jackie O.
