Perry displayed a thick covering of stubble along with slightly disheveled locks to top of his off-duty look.  

The Friends alum plays endearing slob Oscar on a reprisal of the classic 1970s television show The Odd Couple.

He stars opposite Thomas Lennon who plays uptight neat freak Felix his college buddy who becomes his roommate after the demise of their respective marriages.

He spoke to KMTV this week about why he enjoys his current role so much.

'I love playing Oscar 'cus it's really easy and he's kinda grumpy, I'm kinda grumpy, and you don't have to shave - you spend very little time in hair and makeup.' he said in his typically deadpan manner.

'You wear ridiculous clothes and you just eat and throw food on the ground.' he joked.

Earlier this month Perry appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show and chatted about his recently exposed Batcave, filled with Batman memorabilia, which - to Kimmel's intrigue - he has only been collecting for three or four years.

Keeping it unkempt: The actor admitted in an interview this week that he loves playing Oscar because it's so easy and he doesn't have to shave

'I really like the Christian Bale version, really got into that,' he explained.

'I'm an insomniac, so in the middle of the night I just go on eBay and buy all this Batman stuff and just throw it in a room.

He added: 'But I want to point out: It's not dorky. It's actually a cool Batman Room. It's sexy.

However he said that if he ever lived with a woman, the room 'would be gone'. He said.
