"Friends" star Matthew Perry says he once accidentally flashed beach partygoers after being swept off his feet by a wave.
The 45-year-old actor said on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden' that he was walking along the sand when a surprise wave took him off from his feet, reported Female First.
"Well, I was walking along the beach one day and I saw a party was happening over the beach, like one of those beach houses and it had a big patio and a big party was happening.
"And I was walking underneath the party and a wave came and sort of swept me ashore and swept me off my feet and just threw me into the beach underneath this party and I was given about 15 seconds to compose myself, to get myself together, before wave number two came. And I didn't get it done in time and the wave again hit me directly into the shore and by this time, the party has totally stopped and everybody's just staring at me," he said.
The actor's shorts came off, leaving him naked. "So I decided for wave number three - I've seen people do this in movies - I was going to dive under the wave and I went to dive under and I mistimed it and my shorts came off. I was naked."
The embarrassing event happened during the actor's 10-year stint as Chandler Bing on the popular TV series and he admitted it has since made him less of a "beach guy".
"This is right bang in the middle of Friends, 'Why is naked Chandler in front of our house?' There was no part of it I enjoyed...
"I'm an alright traveller; I don't really travel that often. I'm not a beach guy. I've had some bad experiences," he said.
