Don’t point fingers at Matthew Perry – at least not until after his manicure.

A tabloid article highlighted Perry’s scruffy look Thursday, and included photos of the "Friends" actor walking through New York City in sweats and a T-shirt. The story labeled him as "disheveled" in the headline.

The article’s biggest gripe? Perry’s fingernails.

Rather than sound off against the tabloid, the Daily Mail, the 49-year-old actor responded in a style appropriate for a seasoned sitcom star – with a snappy one-liner.

The article included photos showing close-ups of Perry's hands.

“I’m getting a manicure this morning,” he wrote on Twitter. “That’s okay right? I mean it says man right in the word.”

Perry may have long fingernails, but he still can clap back.

Back in September, Perry opened up to fans on Twitter by revealing he spent three months in the hospital. The revelation came a month after his rep confirmed to People and E! News that he was recovering from surgery to repair a gastrointestinal perforation.

"Three months in a hospital bed," he wrote. "Check."

Perry has been open about his health struggles, including his addiction issues he battled while filming "Friends."
