Zach Braff, 50, is still single, and his Scrubs best pal Donald Faison, 51, is not okay with it.

In a new joint interview, Faison made sure to mention that his pal his single in an attempt to set him up.

"This is a single man who is very, very handsome," he said in an interview with People. "To which Braff quickly interjects, 'How is this relevant to our interview at all?'"

But Faison ignored his interjection and continued, "Someone out there is going to see this [issue] and be like, ‘What a handsome young man this is!’ "

Braff remarked, "You’re like an old Jewish grandmother right now!"

While on the topic, the French Girl actor reflected on what he likes in a woman.

"I mean obviously there’s the initial ‘Am I attracted to this person?’ But then I’m so aware that for me now it’s being funny and laughing with the person. To me that’s the sexiest thing. Beyond the initial ‘Oh you’re cute,' is ‘Do we laugh?’ "

Elsewhere, The Exes star called out Braff’s lack of interest in his kids, who are his godchildren.

Faison, who’s dad to kids Wilder Frances, 4, sons Rocco, 6, and Kobe, 17, twins Dade and Kaya, 20, and son Sean, 23, noted that Braff doesn’t see them that often.

"I don’t see them much, they’re very busy," admitted Braff. "Let’s keep it 100," Faison interjected. "He’s not the biggest kid person on the planet."

"That’s not true, I like kids!" Braff retorted. Faison fired back, "When they’re quiet."

“Well, they don’t need to be making all that ruckus," Braff remarked with a laugh, before adding, "No, I like kids."

Zach Braff and Donald Faison are returning with a Scrubs reboot, which will debut on February 25.
