Matt LeBlanc Has ‘Friends’ Co-Stars Concerned
Matt LeBlanc’s co-stars from Friends have shown concern after photos of the actor have surfaced with him looking exhausted. Some suspect the loss of LeBlanc’s friend and co-star Matthew Perry has made him more reclusive. In a statement, a source assured LeBlanc his co-stars are still there for him.
Photos Showed LeBlanc Car Shopping With His Daughter
On the famous NBC sitcom, LeBlanc played the character of Joey Tribbiani. LeBlanc’s character was a struggling actor in New York City and often served as the show’s comic relief. The character also notably received his own self-titled spin-off, Joey, which ran for two seasons.
Outside of his Friends role, LeBlanc is also known for the sitcom Man with a Plan. Beforehand, he was also known for his recurring role of Vinnie Verducci on Married… with Children. LeBlanc also reprised the character in two spin-offs, Top of the Heap and Vinnie & Bobby.
Over the years, LeBlanc has been known to keep a low profile on social media. However, photos were recently taken of the actor after he was seen car shopping with his daughter, as noted by Daily Mail. After the photos surfaced online, some commenters claimed LeBlanc looked disheveled or unrecognizable.
In a statement with In Touch Weekly, a source claimed that recent photos of the actor have worried LeBlanc’s former co-stars. The source said that, “Nobody’s body shaming Matt or accusing him of anything untoward lifestyle, that’s not what’s going on here.”
“What’s concerning though, for Jen [Aniston] and all the Central Perk crew, is that he’s such a recluse these days and they barely hear from him from one month to the next.”

The Source Assured The Actor Still Has His ‘Friends’
There is some speculation that LeBlanc’s reclusiveness is a response to the death of his Friends co-star Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing. The two were known to have remained friends after the end of the series, with the cast generally being known for staying in touch. Notably, the recent photos of LeBlanc were the first time the actor had been pictured in months.
LeBlanc was also notably the first castmate to pay tribute to the late Perry. In a post on Instagram, the actor wrote that, “It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life.” He also referred to working with Perry as an “honor.”
As the source noted, “He used to be such an upbeat, happy guy but now it’s as though he doesn’t feel worthy to be in their company somehow.”
“Clearly his self esteem’s taken a knock.” The source also commented on how LeBlanc looked “physically.”
The source also commented that LeBlanc’s Friends co-stars are there for him. As noted, “Jen, Courteney [Cox], Lisa [Kudrow] and David [Schwimmer] all want to get him back in the fold and get him smiling again. The recent tragedy has taught them all how short and precious life truly is.”
