Matt LeBlanc Caught in Foul-Mouthed 'Friends' Rant

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 23rd 2010 08:00AM

Matt LeBlanc is not joking around when he says he wants to put his 'Friends' past behind him. On Tuesday evening, a UK Mirror reporter called him Joey, the character he played on the hit TV series, and LeBlanc went crazy.

The incident started when the 43-year-old actor clumsily knocked into the reporter's table, sending glasses flying. "You all right, Joey? How YOU do-in?" the reporter joked. But LeBlanc wasn't laughing and allegedly raged, "I'm not Joey. Don't you dare call me Joey. The papers say I'm finished, so don't call me f**king Joey. I want to leave that all behind. I'm moving on."

And he didn't stop there. "I'm not Joey. For the last time. I'm not f**king Joey. It's Matt. Matt LeBlanc. Joey's in the past. I'm trying to do something new," he yelled.

In a recent interview, LeBlanc insisted he didn't mind still being linked with his famous 'Friends' alter-ego, saying, "If people really believe me as that character, I have done my job. I don't look on it as a negative thing. I take it as a compliment."

And don't touch none of his stuff neither.

I don't blame Matt one bit. I wouldn't want anything to do with that show any more either. I think Jennifer Aniston and her publicist took way too much credit for the show. I loved the other characters better than Aniston.
I get the feeling the others feel the same way and want nothing to do with Jennifer Aniston. Cox is just stuck with Aniston ridding her back.

Cox cannot act so how can she carry anyone?

By MB

I think they brought Jennifer Aniston on to help Courtney Cox not vice versa...

By Pam

Your last line was funny. "Cox is just stuck with Aniston riding her back?" HYSTERCAL! LMFAO!!!!!

By Tom O'Mara

YOU ARE RIGHT, LOOK AT ALL THE FLOPS ANISTON HAS HAD, IT WAS THE CHARACTERS THAT MADE UP THE SHOW, IT WAS THE CAST THAT MADE THE STORY, SHE IS HIGHLY OVERATED.

By Ann

Matt look very sexy! I would love to see him in a drama.
I'm on the side that JA took too much glory for that show to.
The rest of the cast was awesome. LeBlanc should
be upset about that but I think it's because he wants to rely
on his own identity these days not the name of Joey.

By Mandy

"Trying to do something new..." which would be what exactly? Oh right, you had that TV show after Friends, and I forget, what was it called again? Oh that's right.... JOEY! That is the only thing he has done since Friends and even that wasn't exactly successful. He made millions off of being Joey for 10 years, live with it.

Yeah, people would be knocking down his door with offers if it weren't for that darn Friends thing...

By Andrea

you people can make a headline out of anything. Someone has 1 off minute and it turns into a reporter induced story. Matt is HOT looking and Matt is a great actor. Let him alone.

By kay

You got that right Andrea - got that George Clooney thing going on!

By JR

You're so right, he really does have that George Clooney thing happening, but nobody is better looking than George Clooney. I do think Matt LeBlanc is incredibly ingrateful. If not for Friends nobody would even know his name. In his defense I don't think I'd like to be called the name of a character I haven't played in years either. However, to react in such a way is totally uncalled for. That name is the name that made him famous and he should be flattered that people still remember.

He looks old and bloated. Happens to the best of us.
