Friends Matt: We’re too old for a reunion

- BY JANINE YACOOB

Star Matt Leblanc MATT Leblanc says he’ll never do a Friends reunion – because no-one wants to see an old Joey Tribbiani.

He played the struggling actor in the US sitcom for 10 years from 1994 – a role that made him a superstar.

But Matt, 50, reveals: “I don’t want to do it – simple. Put bluntly, I don’t think anybody wants to see an old Joey having a colonoscop­y.

“We were a lot younger then and I think that’s how the characters should stay.

“Normally I’d never say never. But in the case of Friends I’d say definitely never.”

Matt – host of BBC’S Top Gear since 2016 – is back for a final series of comedy Episodes this week.

He admits: “I thought it’d be time to slow down at 50 but I’m busier than ever.” Frodo and Bilbo
