Whatever you do, don't call Matt LeBlanc "Joey"

[NFS4]

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."

Well Matt fucking LeBlanc, when you make shit like Jonah Hex you're not improving your cred.

 

[Homerboy]

When you get paid $1M per episode to be "Joey".... you are "Joey".

 

[KeithTalent]

Poor Joey.

Joey, I'll be there for you...

Did no one tell you life was gonna be this way?

Is your life stuck in 2nd gear?

 

[ViviTheMage]

He doesn't look much like a kangaroo to me...

 

[thegimp03]

What the hell. Why's he being such a big wet rag about it when he probably still gets royalties for Friends episodes that air every night of the week.

 

[BoomerD]

Don't call who, who?

Oh...washed-up Friends actor. meh.

 

[VoteQuimby]

Joey doesn't share food!

 

[yllus]

He should grow facial hair and try to stop looking like himself. Otherwise it's inevitable.

"You all right, Joey? How YOU do-in?" the reporter joked.

Maybe he just had a meltdown in the same way that Dave Chappelle went crazy because of all the "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" stuff

 

[BAMAVOO]

Don't call who, who?

Oh...washed-up Friends actor. meh.

Shouldn't it be, Grammar Nazis of the world...unight?

Ahhh, the trials of tribulations of the filthy rich.

I don't think they were calling him Joey from friends.

I think they were calling him Joey Tribbiani - you know, from JOEY: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375355/

After a part like his friends, and cashing in on the spinoff, his acting career was over.

He should have realized that and either retired or switched to something behind the camera.

 

[herkulease]

isn't the mirror a british tabloid?

anyhow from what they wrote he was drunk.

Drunk actor was obviously drunk.

 

[preslove]

Terrible, but ridiculously luck actor was obviously drunk.

It's still pretty pathetic that he's still trying to have an acting career.
