Friends star Matt LeBlanc admits kid recognised him as ‘Joey’s Dad’. Now that iconic show ‘Friends’ is on Netflix, Matt LeBlanc, who plays Joey, says that ‘ it seems like every year there’s a new generation that watches it.”

LeBlanc starred in the show, which had 10 seasons and ran from 1994 to 2004, when he was in his late 20s.
Now, he’s 51 and ,understandably, looks a bit different.

In an interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he shared a story about how a young fan recognised him… as ‘Joey’s Dad’.

He said: “I was walking down the street one day, this was a few years ago, this kid, he must have been 13, 14, he’s like, ‘Oh my god, you’re Joey’s dad!’

“And, my response was, ‘Scram!’ Like an old guy would say.”

While the show is one of the most popular shows ever, many fans have an issue with how the characters could afford to live in a massive New York City apartment.

Something that host Kelly Ripa questioned as well, when she at that time was working on a soap opera and could only afford a ‘shoebox’ with a ‘hot plate and shoilet, like a shower toilet’.

LeBlanc admitted: “This has been a point of contention for a while now. Other people brought this up.

“It was Ross and Monica’s grandmother’s apartment that was rent-controlled, maybe even their great-grandmother.”
We’re still waiting on that Friends reunion show.
