‘Not true’ that Friends cast are worried about Matt LeBlanc’s appearance after Matthew Perry’s death

The Chandler Bing actor was found dead at his home in LA on October 28 last year, at the age of 54.

In the months that have followed, his former co-star LeBlanc has rarely been seen in public,

after paying a heartfelt tribute and attending the private funeral in November.

The Joey Tribbiani actor, 57, was recently pictured in Los Angeles, looking relaxed and keeping a low profile.

However, his appearance and behaviour recently is said to have sparked concern from Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer – however, Metro.co.uk understands that this isn’t the case and they don’t feel this way.

It had been widely reported that a source had previously claimed: ‘Nobody’s body shaming Matt or accusing him of anything untoward lifestyle, that’s not what’s going on here.

Matt LeBlanc‘What’s concerning though, for Jen 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 insider added to In Touch Weekly: ‘He’s been in touch since the tragic passing of Matthew Perry, but aside from that, he’s just hunkered down and doing his own thing without any real interest in socializing.

‘That’s just plain sad for everyone to see.’

They added that his co-stars ‘want to get him back in the fold and get him smiling again’, after the tragedy of Perry’s death taught them ‘how short and precious life truly is’.

LeBlanc was close to Perry before his death, and was the first of the five Friends stars to pay tribute.

Alongside images of the pair together, he said: ‘Matthew, it is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life.

‘It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never.

‘Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love. And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.’LeBlanc also shared a joint statement with Aniston, Schwimmer, Cox and Kudrow after Perry’s death, which said: ‘We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family.’
