A grey-haired Matt LeBlanc - aka Joey from Friends - cuts a portly figure as he leaves a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles last night He will forever be known as the twentysomething Italian American actor desperate to hit the big time.
But while the re-runs of Friends will forever immortalise him as the youthful Joey Tribbiani, time has not been so kind to actor Matt Le Blanc.
He was snapped leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles last night with greying hair and looking overweight.
The actor in his Friends heydayDressed down in a red lumberjack shirt, baggy jeans and trainers, he looked a little awkward when he faced the cameras as he left the sushi restaurant last night.
LeBlanc was only 27 when he started on Friends, which first aired in 1994, and he went on to play Joey Tribbiani for the next ten years.
When the show finished after ten series in 2004, Matt starred in a spin-off called Joey, showing his character moving to LA to continue his acting career, but it was axed after two series.
Last September it was announced that the Friends cast could soon be reunited after they all agreed to make a film version of the show, following the success of the Sex And The City film at the box office.
Matt and Jennifer will join their former co-stars - Courteney Cox, 45, Lisa Kudrow, 46, Matthew Perry, 40, and David Schwimmer, 42 - as well as the show’s creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman to write and produce the film, due in cinemas in the summer of 2011.

Fresh-faced: Matt and his Friends co-stars in the first series which aired in 1994James Michael Tyler, who played Central Perk coffee shop employee Gunther, said: ‘Friends: The Movie is definitely on. I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen.’
His co-stars have continued their acting success since Friends finished, especially Jennifer Aniston, 40, who has starred in eight feature films since she ended her role as Rachel Green.
But for the past four years, Matt has not been seen on screen since Joey, although he had minor parts in both Charlie's Angels film while in Friends and lead roles in Lost In Space and All The Queen's Men.
He was divorced from his model wife Melissa McKnight, with whom he has a six-year-old daughter Marina, in 2006 and is reportedly dating his Joey co-star Andrea Anders.
