The unkempt appearance of Matt LeBlanc, who is 57 years old, is giving rise to concerns that the comedic actor may have an early death, similar to the fate of his late co-star on “Friends,” Matthew Perry.
On October 30, two days after the first anniversary of close friend Perry's fatal overdose at the age of 54, the grizzled former hunk, who has not performed professionally in front of cameras since the 2021 "Friends" reunion special, looked nothing like his signature sitcom character Joey Tribbiani.
A source revealed that Matt is retired and appears indifferent to his untidy appearance and significant weight gain. Although LeBlanc's lawyer denied the assertion, the insider maintained that "He has been experiencing depression since Matthew's demise."
The source told The National Enquirer that his interaction with the overweight Matthew seemed to have precipitated a descent into a comparable perilous trajectory. Matt has always been a large individual, but he is now exhibiting significant abdominal obesity, which is detrimental to his health.
Credible informants suggested that the chubby guy had gained seventy pounds, bringing his weight to an astounding 240 pounds.
Sadly, the former host of "Top Gear" is also being burdened by the deaths of three other friends: German racing pioneer Sabine Schmitz suffered from a rare form of vulvar cancer in March 2021, "Friends" supporting actor James Michael Tyler passed away from prostate cancer in October 2021. Professional rally driver Ken Block passed away in January 2023 due to a freak snowmobile accident.
The source clarified that the demise of numerous acquaintances prompted Matt to recognize that he and his 'Friends' co-stars are merely transient cultural icons. Indeed, he possesses wealth beyond his most extravagant fantasies; nonetheless, there appears to be no significance or value in his existence, at least from Matt's perspective.
It stated that similar to Matthew, Matt has struggled to adapt since "Friends" concluded in 2004. He had perhaps one successful show following Episodes, which openly satirized the remarkable popularity of "Friends." Moreover, none of his endeavors have afforded him the renown and respect he ardently sought.
Furthermore, according to insiders, the longtime automobile enthusiast has abruptly shifted his career from acting to managing a dealership in California that specializes in pre-owned luxury automobiles, which has sparked questions regarding his conduct and mental state, as per The Daily Mail.
However, this is not the end of the story; according to the source who blabbed, Matt also believes that he has been a "total failure in relationships," which is precisely like Matthew.
After only three years, the "Joey" alum's marriage to Marina's mother, Melissa McKnight, ended in divorce in 2006. In 2015, his eight-year affair with "Better Off Ted" beauty Andrea Anders ended.
According to the source, he has accepted that he will spend the rest of his life alone!
The mole observed that he had been solitary for several years. He has vanished from sight and allowed his formerly athletic physique to deteriorate into fat. Those surrounding him are concerned that he requires an urgent emotional intervention lest he replicate Matthew's catastrophic trajectory.
