Share this @internewscast.com

Matt LeBlanc made a rare appearance in public this week, just shy of two years since his Friends co-star, Matthew Perry, passed away.

The 58-year-old actor, who has largely stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight to focus on his car dealership business, was spotted enjoying a stroll with his daughter, Marina, 21.

LeBlanc opted for a casual look with a red shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap, his hair and beard showing signs of gray, marking his first public sighting in nearly a year.

This outing comes just days before the anniversary of Perry’s death on October 28.

Matthew Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing, Joey Tribbiani’s best friend on Friends, tragically passed away in 2023 from a drowning incident linked to a ketamine overdose at the age of 54.

LeBlanc now co-owns RPM Motorcars, located in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles.

They offer ‘high quality, exotic, luxury, and sport cars for everyone’ according to its website and is also adept at sourcing unusual models for well-heeled clients.

Business documents filed in Delaware show LeBlanc has part-owned the business since October 2020.

Exclusive Daily Mail photos showed the veteran star hard at work on the lot of the dealership, while his distinctive $149,000 black Mercedes G-Wagon can also be seen parked outside.

Marina is LeBlanc’s only child with ex-wife Melissa McKnight, to whom he was married from 2003 to 2006.

When approached for comment, LeBlanc hid to avoid talking to our reporter, but staff confirmed his role at the business.

The revelation of LeBlanc’s new venture comes amid recent reports that he is taking a break from the spotlight.

The television star has not appeared in any film or TV projects since the Friends HBO reunion special in 2021, previously saying he was ‘taking some time off.’

His last acting gig was as Adam Burns on CBS series, Man with a Plan, between 2016 and 2020.

Recently, Matthew’s Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow revealed the cast of Friends — Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, LeBlanc, and the late Matthew Perry — only met once in the 17 years between the series’ end in 2004 and their 2021 reunion on HBO Max.

‘We’d only had dinner, the six of us, once before since the show ended,’ Kudrow admitted on the Dinner’s on Me podcast hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Despite the long hiatus, the cast picked up right where they left off when they finally convened for dinner 10 years after the finale.

‘Just us at someone’s house and [we] had dinner, and like, didn’t miss a beat,’ Kudrow said.

Friends was a critical and award-winning success, earning a total of 62 Emmy nominations over its 10-season run.

The show won six Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2002, and Aniston and Kudrow both received individual acting awards for their iconic portrayals of Rachel Green and Phoebe Buffay.
