Joey's gone gray!
Six years after the finale of Friends -- and four after spinoff Joey ended -- fans might be shocked to see Matt LeBlanc, now 43, sporting silver hair.
But LeBlanc has a big secret bottled up. "I dyed my hair the whole time on Friends," he admitted Thursday at a Television Critics' Panel in Beverly Hills for his new Showtime series Episodes.

"I just was sick of doing it," LeBlanc explained of darkening his locks.
And his 4-year TV hiatus was just what the doctor ordered, he said. "When Joey ended, I took a lot of time off...I just really was kinda burned out. I just wanted to be a dad."

LeBlanc has a 6-year-old daughter, Marina, with his ex-wife Melissa McKnight. "We have a great bond, and it's the best thing in my life."
On Episodes, LeBlanc plays a character named...Matt LeBlanc. "It's a character," he added. "It's not me. It's the public's perception of me more than really me."
Will LeBlanc reunite with Friends cohort Courteney Cox for a cameo on her ABC hit Cougar Town? "I haven't been asked!" he admitted, laughing.

Your still a hottie. One of the main reasons I still watch friends! Love ya baby!
Matt U R The best........ No Actor Could Defeat U In Acting As Well As In Comedy ....... Matt U Are The Best.. "U Had Ruled , U Have Rule And U Will Rule..."

LOVE him to pieces!! Miss Friends :(
That´s all nice! Thanks! Mercy!
Both Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston should follow Matt LeBlanc and let their hair go gray! Stunning on young women with their tan and great curves.
You look gorgeous! Is it that I am getting older or something else, but I think you look more handsome, more sophisticated, and sexier with your natural hair. Best always.
Looks much more handsome! LOVE IT!
i think he looks better with gray hair. my opinion.
Gray hair or not, he is still hot!
OMG JOEY IS THAT REALLY YOU!!!! i was just watching the episode where he goes up against the "hombre" cowboy. i can't believe how much he's changed. i will always love the cast of F.R.I.E.N.D.S
he is so sexy and even sexier with the grey hair!!
I like it, maybe not when he was 30, but now it looks great!
again me - it's called taking care of yourself, eating right, using the right products, and so on....you go ahead and let your tree trunk legs get hairy....grow a mustache....and get pimples all over your face....and let all us beautiful people remain just that....beautiful
p.s. Matt was hot on friends, and is even hotter now....yum!
me - you're an idiot...what woman, including Jennifer, lets herself go natural? You color, pluck, shave, etc, etc.....if you didn't you'd look like a fricken cavewoman ugly piece of sh!t which you obvious do because you're advocating that woman don't take care of themselves and have self-respect.....go back to living in the stone ages sweetie,,,,,you must be a lesbo...
