Matt Leblanc, better know for playing Joey Tribiani on the hit sitcom ‘Friends’, has denied rumours of a ‘Friends’ movie, insisting that he’d rather fans remember the beloved TV characters, as they were when the sitcom ended. There has been much speculation about a ‘Friends’ reunion ever since the hit show went off the air in 2004, but LeBlanc insists a get together is as unlikely as ever, and talk of a possible film is utile.
The actor insists ‘Friends’ will never be able to make the transition from the small screen to the big screen like ‘Sex and the City’ did. “Sex and the City’ is always a single kind of a show, like a film, so it made the transition from television to film much more readily,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
“Also Friends was about this final period in six people’s lives. You know the saying that the book is always better than the movie because your imagination as to what these characters have moved on to and done with their lives is gonna do more justice for the characters than for us to try and put them back in a room together.
It was about that 20-something age and that’s how I feel. There’s no plans for a movie,” he added.
