It's not often that Friends star Matt LeBlanc is seen out in public these days, but his most recent appearances have sparked concern in fans.

Matt LeBlanc, 57, was pictured on Tuesday as he was pictured in LA, amid reports his Friends costars are concerned for his well-being

I am so glad I'm not famous. I just see an older overweight guy smoking. There are millions of them out there. Doesn't make the papers. . .

@San Antonio Gal

I'd be worried about him as well.

He looks terribly unhealthy and older than his age, 57 doesn't have to look like that.

Being overweight and a cigarette smoker significantly increases your risk of all cause mortality and if my loved one was in that condition I'd be extremely worried about him.....He looks like a ticking time bomb.

He always had a weight problem. I remember years ago listening to him speak about this problem. He probably is not working now and let himself go. Always a nice looking guy, too bad. Never know what is happening in a person's life. Even the famous have problems.

@San Antonio Gal - This is so sad. Apparently he's taking Matthew Perry's death really hard. This whole group of actors is amazingly close. Maybe because after they were all cast director James Burrows took them to Las Vegas for a few days so they would get to know each other. He told them they were going to be really famous. Matthew and Matt were close long after Friends ended.

Courtney and Jennifer check up on him every day. They go to his home frequently.

Interesting tidbit: On the show originally Monica and Joey were supposed to get together. The producers decided to focus on Ross and Rachel instead.

Matt is divorced and has a 20-year old daughter and stepchildren.

So he's gained weight and he's not wearing designer jeans, tee or shoes. I don't see anything that would concern me, except for the smoking.

It must be awful to know that your every move will be photographed. Maybe he's just getting some D.I.Y. stuff to do some work around his home.

Pictures were taken when he was out car shopping with his daughter.

Oh, well that makes a world of difference. I always dress up to the nines, when I go car shopping!

Oh...wait...no, I don't. I usually wear a tee, jeans and sneakers so I can test drive any potential car.

(Jeez, no privacy at all for celebrities, even when out with their kids.)

I agree that he doesn't look like he used to and somewhat unrecognizable but people change over the years. The smoking does bother me though and I don't care how he's dressed no matter where he is unless he's going into a fancy restaurant dressed like that. It's normal. Sorry if people don't agree. I'm glad that his friends watch out for him and check on him daily. That's what friends are for and says something about them and how close they were.

I always loved him on Friends and he was on another sit com recently and he was so good in both of these. I'm sure with Friends and the money he made he is set for life and he probably doesn't have any financal worries, so if he just wants to not worry about looking perfect all the time and he is happy with himself, then that's just fine. The only thing that I think is worrisome is the smoking. I won't go into details, but this is something that has really negatively impacted my life in many ways.

All this picture shows is that people don't always use their money to their benefit. He could hire a trainer, nutritionist, and chef as well as explore every avenue to kick the smoking habit for good.

His sit-com "Man with a Plan" streams on Paramount Plus. It is a funny,funny show.

He's just a man with a little extra weight and a cigarette. It's a free country. Leave the man alone.

I read this article yesterday but he really does not look like he as gained too much more weight then he was already carrying on his t.v. show Man With A Plan that ended 4 years ago. I did not know that he smoked. I am sure he is hurting terribly as they all are.

Amazing how many of you KNOW so much about he and his friends co stars. They are worried, call him daily, etc. This is just gossip and speculation. He's almost 60 and is overweight. How many of us are in the same position? So sad people don't have anything better to do with their time.

A perfect example of the obesity of America. Very sad.

Re: Matt LeBlanc, 57, friends concerned about him

GingerHead — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 15:01:54 GMT

Well, personally, I don't follow stars and it is sad that their every move is photographed etc because I know I'd hate that.

But this picture shows a seemingly unhealthy human (overweight and older looking than his age) doing a very unhealthy/destructive thing (smoking). Add to the fact that his friends are worried about him (I just learned from here) that all adds up to a worrisome situation.

I think we have normalized this look in America but it's not normal or healthy.....

Re: Matt LeBlanc, 57, friends concerned about him

They CallMe MRWILKES — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 15:14:50 GMT

I don't consider him obese at all from the pictures. Overweight perhaps.

The gross generalizations about Americans are extremely humorous, yet also highly offensive.

What's sad is the false, fake and phony moral superiority spouted with fervor so frequently here by some purporting to be paradigms of health and fitness. Not buying it.

You don't know what a person is going through, famous or not.
