In an interview with BBC1's The Graham Norton Show, actor Matt LeBlanc, who played the role of Joey Tribbiani in the super-hit sitcom, revealed that he is often stopped in the streets by people asking if he is related to the actor who plays Joey Tribbiani.
The actor said, "They say, ‘What’s with the grey hair? Are you Joey’s dad?’”
Friends was one of the most watched comedy series during its ten year run, and continues to enjoy a loyal and ever-expanding fan base despite being discontinued in 2004. Thanks to repeats shown around the world the entire cast remains very popular to this day.
According to Matt LeBlanc, “Friends is always on somewhere so there is a new crop of teenagers finding it for the first time."
Despite being typecast as a goofy dimwit, there have been several times when Joey Tribbiani proved himself to be the wisest among all the Friends as these subtitled screengrabs from an article on MensXP have shown.
1. When he described the perfect living room decor
2. When he pointed out why no one's boss liked them
3. When he called his friends out on stereotypical biases
4. When he was able to justify a phrase he made up on the spot
5. When he successfully proved there is no such thing as "an unselfish good deed"
