Matt LeBlanc was recently spotted on a rare outing in Los Angeles, where he was seen with a noticeably disheveled appearance. This sighting has raised concerns among friends and former ‘Friends’ cast members.

One year since Matthew Perry’s death

LeBlanc’s appearance comes nearly one year after the tragic death of his friend and former co-star, Matthew Perry, who passed away in October 2023 at his Los Angeles residence.

An unkempt look

In photos published by TMZ, the 57-year-old actor wore a wrinkled black T-shirt, dark jeans, and a black baseball cap. His unshaven face and distant gaze added to the image that has reportedly left his friends unsettled.

Few public appearances since Perry’s passing

LeBlanc has made very few public appearances since Perry’s death, increasing concern among his former castmates, who feel he’s led a more secluded lifestyle since then, according to a source quoted by In Touch magazine.

‘Friends’ concerned he may be "unravelling"

A source close to the cast mentioned that Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer are worried about LeBlanc’s withdrawal. They’re concerned he may no longer feel comfortable in their company as he once did, according to the publication Marca.

Low self-esteem? Grief?

According to the same source, LeBlanc appears to have lost self-confidence and let himself go physically, a notable change for the typically upbeat and sociable actor, as his friends see it.

Support from his ‘Friends’

Despite his reclusive behavior, the actor’s former ‘Friends’ co-stars are reportedly making an effort to stay close to him. The Mirror reports that they’re eager to help him through this difficult time and bring back his usual smile.

The lingering impact of Perry’s death

Matthew Perry was found dead in his home on October 28, 2023, a loss that shook the ‘Friends’ cast and has left a profound impact on LeBlanc, who was the first to publicly pay tribute to Perry on social media.

"The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life"

After Perry’s death, LeBlanc shared his grief in a moving post: “It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,” he wrote. "I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never."

A wake-up call

For his friends, Perry’s passing has underscored the importance of staying close to one another. Their hope now is to see LeBlanc regain his zest for life and move forward, according to In Touch.
