Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc was not impressed when he was called by his character name Joey at a party in London. The 43-year-old actor attended Hed Kandi’s London Fashion Week party at Maddox in London when he was called Joey by reporters. He said to UK newspaper Daily Mirror: “I’m not Joey. Don’t you dare call me Joey. The papers say I’m finished, so don’t call me f***ing Joey. I want to leave that all behind. I’m moving on.” However when the reporters continued to call him by the name Joey he didn’t get any happier. He said: “I’m not Joey. For the last time. I’m not f***ing Joey. It’s Matt. Matt LeBlanc. Joey’s in the past. I’m trying to do something new.” Asked what new projects he’s working on, he said: “I’m gonna do comedy. Working with the Friends producers to do comedy in England. And it’s got nothing to do with Joey before you ask.”
