Reclusive Matt LeBlanc pictured grocery shopping amid major career change

Must read

Matt LeBlanc took a break from running his used luxury car dealership for a grocery run on Wednesday.

The Friends alum stocked up on food for the week ahead at Ralph’s in the Los Angeles area of Encino and left the store with two loaded grocery bags. 

The reclusive star, 57, kept it casual for his errand ran.

Matt sported a burgundy hoodie along with jeans, grey sneakers, and a Mercedes-Benz branded hat. 

It’s been 30 years since Matt catapulted to fame on the small screen.

The actor famously portrayed Joey Tribbiani on Friends from 1994 to 2004 but in recent years has made a career pivot.

The star is now part-owner of RPM Motorcars, which is based in the LA neighborhood of Sherman Oaks.

They offer ‘high quality, exotic, luxury, and sport cars for everyone’ according to its website and is also adept at sourcing unusual models for well-heeled clients.

Business documents filed in Delaware show LeBlanc has part-owned the business since October 2020.

Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the veteran star hard at work on the lot of the dealership, while his distinctive $149,000 black Mercedes G-Wagon can also be seen parked outside.

And it appears LeBlanc has also made the business a family affair with daughter Marina, 20, also spotted at the dealership multiple times in recent weeks, at times wearing a company-branded gray t-shirt.

Marina is LeBlanc’s only child with ex-wife Melissa McKnight, to whom he was married from 2003 to 2006.

When approached for comment, LeBlanc hid to avoid talking to our reporter, but staff confirmed his role at the business.

The revelation of LeBlanc’s new venture comes amid recent reports that he is taking a break from the spotlight.

The television star has not appeared in any film or TV projects since the Friends HBO reunion special in 2021, previously saying he was ‘taking some time off.’

His last acting gig was as Adam Burns on CBS series, Man with a Plan, between 2016 and 2020. 

Recently, Matthew’s Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow revealed the cast of Friends — Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, LeBlanc, and the late Matthew Perry — only met once in the 17 years between the series’ end in 2004 and their 2021 reunion on HBO Max.

‘We’d only had dinner, the six of us, once before since the show ended,’ Kudrow admitted on the Dinner’s on Me podcast hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Despite the long hiatus, the cast picked up right where they left off when they finally convened for dinner 10 years after the finale.

‘Just us at someone’s house and [we] had dinner, and like, didn’t miss a beat,’ Kudrow said.

Friends was a critical and award-winning success, earning a total of 62 Emmy nominations over its 10-season run.

The show won six Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2002, and Aniston and Kudrow both received individual acting awards for their iconic portrayals of Rachel Green and Phoebe Buffay.
