Matt LeBlanc To Be A New Top Gear Presenter

Friends actor Matt LeBlanc is to be one of the new presenters of Top Gear, the BBC has confirmed.

The Friends star will join Chris Evans as part of the line-up for the new show which is due to air in May.

Evans confirmed the news as he tweeted a picture of himself, LeBlanc and The Stig.

LeBlanc said: "As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I'm honoured and excited to be a part of this iconic show's new chapter. What a thrill!"

Evans added that there is "more to come" - perhaps the announcement of more big names for the new show.

Evans said LeBlanc, who is best known for his role as goofy lothario Joey in Friends, is a "lifelong petrolhead".

"Acting out our craziest car notions on screen is a dream job and I know we'll both be debating some epic road trip ideas," Evans said.

LeBlanc appeared on the original show in 2012 and set the fastest-ever time for their Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment.

According to the official Top Gear website, he set an unbeaten lap time of 1m 42.1s in a Kia cee'd.
