Fans praise Matt LeBlanc for having Matthew Perry's back during interview

This sweet moment between Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc will make you realize that their friendship was just as strong off screen.

Perry and LeBlanc played BFFs Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani in Friends, with both actors starring in the series from its debut in 1994 until it ended a decade later.

Years after the show came to a close and the cast members reunited for a highly anticipated Friends reunion.

LeBlanc and Perry were joined by their co-stars David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox for the momentous affair.

Around the time of the reunion airing, cast members did interviews with several news outlets.

In one conversation between LeBlanc, Perry and Schwimmer with Entertainment Tonight, it was evident that 17 Again star Perry didn't realize he was in the shot.

While Schwimmer was chatting to the reporter, Perry started waving to people off-screen to quieten down - but LeBlanc quickly came to his rescue.

"Matty, that's the girls doing an interview," he told his pal.

"You're on camera," LeBlanc politely added.

Embarrassed, Perry went on to ask the reporter: "Are you in a three-shot seeing me do that?"

Laughing, he then went on to joke that he 'looked like a crazy person'.

The clip was shared on TikTok following Perry's untimely passing last year, and Friends fans were quick to gush over the bond between the actors.

"As his castmates have said over the years, he was ALWAYS looking out for them," one person penned on TikTok.

"I love that Matt and David were being kinda protective over Matthew," said someone else.

A third went on: "I love how Matt comforts Matthew and make him understand that the girls are also doing the interview."

Someone else echoed: "I love how the boys backed up Matthew and copied him when he thought he was off camera."

"Matt covering his best friend here with genuine love," another wrote, adding that 'you can’t fake decades of friendship'.

During their Friends reunion back in 2021, Perry emotionally spoke about the cast's 'special' bond.

He said: "The best way that I can describe it is after the show was over, at a party or any kind of social gathering, if one of us bumped into each other, that was it.

"That was the end of the night. You just sat with the person all night long and that was it.

"You apologized to the people you were with, but they had to understand you had met somebody special to you and you were going to talk to that person for the rest of the night. And that's the way it worked."
