American actor Matt LeBlanc becomes Top Gear host
Matt LeBlanc, best known for his
role as Joey Tribbiani in hit US television comedy Friends, has been announced
as a host of the revamped BBC Top Gear show.
The American, a long-time car and
motor racing fan, will join presenter Chris Evans when the new series returns
to screens in May.
LeBlanc, who is also due to start
shooting the fifth series of Anglo-American comedy Episodes in April, is the
fastest-ever participant of Top Gear's 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car'
segment, with a best lap time of 1m 42.1 seconds in the Kia cee'd that has been
put to the test by a host of celebrities.
Speaking about his new role, 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: “Matt’s a lifelong
fellow petrolhead and I’m thrilled he’s joining Top Gear.
"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. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to on screen later
this year.”
In addition to his success on track
on the main show, LeBlanc also recently presented the standalone spin-off – Top
Gear: The Races.
