Matthew Perry thinks that former Friends co-star Matt LeBlanc will be ‘great’ in his new role as Top Gear host.
While he hasn’t actually spoken to his friend since he bagged the job, Perry has said that the actor will be ‘thrilled’.
Heaping praise on LeBlanc, Perry told Alan Carr that there wouldn’t be any Jeremy Clarkson-style incidents while filming.
When asked whether or not LeBlanc ever got ‘punchy’ on set, Perry responded:

“No, he was wonderful. Matt is one of the nicest, funniest guys in the world.”
He added: “It's a very exciting job for him because he loves cars. He must be thrilled.
"I haven't spoken to him since he booked the gig, but he is going to be great."
Perry is in the UK at the same time as his former co-star as he’s currently on stage on the West End production of his new play The End of Longing.
Alan Carr: Chatty Man is on Channel 4 on Thursdays at 10pm.
