Early Experience
Unlike Joy , who has seven sisters in "Friends" , Matt is the only son in the family and his mother is an Italian immigrant. Matt graduated from Newton North High School in 1985. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts . After the start of the second semester, he took a break from school. His father is Paul LeBlanc and his mother is Pat Grossman. He inherited Ireland, Holland, England and Acadia from his father ; French descent, and part of Italian descent from his mother. Matt speaks French. He has a half-brother Justin LeBlanc.
The LeBlanc in his name means "white" in French; like many other languages derived from Latin, the "Le" in LeBlanc is just a more formal usage and is usually ignored in translation. Therefore, in literal translation, his surname is "White" in English. .
Matt may have never dreamed of being an actor when he was a child. Since getting his first motorcycle at the age of eight, Matt’s biggest childhood dream was to become a racer.
With this dream, Matt began to participate in various competitions, this extremely dangerous sport made Matt's mother Pat Grossman very worried. As Matt ran into a protective wall in a celebrity Grand Prix motor racing and knocked someone else's car off the track, his mother could no longer bear the adventure of her son and persuaded Matt to give up racing.
At the urging of his mother, Matt began to find other ways to develop his talents. He chose to be a carpenter at the beginning and learned the craft of Wood Working; Carpentry . His craftsmanship has not been learned in vain . In " Friends ", Joy did indeed make a large cabinet that can hold a person by himself. But this cabinet is not very practical. In addition to often hanging up Chandler’s clothes in his roommate, Joy was locked into the cabinet by strangers who came to see the cabinet when he tried to sell it, and the things in the house were naturally looted. Empty.
Wood Working; Carpentry did not become Matt's final choice, he finally decided to become an actor. After graduating from Newton North High School, Matt sold his truck and came to New York alone with three thousand dollars. When he first arrived in New York, Matt's first job was Model , but he didn't like this job himself.
Matt said: "Model is not the protagonist, the line is based on clothing, I don't want to stand there all day to take pictures, just to show a coat." Obviously, Matt wants to be eye-catching. It's me, not the clothes I wear.
Matt's turn did not start with a formal drama, he first attracted the attention of the public as an advertising star. By 1987, Matt had become the "familiar face" in advertisements. His Model advertisements included famous products such as Levi's 501 jeans (Levi's 501) and coke , and his Heinz sauce advertisement for Model was even in 1987. Won the famous Cannes Golden Lion Award in the advertising industry .
After gaining some fame in the advertising industry, Matt began to receive formal drama training in 1988. A year later, he found a role in the TV series "TV 101" and moved to Los Angeles. After moving to Los Angeles, Matt has always participated in productions with little impact. It was not until 1994 that he participated in " Friends " that he really became popular.
After Friends became popular, Matt also tried to develop in the direction of movies, but his work has not been much. In 1998, Matt and Gary Oldman starred in " Lost in Space " (Lost in Space) . After that, Oldman also played a famous actor in " Friends ". Matt also appeared in a cameo in " Charlie's Angels " (Charlie's Angels) , and recently he also performed the war comedy " All the Queen's Men " with Eddie Izzard .
In 2016, Matt LeBlanc re-starred in the sitcom "Man With a Plan" after the acclaimed " Episodes " (Episodes). Due to his wife's return to the workplace, LeBron played Adam Burns (Adam Burns) became the head of the house and took on the arduous task of taking care of the family's three young ancestors. Adam has always thought that he is a funny and playful dad, but when he really started to take care of the daily life of the three little guys, he found that the previous fun and playful image seemed to be drifting away.
Performing Experience
" Friends " was discontinued in 2004. But Joy 's image has gradually become fuller. Not only is he as cute and handsome as before, but he has also become more mature and sensible. Matt of course also has a special preference for Joy, it is he who makes this character who resembles himself in many places come to life.
Matt had a big scar on his forehead and nose when he auditioned for the "Friends" crew because he was drunk the night before and fell. This kind of playful style coincides with Joy. Even David Lawrence Schwimmer , who plays Rose, admitted that when he first saw Matt, he thought Matt in leather pants was a Playboy , and immediately began to hate him, but then the two became very good friends.
Matt said that before starring in " Friends ", he only had more than ten dollars left. The personality and the embarrassment of the little actor that were very similar to Joy allowed him to play the character of Joy to life.
But not everything about Joy makes Matt very satisfied. He said: "I'm just playing a stupid boy. This is not to say that I am also a stupid boy." He is also not about the plot arrangement of Joy falling in love with Rachel in the eighth season. Very satisfied, he has his own views on the Rose-Rachel-Joy triangle relationship.
Matt said he didn't think that arranging him to fall in love with Rachel, who had been entangled with Rose in the eighth season, gave him a chance to shine. He said: "I'm very satisfied with being a member of this group. I like to stay in places that are not very eye-catching. From time to time, I bring some funny elements and play a supporting role in the whole story... Joy and Rachel's feelings The entanglement is too complicated, I mean it slightly changed the core content of the story, which is a bit dangerous."
Matt said he was surprised when he knew that Joy would fall in love with Rachel. He described his feelings at the time and said: "Hey, wow, wait. This is not what it should be done, Joe, don't mix up." He said that this plot made him Had to show the other side of Joy , and he didn't want the audience to see this side.
Matt said that he is Joy’s biggest fan, but the emotional entanglement with Rachel makes him feel very sorry for Joy, because he can only watch Joy heartbreak. And he was reluctant to do so.
Matt said that the key reason for his reluctance is that he does not want to see Joy and Rachel together. He wants to see Rachel and Rose finally get married. He said that " Friends " was aimed at this goal from the beginning. The two of them should be together, and this trend will be more obvious in the ninth season .
Like Aniston, Matt also believes that the ninth season will be the last glory of " Friends ". He said: "I think next year will be the last year." Like other actors, Matt is also very sad. He said: "Thinking of September 2003, I will never get along with Matthew Perry , David Lawrence Schwimmer , Lisa Kudrow , Courteney Bass Cox and Jennifer Aniston again and again. It is very sad. It will take a while to get used to it."
Matt feels that the eighth season of " Friends " has achieved another glorious success, and the ratings are very enjoyable to beat "Survivor" in one fell swoop. He described it as a game, and it feels good to be able to beat them in the end. For us, it's like "Oh, the opponent finally came." Imagine playing tennis. All your opponents are terrible, but you are a master. You play against fifty people in a row, and then you kill them without losing their helmets and armor. Finally, there is an opponent who will win you a round as soon as you come up, and you will really get up and play the game."
Matt has a deep feeling for the " Friends " crew who has worked together for many years , but he also has his own opinions. When a reporter asked which of the five other actors he would call if his car broke down on the road, Matt, who loves racing, said: "I won't call any of them. They are all blind."
Matt has his own evaluation of these five actors. He said: "Courtney is calm and clear-headed, but a bit neurotic. David is very reasonable. He is one of the smartest people I know. Matthew doesn't do much. Think, Jennifer is too, Lisa is very practical."
Matt’s evaluation of himself is very interesting. He said: “I’m the kind of person who can spend ten hours a day digging holes for you as long as you give money. This is me. My theory is: if you give money the same, then Give me the shovel, I can smash the rocks, I can get off the rails. But what they tell me to do is not to do physical work, just tell a few jokes."
NBC ’s 2004 latest comedy series may be another masterpiece after " Friends "—mainly narrating the interesting experience of a third-rate actor breaking into Hollywood...
Waving goodbye to "Friends", which has been with him for ten years, Joy also bid farewell to his old friends who had started a family in New York, and went to sunny Los Angeles to continue chasing his star dream. His sister Gina lives in Los Angeles, a hot, sexy, and easily excited hairdresser. She is also an unmarried mother.
