Friends star Matt LeBlanc’s estranged father savagely claimed that his son was not as pally with his on-screen partner in crime in real life.
In fact, he went as far to suggest that his famous child, Matt, actually thought his co-star was an “a**hole”.
On the show Chandler Bing and Joey Tribiani’s close bond seemed unbreakable but off-screen, that doesn’t quite appear to be the case.
Fans were lead to believe that the iconic duo not only shared a bromance on-screen but were thought to have been good chums away from the Friends set too.

According to his father Paul LeBlanc, their on-screen friendship couldn’t have been further from the truth.
In an interview with Radar Online, he aired his son’s real views, stipulating that he thought Matthew Perry was an “a**hole”.
Paul added: “He wanted to pound on [Perry] a couple of times.”
In the same interview, he touched on his relationship with David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow.

Matt’s father added: “David was kind of dry, a bit too serious”, later adding “he always liked Lisa”.
His views on the bond of cast came after it was reported that Matt had cut his father off after he’d sold stories.
The Sun reported that the TV star had made him sell his six-bedroom house in Colorado and Porsche car that he had bought for his dad when they were on good terms.
Matt’s father walked out when he was just a kid, but they reconciled in later life, with Matt reportedly buying him a six-bedroom house in Colorado and a classic Porsche car.

Speaking to the publication, the actor said: “He was a ladies man”.
“Now he’s old. I don’t talk to him. You can learn valuable lessons from unpleasant people too.”
According to recent reports, Matt’s view seemed to be very contrary, as he even told People Magazine they were tight like a family.
The 53-year-old said: “Courteney and Lisa are like my big sisters, but Jen’s like my little sister. Matthew’s like my little brother, and David’s like my big brother.
“That’s how it all broke down. And it’s literally just like chronological.”
