Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc has been revealed as one of the new presenters of BBC motoring show Top Gear. LeBlanc's appointment marks the first time the show has ever had a non-British host in its 39-year history. LeBlanc commented: "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."
He joins lead presenter Chris Evans on the revamped show, which is expected to return to TV screens in May. Evans said of his new Top Gear presenter: "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."
