The actor showed off a rugged new look as he arrived at the ABC Studios in LA

MATT LeBlanc sported a grey beard during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! yesterday.

The Friends star, 51, looked worlds away from his clean-shaven days as Joey Tribiani as he showed off his rugged new look on his way into the studios.

Matt smartened up his bearded style with a blue shirt and jeans for his stint on the show.

The actor was on the talk show to discuss his CBS series Man With a Plan.

Top Gear fans were left devastated when Matt announced he was stepping down from the BBC motoring classic after three seasons.

Matt joined the show in 2016 but announced last year that he was stepping down because of the demands of the role, and how much it keeps him away from his family and friends.

Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff will take the wheel when the 26th season ends.

Fans of the programme expressed their disappointment that the US star is leaving as soon as his final series debuted last month.

Another asked: "#TopGear bbctopgear is it too late to make one final plea to hold onto the brilliant Matt-LeBlanc?"
