Matt LeBlanc announces his retirement: 'I would like to do not a f*cking thing'

'Just nothing. Zero.'

Matt LeBlanc appeared on CONAN this week, taking the opportunity to declare his intent on retiring from acting.

The actor recently wrapped filming on the final season of Episodes and had brought up the possibility of retiring in interviews.

Conan O'Brien pressed him on whether he's looking to quit, and LeBlance replied: "I would love that.

"I'm 50 in a couple of weeks - I'm getting old," he explained, "I think I would like to retire earlier rather than later because I would like to do not a fucking thing. "That's what I would like to do. Just nothing. Nothing. Zero."

This may come as news to the BBC, LeBlanc having recently signed up for a new series of Top Gear.

After joking about what LeBlanc might do with his free time, Conan suggested Matt make it official right there on the show, leading him to declare: "I quit!"

This might not be a hard quit as such for LeBlanc, though I wouldn't be surprised if we do see him start to only make the odd appearance on television and, hell, maybe this will put an end to those ceaseless rumours about a Friends reunion.
