You'd have to have been living under a rock if you missed the Friends Reunion last week!

But since it aired, it wasn't Matthew Perry's teeth or the almost love affair between Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer that stole the show.

Instead social media has since been flooded with hilarious memes and clips of Matt LeBlanc, looking surprisingly similar to everyone's 'auld uncle' 🤣

LeBlanc is best known for playing the charming and oh so lovable Joey Tribbiani in the show.

We waited 17 years to see the Friends cast back together again in that infamous purple apartment. It's fair to say we weren't expecting the show's heartthrob to be such comedy gold.

Maybe it's the striped shirt, or perhaps the way he was sitting peacefully with his arms folded, but we've been in stitches over some of these viral posts.

Nicola Coughlan of Derry Girls and Bridgerton stole the show with her genius remarks!

Sharing on Twitter: "Matt LeBlanc is Irish. I don’t want to see any other nation trying to claim him. He’s from Tullamore, he drinks milk with his dinner."

This one tweet alone has racked up an impressive 32.4K likes!

Even major publications in the US are sharing some of the hilarious memes, seems they're loving it just as much as we are!

Did you know Matt LeBlanc has a connection to Northern Ireland?

Matt' LeBlanc has been dating Co. Fermanagh TV producer Aurora Mulligan since 2016.

The pair first met when LeBlanc was filming BBC's Top Gear, when Mulligan was in fact producing the show at the time. How romantic 💞
