Matt LeBlanc stepped out for dinner this week — one of the last remaining “Friends” to do so since Matthew Perry died … and it’s meaningful for a lot of different reasons.
The actor hit up Nobu in Malibu Tuesday — which is big considering it’s one of the most high-profile celeb hot spots in town … and whoever goes there certainly wants to be seen. You could argue that’s the case for Matt here — who was joined by a bunch of buddies.
He looked fairly neutral and pensive as he rolled up with the boys, but at one point … he did, in fact, flash a big smile as he greeted one of his friends near the valet booth outside.
Like we said … it’s significant to see MLB out and about like this in the wake of his old costar’s tragic passing — which occurred in late October. The reason … they were close cast members on the hit sitcom … just think about Chandler and Joey.
We’ve seen Matt step out in public before … but the last time he did that, he was behind the wheel driving around in L.A. — so it wasn’t quite like what we’re seeing here at Nobu.
The theme, you might argue, is that life moves on … and so do people, no matter who leaves us. And yet, as hard as MP’s death must be for him — he, too, appears to be trying to carry on as normally as he can. Last month, Matt posted a formal farewell to Perry.
