Matt LeBlanc isn't ready to call it a day as an actor.
Amid claims that the Friends alum had quietly retired following Matthew Perry's death in October prompted him to reconsider his life, his publicist put those rumors to rest with a single word.
"Rubbish," he told The Mirror when asked if the allegation was true.
The Daily Mail earlier claimed that Perry's sudden death forced LeBlanc, 57, to consider his own life choices.
A insider told the magazine, "Such a vital part of his life and a wonderful friend has died. It made him reconsider his life. He wants to focus on other things since that is what is essential to him right now.
The insider went on to say, "He would require the right chance to return in front of the camera for any job in TV or film, as he has quietly retired. He is financially secure and does not want to be in the spotlight anymore.
Notably, LeBlanc has previously stated that his absence from the spotlight is due only to his reclusive character.
"People will always ask me if I'm alright, because I'm much more low-key and reserved than my character in Friends," he stated in a Radar Online interview in 2012. They believe I'm unhappy, sad, or upset, but I'm just not excited to go out in front of an audience and perform a TV program. "That is not who I am."
