Choosing to reflect on both their on- and off-screen friendship, LeBlanc signed off the post with a gut-punching reference to their time on the show: “And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me,” he wrote.
The remaining Friends co-stars, including Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, are yet to reply to the post.
It comes after the cast shared a loving tribute days his shock death, revealing that they are “utterly devastated” in a heartbreaking joint statement.
“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” they shared in a statement sent to People.
“There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.
“In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
The publisher revealed that the message was signed by Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc and Schwimmer.
