Matt LeBlanc DIVIDES Twitter after THAT dodgy Emilia Clarke remark
From his role as Joey in Friends to his recent gig on Top Gear, Matt LeBlanc has always been seen as cute, harmless and pretty damn lovable.
But it looks like a recent remark he made at the Emmys this weekend may go a long way towards turning that perception on its head.
While walking the red carpet at the weekend, the 49-year-old actor offered his opinion of Game of Thrones – and Twitter has been having a field day ever since.
While being interviewed alongside GoT's Emilia Clarke, Matt revealed he wasn't a die-hard fan of the show, but Emilia's nude scenes may change that.
"I saw the first season and then kind of fell out of touch with it…and I guess that’s when she started getting naked, so I need to catch up," he said.
And then all hell broke loose in the Twitosphere as social media users debated the nature of the comment.
Every woman ever after #MattLeBlanc said he only wants to watch #GOT cause Emilia Clarke gets naked #Emmys pic.twitter.com/bW8DWDAolU

May I ask how is the #MattLeBlanc joke creepy/offensive, but this one is perfectly fine? #Emmys #Emmys2016 pic.twitter.com/vzVaNnXUP8

Awwwwkward #MattLeBlanc . You could blame it on being in character as Joey, but then #EmiliaClarke would probably send dragons on you.

People need to chill with the whole #MattLeBlanc thing. If a woman said the same thing nobody would be interested & would laugh it off
