Matt LeBlanc has been claimed by everyone on Twitter.
Following the premiere of Friends: The Reunion last Thursday on HBO Max, viewers and longtime Friends fans took to Twitter to meme one of LeBlanc's poses from the show.
The meme features a photo of LeBlanc with his arms crossed, giving off a particular "dad" stare. The image apparently shares an aura with that of an Irish uncle "with a heart of gold," according to one Irish Twitter user. "He's behind the times, rough round the edges, loves life, his family, his cattle and you, hugs like a bear, drinks like a fish, talks the hind legs off a donkey and punched that guy in the gob who slagged off your gay partner," they continued.
