Ever since Friends joined Netflix's UK lineup late last year, some young British people have expressed dismay over some of the show's storylines, which they've found to be transphobic, homophobic and sexist. LeBlanc recently weighed in on the controversy while promoting Top Gear for BBC. "I've heard those rumors too about people taking pot shots at Friends, but I don't want to get into that. I disagree with all that,” LeBlanc said. "On Top Gear, we tend to steer clear of any sort of political content, nothing too topical," he added. "On Friends, we steered clear of that kind of thing too. Friends was about themes that stand the test of time – trust, love, relationships, betrayal, family and things like that.”
