Matt LeBlanc, famous for playing Joey on the television sitcom, Friends, and now with his own eponymous spin-off, is denying allegations of hiring a chauffeur to fix him up with backseat gay sex trysts.
As vehemently defensive about heterosexuality as his television character, LeBlanc insists he has never had sex with a man.

The story hit the front pages after his chauffeur Damian Plumleigh took the story to American tabloid, National Enquirer, where he reportedly passed a lie-detector test while baring testimony.
WENN news reported about LeBlanc not caring about the polygraph results and stating that the chauffeur is a liar.
The actor, a happily married father and stepfather, angrily said, 'I am not bisexual. I am not gay. I have never had sex with men.'
LeBlanc, the only of the Friends sextuplet to remain in the show's character, is enjoying relatively decent success with his show Joey on NBC. Speculation is that it does not have any competition, and is aided in its ratings by being placed next to tremendous hit Everybody Loves Raymond.
