Matt LeBlanc has said that he had to face "dark times" after his much loved TV series 'Friends' ended.

The 46-year-old actor said that at that time he dealt with several issues in his personal life.

LeBlanc said that it was a dark time as the 'Friends' spinoff 'Joey' had an undue amount of pressure on it, Contactmusic reported.

He said that the series was meant to fill the shoes of 'Friends' but when there are six pairs of feet, and five are taken away, it becomes harder to walk.

Also, the same year his show ended, LeBlanc officially separated from wife Melissa MCKnight.

An additional problem surfaced after the couple's daughter, Marina, was diagnosed with a form of dysplasia, a brain disorder that affects neurological functions, at just eight months old.
