Actor Matt LeBlanc, who rose to fame after playing Joey on popular 1990s sitcom 'Friends', feels the show will never get old as every generation can relate with it.
'Friends' premiered more than 20 years ago and aired for a decade but LeBlanc, 47, thinks it still seems fresh today, reported People magazine.
"It's pretty timeless. It's about people in a phase of your life - that sort of after college and before your life starts.
"There's always going to be a new generation going through that, and they can identify with it because we kind of dealt with a lot of the issues that you deal with where your friends are your family. I think it's good. I'm proud of it," he said.
LeBlanc said the version of himself that he played on the series was not always completely fictionalised.
"We have dinner a lot. We chat a lot, and sometimes they will take something from a story I told them, or most of the time it's just things they've come up with on their own," he said.
