In what we're pretty sure will come as absolutely devastating news to most people, Matt LeBlanc has completely sworn off ever doing a Friends sequel.

And when we say ever, we really do mean EVER.

We know, they've all said it before - but there's always been a tiny, unspoken glimmer of hope between Friends fans that one day those fake trailers for a reunion film might actually turn out to be real.

But no...

Speaking to Weekend magazine, Matt, who played the loveable Joey Tribbiani in the internationally-revered show for a decade, has been very final in his decision not to ever resurrect the character.

Quite bluntly, he said: "I don’t want to do it – simple."

Wait - what?! In our heads, all six of 'em would jump at the chance... This can't be real.

He went on: "People want to know what happened to them. But it was about a finite period in a person’s life after college, before you settle down and start a family," adding that the characters "would all have moved on from that period so it just wouldn’t be the same."

He joked: "Put bluntly, I don’t think anybody wants to see an old Joey having a colonoscopy. Fine when he was drinking coffee in Central Perk, or auditioning for a job. Not so much fun if he’s undergoing a medical procedure.

"We were a lot younger then and I think that’s how the characters should stay. Normally I’d never say never, but in the case of Friends I would say definitely never."

Our hearts are literally breaking. Get Netflix on STAT.
