BRO CODE: Reason why Matt LeBlanc was dead against Joey and Rachel getting together on 'Friends' finally revealed

Executive producer/director Kevin S Bright said it took some convincing for Matt LeBlanc to come around to the idea of Rachel and Joey as a couple

When it comes to 'Friends' and its iconic storyline, there is one that tends to stick out -- Joey and Rachel's coupling. Their late-blooming romance made many wonder if it was adorable, or appalling?

Fans are till date pondering on that particular subject but to put it all at ease, it has now been revealed that Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey, was totally against the idea when it was first pitched.

According to Digital Spy, Kevin S Bright, the executive producer/director of the hit TV series, said, "I can tell you this – in the beginning, Matt LeBlanc did not want to do that story. He was very firmly against it, saying that he's Ross's friend and that the type of friend that Joey is would never go and take someone else's girlfriend."
