Matt LeBlanc's making new 'Friends' on Top Gear

Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc seems to be making new friends in his new role as a Top Gear presenter.

The host, 48, shared a picture of him filming for the upcoming series with rapper Tinie Tempah, 27, on location in South Africa.

Pictured sitting next to each other in a blue Porsche and both flashing a thumbs up to the camera, Matt captioned the picture: “My co-driver for a few days. Tinie Tempah going low.”

Matt and Tinie, whose real name is Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu, have been filming together for several days, with the rapper tweeting a funny selfie to BBC Radio 1′s Greg James on Monday showing Matt pulling a terrified face at the wheel of the car.

It is unknown what they are filming, but they could be going head-to-head in a Top Gear host-and-popstar challenge with Chris Evans and Sharleen Spiteri, as Chris shared a picture with her in the country on Sunday.
