Washington, July 30 - Matt LeBlanc’s hair is all salt and pepper, but the actor insists it’s been that way for a long time now.

"I dyed my hair the whole time on Friends," Usmagazine.com quoted him as saying at a Television Critics' Panel in Beverly Hills for his new Showtime series Episodes.

"I just was sick of doing it," he added.

And his 4-year break from television was just what the doctor ordered, he said. "When Joey ended, I took a lot of time off...I just really was kinda burned out. I just wanted to be a dad."

LeBlanc has a 6-year-old daughter, Marina, with his ex-wife Melissa McKnight. "We have a great bond, and it's the best thing in my life." (ANI)
