Matt LeBlanc wants to live with his co-host Chris Evans.
The 48-year-old actor is currently on the hunt for his own place in the UK after he landed a presenting gig on the revamped version of 'Top Gear' but, in the meantime, he's hoping he can crash at the radio host's home until he's set up.
Speaking on Chris' Radio 2 breakfast show, he said: "I've got someone over there looking for a place for me, but I bet your place is a lot nicer than what I was looking at. I'll stay at the guest room or am I on the couch? I've got a better idea - what if you just put a cot in your garage and I'll sleep in there?"
The former 'Friends' star, who is known for playing buffoon Joey Tribbiani in the US sitcom, sent fans of the motoring show into a meltdown earlier this week when he announced he will be joining Chris as they co-present the programme.
He said at the time: "As a car nut and a massive fan of 'Top Gear', I'm honoured and excited to be a part of this iconic show's new chapter. What a thrill!"
Matt's signing is the first time a non-British host has fronted the motoring show in its 39-year history.
However, Matt is no stranger to the programme as he's slipped behind the wheel for the purpose of the show twice before and even holds the record to date for the fastest celebrity to whiz around the track in its reasonably priced car.
'Top Gear' is set to return to screens on May 8.

Danniella Westbrook's ex-boyfriend has reportedly been arrested after he allegedly threatened to kill her.
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' star's former toyboy lover Tom Richards was charged with a public order offence earlier this week after he allegedly used threatening words and behaviour towards the 42-year-old actress last year.
A police spokesman told The Sun newspaper: "A man has been charged with a public order offence."
Tom, 26, reportedly first made the threats last October but was pulled into a police station in Waltham Abbey, Essex after a complaint was filed on Tuesday evening (02.02.16).
The cage fighter was quizzed for two hours before he was bailed to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on March 3.
Danniella dated Tom for two years until she called time on their engagement in 2014 following a string of blazing rows.
The youngster was left devastated by the split and vowed to win her back after he'd "sorted" himself out.
He wrote on Twitter at the time: "Absolutely gutted that me and @westbrookdanni have split but im goin away 2sort myself out, i love dan 2bits n wil do waever it takes 2fix it (sic)."
Danniella, who has two children Jodi and Kai from two previous relationships, has now moved on and is loved up with her new toyboy boyfriend George Arnold, 23.

Lucy Mecklenburgh will never make a "permanent" return to 'The Only Way is Essex'
The 24-year-old reality TV star turned her back on the show two years ago in order to focus on her fitness venture and, although she hasn't ruled out going back for a few scenes, she's adamant she'll never make the programme her priority.
She explained: "I wouldn't go back permanently, but Lydia Bright is one of my best friends, so if anything happened to her that meant me going back, I'd definitely consider it."
Since waving the cameras goodbye, the brunette beauty has managed to build herself a fitness empire and a clothing brand but she has admitted it took hard work and long hours.
She said: "It feels so long ago [since I left] but I've done a lot of growing up - I started on the show when I was 19 but I were to walk on set now, I'd still know what to do.
"A lot of people expect that with fame comes fortune but things aren't handed to you."
And it's taken a while for Lucy to shake off the reality TV star tag but believes she's now recognised for her business.
She told Star magazine: "I wanted a credible fitness business as there are so many reality stars doing weight loss DVDs. I'm glad people can see past the reality star stigma."

Joss Mooney used to get paid £50 to strip off at university.
The 'Ex on the Beach' hunk, who is known for parading his bulging biceps and ripped abs, managed to pocket some extra cash when he was studying in his early 20s by peeling off his shirt and wandering around nightclubs.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I am quite confident in myself. Even when I was in uni I got paid to walk around clubs with my shirt off. I used to get paid £50 a night. It was more of an excuse to get free alcohol."
But, fast forward seven years and the handsome model is gearing up to get his kit off for his debut in the Dreamboys.
He explained: "The rehearsals are the this month, in like a week or so, and the choreography is going to be really exciting because I finally learn how to dance."
However, despite his confidence, Joss is adamant the most he'll be flashing when he graces the stage is his bottom because he's concerned, if he reveals more, his naked physique will be splashed across the internet.
He said: "It's not like one-on-one stripping. We will be doing routines and not getting fully naked. Although one guy does get his shlong out at the end. He's got a very big willy. The thing is if I strip fully naked it will just go everywhere do you know what I mean. Me and Rogan on 'Ex on The Beach' are doing something together but we are not sure what it's going to be yet. I think it will be something in uniform, but I think the most we will get out is our bums."

Stephanie Davis has accused Sam Reece of cheating on her.
The 'Hollyoaks' actress was slammed for cheating on Sam with Irish model Jeremy McConnell while on 'Celebrity Big Brother' but after finishing runner up on the show on Friday (05.02.16), Stephanie insisted that she never would have gotten together with Jeremy if things were perfect with Sam.
Speaking about getting booed on exiting the house, she said: "I know a lot of it has to do with what happened with Jez. At the end of the day I'm only a human being but if everything was ok at home that wouldn't have happened and I love him to bits.
"Sam broke my heart and he knows that and I stayed with him even though I shouldn't have. And Jeremy just made me feel like I never have before and he made me feel a sense of worth.
"I think before I met him I was in love with the idea of being in love and stayed with someone who hurt me and hurt me and hurt me. I am the most loyal person ever, I would never look the other way. Sam had already cheated. I just had to be honest with myself and put myself first."
Stephanie was spotted cuddling with Jeremy after her interview but admitted she didn't know what would happen with their relationship outside of 'CBB'.
She said: "Jez might be like, oh no I just want to stay friends. If Big Brother has taught me anything, it's expect the unexpected. I might to Dublin to see how it goes.
"I've never been truly loved before, I've never had someone love me for being me. I saw Jeremy and thought Oh crap, I'm taken but as it went on I feel more and more for him."
But winner Scotty T insisted the pair were crazy about each other all along.
He said: "They are a good couple, they were so mad for each other that they didn't care what anyone said. They couldn't stay away from each other."

Scotty T has won 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 'Geordie Shore' star received the most public votes, beating runner up Stephanie Davis during Friday's (05.02.16) final.
Former 'Hollyoaks' star Stephanie exited the house first and was greeted with a chorus of overwhelming boos.
Earlier John Partridge was the first contestant of the night to be voted out, finishing in sixth place.
Following his elimination, John insisted he had not been playing games during his time in the house, saying: "I took a step back because I couldn't understand and I suddenly thought what is it that they're seeing that I'm not."
He was swiftly followed by fifth placed Danniella Westbrook and Tiffany Pollard, who was one of the contestants tipped to win, in fourth place.
She said: "I made it to the final and that's good enough for me. Fourth place feels like a win for me. At first it felt like I was a fish out of water, I didn't feel like I had a place in the house."
Darren Day finished third and said he was over the moon to make it into the final as he thought he would be evicted in the first week.
And while he revealed he wanted Scotty T to win, he was full of praise for controversial contestant Stephanie for "turning things around" and making it to the final.

Tom Parker will replace Tina Hobley in 'The Jump' after she dislocated her elbow and fractured her arm in training.
The former Wanted singer, who has been on standby for the past three weeks, has been pulled in to take the 'Holby City' star's place in the competition after she was forced to withdraw following a nasty accident on the slopes in Austria, it has been confirmed by Channel 4.
But Tom has also been in the wars as he ripped the ligaments in his wrist last week when he took a tumble while he was practicing as a reserve on the winter sports show.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I've hurt my hand, yeah. We were practicing the air jump and I landed on my hand and pulled all of the tendons and ligaments in my wrist. That did actually really hurt. But we push on."
However, the 27-year-old hunk is adamant the injury won't stop him from slipping into his thermals and hitting the slopes when the show returns to screens this weekend.
Tom said before he landed the replacement gig: "I'd love to do the show because I had such a great time out there."
Meanwhile, Tina was left devastated last night (04.02.16) when she announced she had no choice but to leave the competition after she landed wrong during a ski jump.
Tina got distracted after members of the crew failed to vacate the landing area, and the show has now issued an apology for her accident and promised to draft in extra precautions.
Her right arm is currently in a plaster cast and will take around six weeks to heal.

Eamonn Holmes' double hip replacement surgery took doctors "longer" than expected.
The 'This Morning' presenter went under the knife yesterday morning (04.02.16) following half a decade of excruciating pain and, although the surgery went "well", his wife Ruth Langsford was concerned something had gone wrong when he didn't come out of theatre when expected.
Speaking on the brunch show this morning (05.02.16), the blonde beauty said: "It [the surgery] went very well... it happened yesterday morning at 8am. It took a little bit longer than we thought which was a bit scary."
And, although it's only been a matter of hours since the operation, Ruth, 55, has admitted she has already seen a huge improvement in Eamonn's mobility.
She said: "I've seen him, and he was away with the fairies when he came back of course saying 'ooooh, hello darling!' ...and he actually lifted his legs which he hasn't been able to do for years! Already. It was amazing."
The Irish anchor was riddled with nerves prior to the surgery but felt it was necessary after putting it off for years.
Ruth explained: "His face was very scared when he went in... it's a big thing, he's had a double hip operation and to have them done at the same time, it's a big operation."
Meanwhile, Eamonn is expected to return to the 'This Morning' sofa in 10 weeks' time but, in the meantime, is being replaced by Ben Shephard while he recuperates.

Sam Faiers' partner had a "two-hour nap" while she went through a nightmare labour with their baby son Paul.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star welcomed her first child into the world in December and she has revealed, while she was going through the traumatic birth, her beau Paul Knightley was getting some well-needed shut eye.
Speaking in a teaser clip for her new show 'The Baby Diaries', the blonde explained: "I had like severe, severe back pain and Paul was obviously, he was just next to me the whole time, wasn't you. Oh actually, you did go for a nap. He went for a two hour nap!
"I remember when I was in labour and I was thinking, 'Where's he gone?' and I thought I'd leave it for a little while and then about half an hour afterwards I thought, 'Has he gone upstairs for a nap?' Gaynor, Paul's mum, went upstairs and got him back down again. I was like, 'I'm going to talk to you about this after.' "
The 24-year-old reality TV star documented her pregnancy and part of her 26-hour labour for the forthcoming show but has admitted Paul wasn't so "keen" on the cameras at first.
She said: "He wasn't too keen, it took quite a bit of persuading. It's not his world - he's never been on camera before.
"I actually thought he was a natural, I thought he was quite good, but he did it for me. I'm glad that he got involved as much as he did because it shows us as a family unit going into parenthood."
