AGASSI STORMED OFF FRIENDS SET OVER SHIELDS' FINGER-LICKING SCENE

Tennis ace ANDRE AGASSI stormed off the set of FRIENDS during one of his then-wife BROOKE SHIELDS' appearances on the sitcom - because he couldn't sit and watch her lick MATT LEBLANC's fingers.
The sportsman details the odd moment in his candid memoirs, Open, and admits it sparked a meltdown he had when he returned home - and smashed his tennis awards.
He tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "I'd determined that tennis is the most meaningless job in the world, I felt disconnected to what it is I do... (I was) pretty much depressed after the 1995 U.S. Open and here I go to a world of people pretending, a world that is so unfamiliar to what it is I live every day.
"The scene called for her (Shields) to eat some hand... It just all became very surreal."
So Agassi walked off the set, got in his car and drove: "I wanted to be free of my own skin... I ended up driving back to Vegas and then you look at all these trophies sitting in your living room that represent the very life that you don't care about... and I just broke all my trophies. I just lost it."
