- Having just come off a long hiatus from acting and wrestling with a new perspective on life in the midst of grieving the loss of his father, Matt Damon stepped on the set of 'Ford V Ferrari' thinking "What am I doing?".

*I’m glad someone finally had time for Matt Damon.*
Jade Nguyen Don’t tell Jimmy Kimmel!
Zunair Khan what kinda fucked up joke is that?
@@zunairkhan22 you're mad that he didn't testify about stuff he didn't actually know about? did you read the article? it only says he heard rumours, nothing substantial. You can't just stand in a court room and just say "yo i heard some shit".
Omg 🤣🤣
@@SpeedfreakUK why does this always have to turn into this bullshit/ they are only actors, dont make it a bigger than it is. We all appreciate a good story/good actors.
Probably why he killed it. His Carol Shelby left a lasting impression on me.
The whole movie is great but he really shined in this movie
really? i didn't think it worked
7000 rpm will never been the same.
Its cos acting those kinds of roles isn't that hard. That's not being said from the typical person watching from a couch but as someone who took some acting. Then again it came easier for me than many in the class.
bellmeisterful wow you must be so talented and smart! thank you for your insightful information!
"what i thought to myself is, this guy probably had days where he didnt feel like he could sell shit to anybody." I needed that.
The Off Camera Show helps me tremendously when I am feeling beat up or down after an audition or performance. These true, real expressions of knowledge and sage wisdom give me hope for the career I am trying to build as an actor. Thank you so much Off Camera!
Absolutely. I enjoy writing. I've never thought about a career in it, but a growing list of people tell me i should be a writer. This interview has helped me quite a bit. I am so impressed with Ethan Hawk. I'm a technican in Oil and Gas. It's a good job but not my passion.
Justyburger pursue your passion. I teach welding but also am pursuing acting. I believe my profession allows me free time and opportunities to pursue both simultaneously. I believe that I can achieve success in both.
More power to you, William. May you be successful in achieving your acting dream. From a fellow budding actor.
Good Luck Man. Keep Going No Matter What

How do you feel about it now?
Jesus Christ Matt is almost 50 years old and he’s looks so great like he’s in his early 30s
nope, nope...he doesn't even look like he can pass for late 30's. He can "pass" for early 40's... but definitely look like hes in his mid 40's had I not known his age.
Eric Lemaire, Jr. you look no younger than 50s
@@lIlIlIlIlIlIIIIIIII lol, nice try. Listen, I like Matt Damon too. Saying he can pass for early to mid 40s is still a compliment to him. He's 49 😒. He just absolutely would NEVER pass for late 30s let alone early 30s.
@@elemaire86 He could pass for as young as 34 imo. At least in this video.
Wow. Until you mentioned it, I thought Christian Bale was older than Matt Damon. Matt's actually 4 years older than Christian. Unbelievable.
Called imposter syndrome. Most successful people, who are honest and self-aware, feel this sensation at some point in their careers.
Well his Dad died he was still shook from trauma. So he was questioning his life choices. I don't know about "imposter syndrome" .
@IdeasEssential I wouldn't say that but they change terms ie: shellshock is PTSD now. I just don't think that guy is qualified to diagnose everybody. Matt was probably a bit depressed I trust what he said himself he knows himself. Existential crisis he said.
@IdeasEssential ….said the "conditioned" scientologist?
@IdeasEssential I am just saying imposter syndrome does not sound like a proper description. Psychiatry seems like a philosophical area of study and depends on who you listen to for instance Freud sounded like a sex obsessed coke head and I prefer Jung. When my own Dad died though I know I had a hard time and was depressed. Not the same as a chemical imbalance that a bi polar person endures they have cycles to emotions you can almost clock on a calender 3 months up three months down for example.
@Pusalieth depression and existential crisis happens to poor not famous people too they just don't have a*sholes on line judging them publicly.
I love off camera, it really humanises the people we see & hear on screens
He isn't like carol shelby but he played him more realistically than anyone else could.
Wow... the dude is a real guy. Loved his work as an actor most of my life, but now I actually kinda like the guy himself. Hold strong Matt. You've got this.
I lost my dad at 12 after he struggled with cancer for 8 months with no discussion ever between he and I about mortality or how either of us felt or thought about it. I would empty his hospital pans, swap out his oxygen tank and he would ask me how my day at school was. That was the extent of us vs. his illness. I've had to live with the repercussions of that my whole life.
When I had my son at 42, I was aware that it was likely that this may be an issue for my son sooner versus later. It'd be nice for him or anybody to be saying goodbye to their parents as your turning 50, but just in case, I talk all the time about mortality and how I feel about it and do what I can to make him feel better about me leaving. I forget who said it but, somebody smarter than I said "Part of being a Parent is preparing kids for your death". He's not happy about it, but if it should occur, at least he knows I'm happy and had a great life and he was a great part of it and I love him very much. Just that simple thought would have done some good for the twelve year old me.
Wise words. I genuinely appreciate it. Lived much of my life in a daydream, this helps me wake up a bit.
If you haven’t already I strongly encourage any one to surrender and put all their faith in Jesus Christ and our father. I lost my mother this year on Easter Day due to an accidental overdose. We had a really close relationship. Felt like I’ve known her for centuries but couldn’t even spend my 21st birthday with her or my wife and I’s 1 year anniversary. I turned to Jesus shortly after and trusted him and he’s shown me love like no one else has or ever will. He heals all and there is nothing out of reach or out of his power.
@@Manakazi thanks, sounds like you might have some experience with this. Not an easy topic and unusual place to have it, but I was listening to Matt and it struck me as a good problem to have. Far better than losing a parent early or worse losing a child ever. I know it's the problem I'd prefer.
Your 12 year old self must have been thinking "ok dad, can we acknowledge what is happening here, even just for a minute?" I can only imagine how torturous it must be even after all these years to know that he passed away before you could address the elephant in the room.
Hmmmm at 12 my father broke into the house (he had been ordered to leave by a judge a few weeks earlier) after his shift bartending. He was screaming about raping my mother and then killing us all...........I ran into the bedroom and tackled him on the bed while he was loading a 12 gauge.
#FuckCancer
Great Interview! Matt just has this ‘ Sincere Human’ WAY about him....
Yes! That is so true.
i am going through something similar with my dad, thanx for sharing that story.
Keep strong
I send you a big virtual hug wherever you are 🙆
hope you're okay
been there with both parents .. it's a fight of emotions ..best of luck .take one day at a time
Father God, send peace & love & compassion to them. Give them help & wisdom & please Lord Jesus bring your salvation to them before they go. You died for everyone's sins so we dont have to pay the price. I ask for them to understand and accept it. In your precious name. Aman
I saw the movie last Sunday. I noticed how Matt was able to not over-play his part to the point I thought he was under-stating the charismatic power of Shelby. Now I understand. I hope when I go that I go quickly so my kids won't suffer to long. Of course none of us have options when it comes to end of life. One fo the things I've always respected about Matt is he is so grounded. Now I know where that came from. he still refers to his father as, "My Dad". That term still brings tears to my eyes when I associate it with my two grown Sons. Theres' a lot of love in that, coming from a mature man. R.I.P. to his "Dad".
There is a special on Netflix about Carroll Shelby called Shelby American it’s a must watch
Brett C Thankz!
Also on netflix "The 24 hour war" documentary about Ford v Ferrari
Brett C thanks man I’ll check it out!
@@wakichunu Great doc. Glad they interviewed AJ Baime who wrote the fantastic book "Go Like Hell" about the same subject
Thank you I didn’t know this
I've seen the movie 3 times now and I haven't regretted seeing it any time.
3:32 when the coin that was spinning almost stops spinning
LOL !
roflamo
I can't say of which movie is his best work. He is definitely one of the best writers/actor of our time. I wish him longevity
So much love for this man and this show.
Also, go see Ford v Ferrari if you haven’t! Just saw it today and it blew away my expectations. It was SO great!!
I’m fairly new to this channel. I’m fascinated by people who have the ability to put people at ease and just chat with them(hard to explain my point). I know a guy like that and he’s the same way. Put him in any room and he can carry on an interesting conversation, laugh. Carry on or whatever. It’s a great ability imo.
I've now lost both of my parents, and, yes, as Matt says in this interview, it's something I'll deal with forever. It's not the same as feeling 'haunted' by a bad experience, but it makes you *_ponder_* a lot...
Finally some honesty. Respect to Matt for sharing real personal and private details of what an actor must go through despite their circumstances.
Great honesty! Shows that he has extreme self confidence to open up like this 👍
So very hard to lose your dad. So very sorry for his loss and he was so blessed to be able to spend those days with him. He will be so glad he did that in the days to come. You can’t get the time you spend with the ones you love and he must be quite a good man to do that for his dad.
So happy that *Kimmel* let him out of his room to do this one.
@Tom Reedy Oh come on Tom, be nice.
musoangelo Yeah Tommy boy be nice you fantastic hump
😆
Matt: I get it, i spent a few years with my dad on and off in the hospital, and dont regret one minute, and now getting back into work too. No regrets.
The fact that Matt Damon of anyone can feel insecure really makes me feel a little better. As horrible as that sounds, but it's just sort of calming to know that he can feel that too
It's a problem of our strange attitude to celebrity.
We expect too much of movie stars in particular. We expect them to be like the people they play in films. They're not. We think we know them. We don't. We deify them until they put a foot wrong, and then we crucify them.
I don't really know why all of this is, except that there are whole industries that depend on maintaining the myth that celebrities are somehow 'other', that they sit above the rest of us. They don't, though. In the end they are just people doing a job, like you or me.
@@miked1869 I prefer the old Roman attitude to actors
being the opposite of who you are in real life on that day. crazy concept. awesome to hear he gets nervous still too
One of the best movies I’ve seen as of late. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Matt Damon is such an authentic person. Very humble & organic
Watch some of his condescending rants. Nothing humble about Damon.
wrong
I always enjoy hearing Matt speaking. So sincere and down to the point. Honest. Relatable.
Thanks Matt.
Wow. Brilliant, thanks for this. I lost my Dad 3 years ago. Things were going decently acting wise but it really knocked me and since then I've barely auditioned. This is so relatable (apart from the being in a blockbuster bit hehe ) and I feel strangely hopeful now. Thanks again
Wow. This interview was really inspiring to me. Thank you.
This should be way bigger great interviewer in Sam and so many candid interviews with big time movie peeps
What a great interview with Matt Damon! He has crushed it in every move i have ever seen him in.
I'd rather see Matt Damon play Shelby than have Tom Cruise put his spin on the American icon. Matt did a really good job.
As an English teacher whose job it is to have my students enjoy every lesson, I can empathise with actors portraying e.g. a happy, and joyful character when you are feeling the exact opposite. How many times over my 25 year career, so far, I have had students say, "You're always so happy!"... Right.
"I took two years off" wtf? I can't even get 2 days off
Ninja Tortoise he has a net worth of $120 million. He can basically do what he wants.
uly roth lmao that’s not true. People don’t start acting in high school bc they’re thinking about the money they can make 15 years from now. Most actors are passionate about their craft, the money is just a plus.
uly roth
That's a very American perspective where acting is considered one of several talents along with presenting, singing, comedy, and meant to be packaged up in a box of celebrity status that you can sell to media companies and increase your overall market value.
Other countries have a history of acting as its own discipline and its own reward. They have a theatre culture, a radio play culture - hell even amateur dramatics societies still exist.
@Tropic Lightning
That was really disappointing cos I was looking for an actual Freudian slip.
And frankly our culture is looking pretty inferior and embarrassing these days with Brexit serving the same function as a furball that refuses to be expelled from our body politic, despite the repeated stomach retching.
Which brings us full circle back to Matt Damon, where in an interview a decade ago he wondered out loud about increasing anti-intellectualism in his culture and how the hell anyone could think Sarah Palin was an appropriate choice for VP.
If your Dad dies and you have a crisis you have to quit your job.
Between Matt Damon, Christian Bale, and those race car scenes I am so much wanting a Mustang...... most coolest movie I’ve seen in years.
I just lost my dad in October to cancer and I’m still reeling from the loss. I wish I could take some time off but I can’t because of “life”. But believe me if I could run away four 2 years I would, just grab the wife and kid and fuck off from everything.
Know the feeling..
Same
Freeman 77 i’m sorry you’re going through that, even though we don’t know each other, I went through what you just have when I was 17. I am 48 now, but I can remember very well the pain that you’re feeling. Best wishes to you in this difficult time. It might seem callous of me to say but time heals-or at least makes the pain subside a little. Take care.
these interviews are soooo great.
better than anything else out there. not sure who samnjones is but he gets these folks to open up. love them.
Hands down, these are some of the best interviews out there.
Nice to hear an actor expressing himself honestly and without his ego being huge. I’m new to this channel, but saw “Ford vs Ferrari” last night. I liked it-the dramatic movie part that changed the facts around weren’t so bad that they took away from the film. I’m well aware of the facts of the story being a big fan of Sports car/F1 racing...and a big Shelby fan. I’m looking forward to watching the whole interview, thanks for sharing this post.
I am sorry to hear about your suffering. Take life lightly. Change is life.
Matt, two of your scenes were just that Carrol Shelby- the piece in the aftermath of Ken Miles crash and death and meeting Peter on the street next to his home. I never met Shelby, but grew up in Houston and his shadow was huge in the car nut world. I think you did good- one comment; cowboy hat wearers never set the hat down on it's brim- always brim up! Other than that you brought life to a very complicated and singularly occupied man- when Shelby was told he couldn't race anymore it about tore him up. I don't think he ever envisioned himself as a "sports car designer". Nor did he ever want to pick a fight with H2! FR
Had the unique opportunity to meet both Carroll & Matt . I worked for Shelby's Co. In 89.. And Matt during filming this movie.. Both regular people, both highly admired for accomplishments Iin their Respected fields..
Great honest talk. Really appreciated it :)
Tbh, he should have won an Oscar. It was an incredible performance
I just saw this movie. The story it told was really a story of a bond between brothers, a story of man vs the limits of nature and physics, and the story of some cowboys who upset the establishment in an elite sport . I already loved the story of Carroll Shelby. This just romanticized it just a little more. I also had never really thought about Ken miles. Matt Damon and Christian Bale both really gave life to the performances. I also loved that it wasn't another feminist mary sue story. It was truly a story about men.
I felt this way when I was teaching middle school. Preparation is everything and many times i went in not ready and unsure I was supposed to be there. Unlike Damon, I lost
Always comes across as a genuine guy. Which I'm sure he is just that 👍
This movie must have been so difficult.
His insight into his performance is absolutely fascinating
As an Aspie, I relate to this. Every day of my life is an act. At the moments when I need to be most upbeat and professional, I'm feeling like curling up in bed and shutting out the world.
Losing his pop is still very raw for him. I get the impression his dad suffered at the end.
both did really well, just got back from watching and it was awesome
When did he take 2 years off? Feels like we’ve always had Matt Damon movies out every single year
Yeah, been wondering the exact same thing.
Hmmmm,
Hard to tell that Matt was struggling with any kind of confidence issues !
I had the great opportunity to spend time with Carroll, and I have to tell you,
Matt has picked up on so many of Carroll's mannerism and overall character traits !
I had my doubts going into the film, but was sold within just a few minutes !
I was absolutely impressed !
Knowing this now,
even more impressive !
Good meaningful interview, hope he spends more time in australia. Ford vs Ferarri fantastic film!
This is a great interview. Way to go sam Jones. Keep it up
"He could sell... you know...you know, could sell anything to anybody.". That was Damon trying to get the point across w/o potentially offending anybody. The wheels were turning...
Bl00dwerK - I got the same sense. He had a couple of scenarios in his head and was, like, “It’s not worth the inevitable hassle”.
Igloos to Eskimos
@@Farquad76.547
yeah. don't say "happy holidays" or they will melt all over you.
I think it was probably more that he just couldn't think of something specific to use as an example in that moment.
Lots of comments here about "you can't do this anymore, or you can't do that anymore". You can do whatever you want people. You don't have to cave to the snowflakes. You have the option of taking a stand and not giving a shit if you offend anybody. Being "PC" is not a requirement, it's a choice. I personally think it's all bullshit. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
Quite a look behind the curtain of an actors thoughts. He was great in the film. Heart goes out to Mat for the lose of his father.
He was fantastic in this movie. I just watched it again last night.
Matt, Once you lose your folks, once you put them in the ground. You understand their sacrifice. Your feelings of loss, of being totally alone, of realizing so many things...Their trials, their tribulations. You start to question the meaning of life. You begin to realize how little time we have. How many things we have wasted our life on. This is why the older you get you become the older quiet guy in the room. Enjoy your folks while you have them. Sorry to hear about your fathers passing. Matt, you have not wasted your life and you are not ridiculious. You have made some amazing movies and given minds something to ponder. Your first big movIe, GWH, the ending, you know the meaning of life. Do the best you can with what you got.
Actors are human too. all the more amazing, such great performance by Matt Damon in this Movie!
Losing someone that close to you is mind altering...It really helps to channel them and remember them at their best, and imagine them standing next to you and encouraging whatever you're creating to turn out what is best for you and YOUR loved ones...You have the ability to interact with your lost loved one in real time. They are just as much a part of you as your own mind...If you loved them, you know EXACTLY how they thought; Think to yourself; "What would She/He say about this?"...It helps...From someone that's lost a youngest sister, murdered by someone I called a brother,who killed himself, and loved no less...And 6 other "brothers" in 5 years...
Very tough losing your Dad. Different grieving process for everyone. Wishing Matt all the best.
At least you got to say goodbye. Nothing worse than a 3 am call, and the years of wishing you had an hour to say goodbye.
I just saw Ford Vs. Ferrari this past Friday. I enjoyed it a lot. I plan on seeing it again. Matt Damon is my favorite. No matter what role he takes on I feel he lets part of himself shine through. He's a genuine guy and in Hollywood that's not so common.
Carroll Shelby had a crapton of insecurities and fears. On various occasions, he'd lost races, racing teams, a driving career, and sponsorships on nothing more than a twist of fate, health, or simply the whim of an owner or manufacturer. He was constantly selling because he knew that at any second, people could stop buying for no other reason than their mood or the day of the week.
Nice baseball commercial!
One of the ast best movies out of Hollywood in the last years. No politics or man bashing junk just good action and acting
Great flick..amazing period of time .all the manufacturer's. Went full out..
It's rare that I can go into a film and have it "turn" me 180 degrees from my preconceived bias. This film did that. First of all, I thought the title was just plain "stupid". Secondly, the subject matter is something that I have little interest in. It turned out that Damon and Bale both gave great performances and made it work, and work really well. I'm not going to say it made my top 10 of all time, but it's a fun watch, and has enough emotional wallop to make it "rewatchable". It's exists somewhere in that "very good to excellent" band, some unexpectedly satisfying character exploration and a number of fun "set pieces", too.
Matt, you killed it, dude!
Because of the story I'm wanting to see it.
Sorry about your dad. Great movie, great job, great co-star, great chemistry. You nailed it kid.
This reads like the beginning of a novel actually
Skipped Charlie's Angels and seen it twice for this Masterpiece!
Honestly, I was never a big fan of him. I liked him in films like 'Good Will Hunting' and 'The Departed', but that's about it. But he was so so good in 'Ford v Ferrari'. I mean, Bale was extraordinary but Damon held his own. Fantastic.
Both he and Christian Bale knocked it out of the park in this movie.
great movie well done mate
I'm just glad that Damon finally did a good movie again. His last good movie was The Martian, Downsizing and Suburbicon were not good movies.
The Martian wasn't all that...
@@jshepard152 It was 10 times better than Downsizing or Suburbicon and that's not up for debate.
@@joemckim1183
I didn't see those but Downsizing looked awful.
Thx for your honesty Matt...FYI, Ford v Ferrari is amazing...
It's kinda cute how they each dressed up as a pole smokers from Boston for this sit down.
Amazing movie
Great movie
I've seen this interview before???
"I took 2 years off", wish I could lol
"You know."
- Matt Damon
Based upon the British Lola Mk6. No mention of the original designers.
Damon is a class act. Ford V Ferrari was great. He and Bale should have been nominated.
When a door slowly opens in a horror movie: 3:32
That genuine insecurity is what gave him the emotional ability to be a convincing actor when Christian Bale‘s character died. Matt might question his performance in that role, but I don’t... Matt nailed it! 😎
The Christian Bale character dies. Thanks for the head's up!
Some context for why it was Boston Red Sox day for the interview?
There was a scene in Good Will Hunting where Matt is wearing a Shelby jacket! Did he KNOW the future?
Yeah I agree....what is the point of life
the metaphor your looking for Matt is, "He could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves."
*off camera w sam jones* still goes on camera
He really resembles Mark Walburg in black and white.
It’s Boston thing
@@shaybrown7087 thats a good thing, actually, Walburg is hawt
