I'm so glad he mentioned Elliott Smith. Such a legend.
elliott smith, robin williams, and matt damon are all legends. to have them all in one movie is such a blessing.
This is why Matt Damon will always be my favorite actor. So humble and kind and i love that
thewait08 wish he played Bats instead of BatFlake lol
Probably because he’s so humble and kind and you love that
I love how real Matt got when he spoke about Good Will Hunting. It just shows how much that movie meant, and still means to him -A truly beautiful movie, by two of the finest actors of our time. Stay humble and kind Matt, a true talent :)
R.I.P. Elliot and Robin. I was waiting for the Robin mention, but for some reason was floored he also gave a shout out to Elliot.
Elliott was fucking ROBBED at the Oscars
so sweet that he mentioned elliott. i love elliott, matt and robin so much and i’m happy to hear matt mention them. rest in peace elliott smith and robin williams.
Matt being open about his feeling is really strong.
2:58 Matt getting emotional. He really cared about Robin.
and Elliott :(
I have always loved Matt Damon (Spirit was my favorite movie when I was little), but I have a newfound respect and admiration for him after this interview.
Thanks Matt,
He is aging beautifully! Gorgeous man! Seems kind and smart too! :)
Man I miss Robin Williams.
I think Matt Damon handled talking about Weinstein and the fact that he's a successful actor now even though they worked together in the past far better than any other guest Stephen has had involving the sexual harassment/misconduct stories recently.
Behind his sometimes goofy, shy facade, there lurks an intensely humane, caring, funny and self-effacing genius.
The Weinstein comment probably would've been better left unsaid. I agree Damon is talented and I like his movies. However, I think his comment was a ploy to distance himself from Weinstein's behavior (and horrible person, in general) so he wouldn't lose points with the public. I find it really hard to believe, given his position and movie making history in Hollywood, he didn't have know about Weinstein. Damon may have not known the level of depravity but he knew enough and should've stepped forward far earlier than he did. I'm not a hater, just facts.
@@jenniferwilcox9759 You don't actually KNOW the facts with Damon and Weinstein...so they are NOT in fact, facts. It's all a hypothesis on your part...which is fine. But it doesn't actually mean it's correct. He addressed several things all at once.
@@jenniferwilcox9759 facts without any evidence
@@jenniferwilcox9759 Matt never pretended or intended to be a hero. 😂 He heard something from Ben Affleck, that is all he knew. Who would have believed him back in 1999? The internet only got started by then...
You could see and hear the emotion when he talks about revisiting the park bench. He kept it under control...but just barely. That was such an incredible scene in the movie...I've watched it over and over through the years and still marvel at both of their performances - especially Robin's masterful speech. Matt's character quips at the start "Is this like a Taster's Choice moment between guys?" and then Robin proceeds to deliver the most incredible dialogue ever in a film. I also loved his performance in What Dreams May Come. RIP Robin Williams. But kudos to Matt and Ben for the amazing work creating GWH.
Matt is really an amazing guy. That Oscar was very well deserved!
give me a fucking break dude.
Time4 Truth ok he knew, but at the same time Harvey gave Matt and Ben what they basically have today. Yeah FUUUUUUCCCKKKK Harvey Weinstein seriously the dude’s a piece of fucking shit, but if Matt and Ben went to the dude and did Good Will and then said fuck you you pedo fuck is kind of like biting the hand that fed them. So they kept their mouths shut, saying if they’ve known about Harvey back in the day. If they did dude, think of it from their point of view. They probably had an idea of what went on, but again think of it from their point of view
This clip is one of the few times where the best part is Stephen keeping quiet and letting one of the more thoughtful and smart people of the planet speak.
Stephen has a way of doing that- he's a good interviewer.
Stephen lets his guests talk all the time, unless if they don't have much to say, then he'll fill in the pauses. That means you haven't really watched his show
EQ-smoove -He didn't say one of the smartest; he said one of the smarter. Which I think is fair. Matt Damon seems to be a fairly intelligent person (I could be mistaken...I haven't extensively watched interviews etc, but that's the impression that I get)
ROYAL REBEL -Can't speak for Ken but I didn't perceive his comment the same way. I didn't sense that he was saying it was rare for Steven to not talk; I heard him say that it's rare when Steven *not talking* is the best part. In other words, it was both a compliment to Steven and Matt Damon (if my perception is correct)
Ken Ramsley. well said
One of the smartest guys in Hollywood
I loved "Good Will Hunting." for many reasons.
It was hard to see it again after Robin had passed (RIP).
But continued a marvelous experience in acting and truth-telling.
Love this dude. Humble, does his job, goes home and enjoys a normal life.
I love Matt Damon. He comes across as a person with a good heart and has a great sense of humor. This movie looks like so much fun and with Jason Sudakis and Matt Damon, it will be.
Jason is in it for under 10 minutes.
D*mn cutting onions! Robin Williams RIP too soon man!
manikantan r have you ever seen his flic The Final Cut.. that was an awesome movie and great performance from Robin
and rest in peace elliott smith
Matt Damon is the coolest.
Nicolas Gerlach Agreed
I hope he really is this unassuming, humble, and friendly guy that he always comes off as. Younger actors, hell, even older ones needed to take a note 📝 from his playbook.
My god. Did Matt blush at watching his own clip? He *IS* the humble genius.
*Jimmy Kimmel Triggered*
Hahahahaha Why would Jimmy Kimmel be Triggered
I wish Stephen had asked Matt about his Thor: Ragnarok cameo. It was hilarious!
He’s so honest and amazing! Good will hunting will always be one of my favourites 😊
Wonderful to see a host keep his mouth shut and listen to his guest.
RIP Elliott Smith. RIP Robin Williams.
We miss you Elliott :(
Colbert is the best interviewer out of all of the late night hosts.
S C .....ehhhh, thats a stretch. I feel like after Matt said all those personel feelings about Good Will Hunting colliding, Stephen couldve said so much more. It was a little awkward to just say he loved the movie AGAIN. (I love stephen but thats a stretch of a statement)
keith brockway I can't imagine kimmel and definitely not Fallon getting this side of him.
I can....Kimmels his really good friend. (If only he didnt get snubbed everynight...)
Only because of Craig Ferguson 'taking a hike' from his own show...man, what a piss-poor decision that was!
Gerry Nightingale I miss Craig :( Corden just feels like Fallon all over again and is definitely a step down.
And to be fair to Stephen (replying to different comment), he had to still promote Downsizing and they sadly only have a certain amount of time per interview and have to cut down a lot on content... so it translates to an awkward pivot
I had no idea he wrote good will hunting. Super good movie
Matt Damon is the second nicest guy in Hollywood, after Tom Hanks :)
duchesswannabe Keanu Reeves
He mentioned Elliott Smith, So i guess I love him now
what a great interview. Steven did a phantastic job
he always seems like such a nice guy.
Great interview.
Elliot Smith!💔
*Elliott
Matt Damon is one of my all time favourites
If Fallon was doing the interview, then he would've interrupted Matt Damon at least 5 times during his speech and included a game to play.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm a fan of Fallon as well.
Hammad Ali Fallon is absolute trash. Terrible late night host. Kimmel and Conan are both better.
still better than that Scottish guy. now there is real piece of crap.
I freaking loved Downsizing ok. I just watched it and I don’t see what everyone is complaining about.
it offended a lot of people's religion
It was boring. Just boring. That's why most people disliked it. But it was boring.
Same! It was not like anything I'd ever seen before. I appreciated the message, and the characters were real, and the music was perfect, and the acting was phenomenal!!!!
Same. For some reason it totally worked for me at a deep level.
key quote at 5:07 people, an American actually calling the "American Dream" unattainable! Cherish this moment my fellow Brits.... looooooool
RIP ROBIN WILLIAMS & ELLIOTT SMITH
This movie is so thought-provoking!
He left out Ben Affleck's indiscretions in the years that followed and that is actually fine by me - this is what a best friend should do!
You mean Ben or Casey’s
I love Matt Damon. He always comes across as just a guy who’s normal and isn’t all about the Hollywood madness. Any interview of him, he seems pretty authentic and a little shy. He wears his heart on his sleeve and just tells it like it is. Even he seems kinda surprised he’s so famous and doesn’t know how to be a celebrity 😂
Matt's really handsome. He really aged well. Thinking about his work with water.org, I want to think he's a great human being too, and I do.
Nice for Stephen to confirm GWH is "absolutely beautiful", and not politicize it like he does everything else.
Oh, the Micronauts. I read the book back in 1979. Love these "new" ideas ha ha 😀
I love Matt Damon. That is all,
I enjoyed this movie!
Though conversely, if everything was to be downsized, there would be room for a hell of a lot more people. Although it would take longer to fill the same amount of space with more people if they were downsized, the carbon footprint would eventually be the same.
6:15 Damon does a dead-on Canadian Goose call. Impressive.
he never made a movie that wasn't fantastic, well he has now
Boy i sure do like waiting til more than half the video to get to the part the title talks about
In that one movie. When Damon was working at the hardware store.
I wish he wouldn't have had to be nominated on the DiCaprio year. He should have (or, maybe rather, would have) won for Martian.
Rip Elliott Smith, definitely missed
Wouldnt they all just get eaten by cats?
THEY WOULD RETAIN HUMAN STRENGTH
Their muscles would shrink. It's not a super hero movie.
Drew Lovelyhell they get walled mini cities
Maybe all the cats get shrunk also? Hmm not sure.
That's actually a Manga plot...
Wow, I was thinking the exact same thing like a couple of months ago..now it's a movie.
Im surprised they didn't make a movie about Matt and Ben of the journey of making good will hunting
Scottie doesn't know! Scottie doesn't know!
I still say that cameo in EuroTrip was maybe one of his best moments! :)
Wow, I've never seen a Late Show clip with 272 views. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, always incredible individuals!
Just watched the movie and was great. The most important thing about this movie... don't take that popcorn with you at this movie, take your brain, you will enjoy to use it.
Watch the 'I go Norway too' scene - movie gold!
We need a sequel to Good Will Hunting !!!
No doubt Matt is one of the few Hollywood actors that I respect. 👍
There's a weird head bob thingy happening from tiny Jason Sudeikis right after he says "well, that' the thing...."
Matt Damon is one of the good guys.
Saw downsizing last Thursday. Pretty nuts, work checking out purely for its ambition
I saw Downsizing knowing nothing of it other than the trailer, and it completely backs up my opinion of marketers. While the movie was good on its own, it was nothing like what the one trailer I saw was. Still irritated by that one.
The plot of Downsizing sounds a lot like the short story by Chinese sci-fi author Liu Cixin, "The Micro-Age." It's a great story with a similar theme.
Three Cheesecake Factories?!!! Dang, I gotta move to Leisureland.
How nice is he
i love matt damon. what a role model
Matt Damon for President 2020 ... get out the vote
Downsizing was a movie about Matt Damon's career.
Your move chief.
A true gentleman! Matt Damon
Wow. He was nervous. Downsizing was overshadowed by Good Will Hunting. It flopped.
I own GWH! It IS a beautiful film...also Oceans, Departed, All Bourne's...
I legit want to see this movie
they had the script for 10 years but I've been day dreaming about it for 20. not being connected sucks :) o well I can't wait to see the movie.
Downsizing sounds like a horrible idea. Imagine how big all the animals will be, especially the insects...
“If people stop going to the movies I’m out of a job, and it’s really that simple.” Anybody else here during the COVID era? 😬
Thank you Matt for being such a strong climate change activist!
I'm pumped let's let the healing begin
I will never be your most favorite directors, I will shrank you.
Down sizing actually looks amazing.
He's nervous! aw
Legend of Bagger Vance
About 20 writers throughout CAA contributed to that script but Harvey kept that quiet.
Stephen: Good to see you again!
Matt: I hope so too
He said "Hope to see you again"....
Oops, my bad!
kind of disappointed they didn't shit on Kimmel...
Love Matt Damon
Is it just me or was Colbert a little snippy with the mayor? LOL
I wanna watch that movie, I'm sold!
The 104 dislike are Kimmel
Seems like a good guy
It seems Colbert thinks the Movie concept is lame...
The ending seemed awkward imo...i still want to see this movie
Good movie ❤️
Time to go to the beach.
I'm surprised that Jimmy Kimmel didn't come in and ruin the moment for Mat
how can their vocal cords still be strong enough to make sound as loud as the big persons....
