@@Maaden84 actually some smart dudes have indeed calculated that cost. It came out to like 8-900 billion dollars or so, with the mission in interstellar being the most expensive
I love that instead of breaking down his characters, Matt talks about his co-stars or directors or writers or stunt team and praises everybody. Tells more about him as a person. Love that guy.
He sounds like a humble dude. Apparently he mows his own lawn. Greatest movie star of this generation IMO. As great as Leo DiCaprio is he couldn’t pull off being an action star like Matt. Matt brought Jason Bourne to life.
I’ve heard countless stories about people that have had encounters with Damon; Every single one-was about him being the nicest guy ever. Literally, every one of them.
Yeah for real you can tell that he’s a humble person and that he doesn’t take very much credit for what he does but Matt Damon is one of my favorite actors
I'm kind of surprised by how down to earth and likeable Matt Damon is. Nothing but good things to say about everyone he's worked with .Honest and humble. You're a good guy, Matt!
I’ve met a few ‘celebrities’ and most are nice people but a few are really genuine down to earth people who make you feel welcome, Matt Damon is one of them but I have to also say that Dwayne Johnson, Keanu Reeves and Elijah Wood are also incredibly polite, humble and friendly. There’s 3 celebrities I’ve met though that are just not nice people with a horrible ‘do you know who I am’ attitude.
I really like the fact that Matt basically speaks more about others, than about himself a true humble guy most Hollywood big names could really take notes
@@nixhixx how is he homophobic? And if it's something he said pre 2012 I could probably care less. Also don't pull some trump card because my parents couldnt get married for 2 decades in this country
I had almost forgotten how many exceptionally great movies he's in. I can't think of another actor who's consistently starred in films of this caliber. What an incredible career.
On an unrelated note: I would love it if they did one of these for Robin Williams, but have his kids, wife, friends, colleagues etc share their stories and experiences of working with him. Like have Matt Damon or Ben Affleck talk about Good Will Hunting, Mara Wilson or Sally Field could talk about Mrs Doubtfire, Dustin Hoffman or Steven Spielberg could talk about Hook, Al Pacino or Christopher Nolan could talk about Insomnia, Kirsten Dunst could talk about Jumanji, his daughter could talk about Aladdin, that kind of thing. Idk, hearing Matt Damon talk about Good Will Hunting just reminded me how much I miss him.
Oh! Gosh you just gave words to my thoughts, that would be more than amazing to see their expressions, listen their words, understanding their emotions. Please do this sort of experiments and videos more. Very thoughtful of you @Hayden
Or how about the fact that he's played basically every level of military personnel in WWII movies over the years. A no one Private to a high ranking General in Oppenheimer.

If I'm not wrong it's his friend or something like that that made it. Edit. I just read up about it and it was his old Harvard buddies that called him and asked and he was already in Prague and did it.
I have binge watched your Jason Bourne trilogy a couple of times.The intensity of the character ,the various locations and the fast paced action scenes will never get old.
I don't mind Jeremy Reiner to continue, he brought his own style. I just like the plot of ex CIA getting hunt around the globe without fancy gegets and being a womenizer
@@___beyondhorizon4664 oh absolutely! And the beauty of Jeremy Reiner’s film is that you can watch it as a totally stand alone story. Love him in that as well😍
Never understimate Damon's Jason Bourne trilogy because it revolutionized action movies forever. Besides they are very good movies, they're probably the most credible action movies EVER. Not to mention that hundreds of movies have copied Bourne stunts afterwards and that deserves recognition.
It revolutionized fight scenes in the west. That sort of thing was and is the bread and butter in Hong Kong kung fu flicks. Now it's just throw a punch and cut to the villain getting hit.
A true professional: He understands everyone's contribution and the importance of respectful teamwork. Love how he humbly and with gratitude mentions names of the people who helped him.
Young Matt was absolutely blessed when having taken that leap of faith with screen writing for Good Will Hunting and casted Robbin Williams (he's gifted and played that card strategically). Man really shined and he got that recognition that soon.
It's been said a bunch in here but im going to say it one more time...its amazing how little he spends actually talking about himself and his characters. He has such admiration for everyone he's ever worked with and wants to talk about them instead. Really refreshing to see a completely humble movie star.
The Bourne trilogy will go down as one of my favorite action trilogies ever. Everything about those movies is great and Matt Damon does a fantastic job playing the amnesiac badass spy/assassin
@Ed Hopper, No one else can play Jason Bourne besides Matt Damon, you can have different people play James Bond, but the role of Jason Bourne belongs to Matt and to him only.
Matt Damon is truly a national treasure; great actor, humble, family man and appears to be an all around nice guy. I watch and rewatch his movies but I wished he would have talked about, We Bought a Zoo. I still laugh at the same scenes and shed tears at others. Keep entertaining us Matt.
The most telling thing for me about this video, which was supposed to be all about Matt, was just how much he talked about his co-stars and the great jobs they did. A truly humble guy.
Speaking of hindsight, Damon was offered the lead role in Avatar for 10% of the total revenue, but declined.. because he wanted to be associated with Jason Bourne. No seriously, look it up.
I’ve heard countless stories about people that have had encounters with Damon; Every single one-was about him being the nicest guy ever. Literally, every one of them.
yes i can back that up. i was going to be in a talk show audience where matt was appearing and i knew there might be a chance to see/meet him when he arrived through the parking lot. there was a small group of fans out on the street corner waiting to wave at matt as he drove into the lot. i was driving by at the time and i see this big black SUV pull over and stop at the curb where the fans were gathered...it was him. so i hoped out of my car and ran over. he was there talking to the small group and i walked up and he was very kind and sincere. thinking back i wish i would have carried on the conversation a little longer because I am sure he would have easily allowed it.
Matt- my favourite actor of all time. He is always at one with every role he plays. Intelligent, humble, honest and so naturally gifted. Love him in every movie. Love watching his interviews too.
A few years back Matt Damon was asked about looking back at working on Rounders so I guess because that interview exists already they didn't think to ask him about it
@@robertbuth i saw all this Bonus Stuff on the DVD back then anyway still is one of his most iconic roles and I am sure he talked about some of the other movie's before in interviews too so whats the point of this video then? 🤔
Interesting how Matt Damon was in two genre defining films (Private Ryan and the Bourne franchise). Both films changed how Hollywood made films of those genres and there he was. Matt is truly one of those actors that you can tell is such great guy.
He's worked with so many legendary directors too. Edward Zwick, Francis Ford Coppola, Gus Van Sant, Steven Spielberg, Anthony Minghella, Kevin Smith, Frank Darabont, Steven Soderbergh, Robert Redford, Doug Liman, Paul Greengrass, Stephen Gaghan, Billy Bob Thornton, Robert De Niro, The Farley Brothers, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, The Coen Brothers, Cameron Crowe, Neill Blomkamp, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Alexander Payne, Taika Waititi and James Mangold.
Rudy Bayliss in The Rainmaker - so great, as he is in every single movie beginning with Good Will Hunting. I love owning these DVDs as I feel I support the making of other Matt Damon flicks. Ford vs. Farrari and sooooo many more - what an actor.
The best performance of his career in my opinion, The Departed as a close 2nd. Crazy how despite his A list action star status, and how lively and charismatic he is, he is at his best portraying seedy, wolf in sheep's clothes characters.
He is next cast in Nolan's next film about Robert J Oppenheimer. I think the title will be called Oppenheimer but that can ways change Another one who is joining is Robert Downey Jr
@@mattdamonlive1223 I adored so many of your films, but I have never seen The talented Mr ripley. I think that came out in a dark time in my life and I just couldn't watch anything too complex or dark.
I didn’t exactly to expect it to be included with how many incredible projects he’s been a part of BUT We Bought a Zoo? That is such an incredible story in grief and healing. LOVE IT
The Talented Mr. Ripley is one of my all time favorite movies, everything about it just hits perfectly. Matt Damon is absolutely incredible in it, it was the movie that made me realize how talented he is, pardon the pun.
I watched it for the fifth time two nights ago. It was riveting. One of the few times you feel guilty for realising that, by the end, you're rooting for the villain, when you shouldn't be.
@@Revelian1982 oh my gosh yesssss that’s the best. I totally know what you mean, it’s like a sick kind of pleasure the moment you realize….and then Marge is off on her way! Man now I feel like I need to watch it again haha
I'm always a sucker for spy movies and to me the Bourne trilogy is great not only because of the scenario but also of the physicality of the fights and chases scenes, grounded in real techniques. Plus Matt is of course great !
What a Career he's had! One of the best of his generation, no doubt about it. Right up there with the likes of Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio and others.
The movie Stuck on You he did with Greg Kinnear is such an underrated comedy. I was really hoping it'd pop up on this list, but with such an impressive resumé under his belt I can understand why it wouldn't.
Rounders, Green Zone, Hereafter, The Monuments Men. This video could have easily been 40mins. Thanks you Sir for the good performances you've given us.
I seen the Departed for the first time at 16 and in high school. I loved it so much I told and showed any and every person I could. Still to this day my favorite movie.
He talks more about his co-stars talent and contributions than his own...it's amazing 👏 Also... Good to see Loki alive and well after that whole Jersey incident
wow. one forgets how many truly GREAT films he's been in, and the way he is able to honestly and lovingly talk about the process (with humor!) shows you what a super cool human being he is
I could listen to him talk about his roles all day, seems like such a humble, genuine guy who has complete passion and admiration for acting and the film industry.
Wouldn’t Matt Damon be an awesome friend to have/! Love that guy. Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun. I was also curious to hear him talk about Stuck on You but maybe that’s for next time.
@@valinorean4816 Yeah it is although I’ve heard folk just use the more direct “DILF” for that. (The silver tends to refer specifically to a man whose hair has now actually turned grey.)
I would’ve liked a lightning round covering his cameos like Eurotrip, Thor: Ragnarok, Deadpool 2, No Sudden Move, etc. The dude loves popping up unexpectedly in movies.
He seems to be a very nice guy and he has worked with a lot of awesome directors: Spielberg, Nolan, Ridley Scott, James Mangold. Congratulations Matt Damon 👏🏻👏🏻
I don't want to be cliche' but, read the book. The story is way more in depth and intense and detailed. I had read it about a month before the movie launched and, surprisingly, it helped me enjoy the movie that much more. Sure things are a little different but you get into the characters head in the book in a way you can't with a movie...but as an audience member you can take that into the film with you and it enhances it. Just my opinion.
This guy has had these directors Sodenbergh, Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Nolan, Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Coen brothers, Greengrass, Clooney, Francis Ford Coppola, De Niro...... Nothing else needs to be said.
Of all the movies he's made, Rounders probably changed more people's lives than the rest. As odd as it sounds, Rounders got a lot of people into poker. When Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP Main Event, that's credited with the huge poker boom. Well, he really got serious about poker after watching Rounders. No Rounders, no Moneymaker poker boom. Poker in general would be much smaller now if not for Rounders.
I owe Matt Damon a debt of gratitude. If it weren’t for “Ripely”, I’m not sure if my love for traveling would’ve ever started. That film made me want to go to Europe.
@@dbanks5732 I've seen it many times and been to all those places too, and more! Glad you made it! Hopefully after the pandemic gets better we can get back to world travel.🥺
@@keelahrose I hope so. I went to the Canary Islands in 2019. Like to redo Barcelona. Went in the early 2000’s but still feel I didn’t do as much as I could.
I remember meeting Matt when he was filming in Avalon, PA for the movie "Promised Land" (it was about fracking, great movie that doesn't really pick a side of the debate). He was so down to earth and didn't treat any of the extras (which were all locals) like the hillbillies we're often portrayed as.
I'm a bit sad he didn't talk about We bought a zoo, it's one of my go-to feel good movies. This guy always has something so nonchalant about his acting which makes his movies a pleasure to watch.
A lot of money and effort has gone into rescuing him: Saving Private Ryan, The Martian, Interstellar...

First time I saw The Departed my jaw dropped to the floor when Leo got shot, honestly one of the biggest surprises I’ve seen in a movie!
The departed just broke my heart.
Check out Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong movie that The Departed is based off of
Unless you'd seen the original Infernal Affairs beforehand then you seen it coming but in that movie it was definitely a surprise.
Man, it's crazy to think that Mat is 50 already. Time has sure flew by. He's worked with so many legendary actors/actresses.
He looks super old. It all depends on genes and whatever, but jesus christ he looks like a 60 year old dude
@@donsmith3590 Just his hair. He's still looks good. No one can be 20 forever.
@@donsmith3590 was going to say the same thing, he looks pretty rough for 50..
He's worked with so many legendary directors too. Edward Zwick, Francis Ford Coppola, Gus Van Sant, Steven Spielberg, Anthony Minghella, Kevin Smith, Frank Darabont, Steven Soderbergh, Robert Redford, Doug Liman, Paul Greengrass, Stephen Gaghan, Billy Bob Thornton, Robert De Niro, The Farley Brothers, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, The Coen Brothers, Cameron Crowe, Neill Blomkamp, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Alexander Payne, Taika Waititi and James Mangold.
@@donsmith3590 You're nuts. Dude looks good for 50.
Rudy Bayliss in The Rainmaker - so great, as he is in every single movie beginning with Good Will Hunting. I love owning these DVDs as I feel I support the making of other Matt Damon flicks. Ford vs. Farrari and sooooo many more - what an actor.
His acting in Talented Mr. Ripley was on point
Amazing movie !!!
The best performance of his career in my opinion, The Departed as a close 2nd. Crazy how despite his A list action star status, and how lively and charismatic he is, he is at his best portraying seedy, wolf in sheep's clothes characters.
true, i think it was his best performance so far! it is my favorite but sooo underrated
I know his role wasn’t as big in Interstellar but I would love to hear him talk about that movie and working with Nolan
Well it's in the chats now, so maybe he'll get back to us 😅
Right, love the movie and the cast. Matt killed it when I first saw it in 70mm
100%!
He is next cast in Nolan's next film about Robert J Oppenheimer. I think the title will be called Oppenheimer but that can ways change
Another one who is joining is Robert Downey Jr
The Talented Mr Ripley is one of the most perfect films I’ve ever seen. Acting, scoring, cinematography. It’s Matt’s best performance.
Thank you so much for your love and support towards my movies🧡
@@mattdamonlive1223 I adored so many of your films, but I have never seen The talented Mr ripley. I think that came out in a dark time in my life and I just couldn't watch anything too complex or dark.
One of my faves
agree its gets better more than you watch it
@@mattdamonlive1223 it's kinda weird to impersonate another human ?
Matt has an aura of well grounded, humble, personal and exceptionally intelligent person! Lucky we have him❤
I didn’t exactly to expect it to be included with how many incredible projects he’s been a part of BUT We Bought a Zoo? That is such an incredible story in grief and healing. LOVE IT
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
@@mattdamon5156 MATT DAMON!? WOW!!
Best mcu crossover ever
Are you one of my fans
@@mattdamon8483 no
despite stardom, he still comes across as down to earth - kind of professionalism through humility
he's the one A lister to be repeatedly typecasted as a humble little chap and a damsel in distress to save
The Talented Mr. Ripley is one of my all time favorite movies, everything about it just hits perfectly. Matt Damon is absolutely incredible in it, it was the movie that made me realize how talented he is, pardon the pun.
I preferred his role as Loki in Dogma. Or as himself in any of the Jay and Silent Bob movies.
@@calebsloan8531 Dogma was so freakin good, good call
Really? I thought he did a great job in that movie, but it is my least favorite of all his films.
I watched it for the fifth time two nights ago. It was riveting. One of the few times you feel guilty for realising that, by the end, you're rooting for the villain, when you shouldn't be.
@@Revelian1982 oh my gosh yesssss that’s the best. I totally know what you mean, it’s like a sick kind of pleasure the moment you realize….and then Marge is off on her way! Man now I feel like I need to watch it again haha
I'm always a sucker for spy movies and to me the Bourne trilogy is great not only because of the scenario but also of the physicality of the fights and chases scenes, grounded in real techniques. Plus Matt is of course great !
I love the way he explains everything, so brief, but so captivating. Always liked that about him.
What a Career he's had! One of the best of his generation, no doubt about it. Right up there with the likes of Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio and others.
YO he is not gonna talk about his biggest roll ever? Eurotrip is a masterpiece and that song is timeless
Scotty just doesn't know
Scott Mechlowicz?
Scotty doesn't know
That was the only reason I watched disappointed
Was going to write the same thing. That was a legendary role, between Scotty and Fiona!
The Bourne series is genuinely one of the finest film series ever made
They forgot his stellar performance as Donny in EuroTrip. Absolutely magnificent
hahahaha
Scotty doesn’t know
@@andrewmorris4628 i second the scotty doesnt know cameo!
That scene is so hilarious, so random.
Agreed. "I did her on his birthday" was hilariously savage.
The movie Stuck on You he did with Greg Kinnear is such an underrated comedy. I was really hoping it'd pop up on this list, but with such an impressive resumé under his belt I can understand why it wouldn't.
Hearing MD say: "write in the chat, however you say it kids" made me feel so old!!
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
He will forever be Jason Bourne. All Bourne movies are unique without a doubt
They changed action movies forever.
Rounders, Green Zone, Hereafter, The Monuments Men. This video could have easily been 40mins. Thanks you Sir for the good performances you've given us.
@Vincent H. Im gonna say that most people doesnt even know it exist, bad marketing maybe? I really like it :)
Yeah would love to hear about Rounders, maybe some John Malkovich story :)
@Vincent H. - because it was boring and patronizing.
@@Maaden84 Here is a good story about Matt Damon and John Malkovitch
ua-cam.com/video/KMaAT_KPSs4/v-deo.html
I'd say the Bourne identity, goodwill hunting and the Martian were definitely his most iconic roles. The Martian especially
I appreciated his part in Team America: World Police.
It’s his deepest role.
Me too
Is he still part of the Film Actors Guild?
sAMUEL L JACkson.
Matt Damon!
Matt Damon became such a professional, we can hear the experience and knowledge by the way he speaks!
He should direct and write more.
I seen the Departed for the first time at 16 and in high school. I loved it so much I told and showed any and every person I could. Still to this day my favorite movie.
You're a cop
Why not mention his role in "Jimmy Kimmel Live" playing himself gave the character life
been scrolling trying to find something about Jimmy kimmel, thank you
Yes!! Some of my favorite Kimmel skits.
Omg those skits are hilarious. When my ex met Matt out of all the roles he could have mentioned it was those.
Because Jimmy Kimmel is a tool that just needs to go away
@@kevin1873 true...and the other jimmy. Late night needs to go really...we miss you Conan
He talks more about his co-stars talent and contributions than his own...it's amazing 👏
Also...
Good to see Loki alive and well after that whole Jersey incident
they all got old now, memories....
wow. one forgets how many truly GREAT films he's been in, and the way he is able to honestly and lovingly talk about the process (with humor!) shows you what a super cool human being he is
Lovingly is key, isn't it.
I could listen to him talk about his roles all day, seems like such a humble, genuine guy who has complete passion and admiration for acting and the film industry.
He's such an amazing guy. His acting in every movie is fantastic.
Just watched Saving Private Ryan and loved it!!
Emogoesboom I wish Matt Damon would make another Bourne film
It's a fantastic movie. I've watched it several times.
@@emilio2647 no thanks, the 2016 one wasn't very good
A person who genuinely loves his profession and protects his family. So fun to watch. Kudos, Matt.
Love his praise for Robin. Truly a one-of-a-kind man.
Wouldn’t Matt Damon be an awesome friend to have/! Love that guy. Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun. I was also curious to hear him talk about Stuck on You but maybe that’s for next time.
Can watch him in anything. He’s brilliant in Stillwater. (I also applaud his transition into the silver fox phase.)
Definitely a good (and realistic) transition, indeed.
That was a good movie, I didn’t know he was in a new movie until I saw his pic in the cover I immediately downloaded the movie 🍿
never heard the phrase silver fox. i'm guessing it's the male equivalent of MILF?
@@valinorean4816
Yeah it is although I’ve heard folk just use the more direct “DILF” for that. (The silver tends to refer specifically to a man whose hair has now actually turned grey.)
Loved the way he said, “Write it in the chats, or however you kids do it.” Wholesome father figure vibes 😁.
I love how humble he is about that scene in 'The Martian'. "Great directing." As if he's not an incredible actor.
Love how he passes credit to everyone but himself. Seems really humble.
I would’ve liked a lightning round covering his cameos like Eurotrip, Thor: Ragnarok, Deadpool 2, No Sudden Move, etc. The dude loves popping up unexpectedly in movies.
There was no chance of that when he has worked with so many top directors, some gems were left out of here too.
There are those Tv cameos too like House of Lies, Will and Grace....
Unsane ! How weird when he suddenly appeared , totally untitled
DP2?
@@passiveagressive4983 he has a very small cameo alongside Alan Tudyk. There’s no way you’d know it was them unless it was pointed out to you.
I love him. He just seems so kind and humble and grateful for all he's experienced.
His performance in Team America was amazing too, underrated for sure
Matt.Damon.
Matt DayMòne! 🤣
He seems to be a very nice guy and he has worked with a lot of awesome directors: Spielberg, Nolan, Ridley Scott, James Mangold. Congratulations Matt Damon 👏🏻👏🏻
The Martian has grown into one of my favorite movies of all time. It's just so well done.
@Capri Not if you watch it in 3D!
I don't want to be cliche' but, read the book. The story is way more in depth and intense and detailed. I had read it about a month before the movie launched and, surprisingly, it helped me enjoy the movie that much more. Sure things are a little different but you get into the characters head in the book in a way you can't with a movie...but as an audience member you can take that into the film with you and it enhances it. Just my opinion.
What I really love about Matt Damon is his ability to play a likeable good guy and a despicable bad guy with equal skill.
This guy has had these directors Sodenbergh, Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Nolan, Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Coen brothers, Greengrass, Clooney, Francis Ford Coppola, De Niro...... Nothing else needs to be said.
I wish Tarantino and James Cameron would soon be on that list
@@risavsahu4666 Cameron doesn't belong on the same list as these guys
He could have been in Avatar but I forget why, but Cameron could have been added to that list of honours. Still time
Nothing short of amazing here! Just pure talent talking about why it IS talent and proving why we should listen! Loved every minute of this interview!
Matt Damon has one of the greatest career in modern movie history. He's a incredible actor and so humble. Not a surprise that he got so successful.
It's crazy how many good movies he's been in. I was sad that Rounders wasn't discussed.
The Informant another great movie that didn't get mentioned either, only have so much time in these videos so you can't cover everything.
I was hoping for Dogma and Rounders
@@joemckim1183 The Informant was so boring, I fell asleep during it
Rounders is such an awesome movie…
Of all the movies he's made, Rounders probably changed more people's lives than the rest. As odd as it sounds, Rounders got a lot of people into poker. When Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP Main Event, that's credited with the huge poker boom. Well, he really got serious about poker after watching Rounders. No Rounders, no Moneymaker poker boom. Poker in general would be much smaller now if not for Rounders.
The fact that he talked about being an advocate for the kids in each movie, more than the movie itself, says a lot about his character.
Just a PR move but yeah...
@@vb8428 He was a young kid actor.
@@vb8428 Don't be so cynical.
Ugh I remember finding The Bourne Identity dvd in my parents’ collection and becoming mesmerize. Such a good franchise 👏🏾
I'm so pleased he seems genuinely nice, having really enjoyed his acting.
I owe Matt Damon a debt of gratitude. If it weren’t for “Ripely”, I’m not sure if my love for traveling would’ve ever started. That film made me want to go to Europe.
Did you go?
Oh did I. Spurred me to see Rome, Spain, France…. If you’ve never seen the film it’ll have you reaching for your passport.
@@dbanks5732 I've seen it many times and been to all those places too, and more! Glad you made it! Hopefully after the pandemic gets better we can get back to world travel.🥺
@@keelahrose I hope so. I went to the Canary Islands in 2019. Like to redo Barcelona. Went in the early 2000’s but still feel I didn’t do as much as I could.
@@dbanks5732 GAWD I love Barcelona.
“write it in the chats or what it is you kids do.”
why is such a dad. i love him.
I love The Talented Mr Ripley. It's a masterpice. A great movie.
Matt Damon's one of our great living actors. His humility is so real, it's almost annoying. Love that guy.
And the best botanist on Mars!
Why though have this comment got copied a week after it was written?
By two fake accounts of supposedly "hot women". Lol scammers are trying everything
All that fight training you did leading up to The Bourne Identity paid off....you were monstrously convincing in every single action scene
Just rewatched The Departed recently and remembered how amazing it really is.
I remember meeting Matt when he was filming in Avalon, PA for the movie "Promised Land" (it was about fracking, great movie that doesn't really pick a side of the debate). He was so down to earth and didn't treat any of the extras (which were all locals) like the hillbillies we're often portrayed as.
I'm a bit sad he didn't talk about We bought a zoo, it's one of my go-to feel good movies. This guy always has something so nonchalant about his acting which makes his movies a pleasure to watch.
Not only among the best actors of his generation, but a really good guy to boot. Definitely one of my favorite actors!
i love how they did this outside the studio.
Wow--I love this actor even more. Thank you for your brilliance and authenticity. Wishing you abundant blessings, Mr. Damon.
