OlderMatt Damon - “GQ” August 2007
Bourne-again hottie Matt Damon takes the August 2007 cover of GQ magazine and expresses Barack >>> Hilary.
On his 08′ political preferences: If [Barack] was the face of America, it would mitigate a lot of problems in the world. [Clinton] so f***ing smart, isn’t she? I always liked her. But I’m just not interested in a leader who can’t admit that they even made a mistake in the first place. That’s what we’ve been dealing with for seven years now.
On wishing her could vote for Al Gore: “[An Incovenient Truth producer] Scott Burns told me he sat in a room with Gore, and Gore was talking about the state of the world and actually started crying. Like, literally.”
On he and Ben Affleck getting their first big paycheck after selling the script for Good Will Hunting: We both bought Jeep Grand Cherokees. It was funny, because Ben and I, we both always wanted a Jeep Grand Cherokee for some reason. That was the car. We always talked about it but never could afford one. So when we suddenly had the money, we each instantly started trying to convince each other to get a different car. We’d say, ‘Hey, have you seen the Explorer? The Ford Explorer is really cool.’ Because we knew it would just be so gay to get the same car.
On why not commenting on his personal life makes him a better actor: The better the actor, the less you know about his life. “I mean, nobody’s better than De Niro, and you don’t know anything about him, right?” Look at Meryl. We don’t know st about Meryl. Look at Clint. And Jack. And Brando. Marlon Brando—who f*ing knows, right?

I love Matt…luv his smile, and I always thought he is sexy. Read the entire article before you decide to call someone stupid. Obama becomimg President will infact change certain things in America. He’s a very good actor. I don’t think he was referring to B&A about the personal life in the public eye comment.
You lost respect for Matt cause him and Ben got the same car? Um LAME!
Matt seems like one of the most normal people in Hollywood, and I respect that he’s trying to have a normal life despite the stardom.
He’s right, a lot of the best actors aren’t in the tabloids, but it seems like the stars that get the most publicity either have controversial private lives and/or make themselves available to being photographed by papparazzi.
Brad will never live it down that he left America’s sweetheart for bad-girl Angelina, who is now trying desperately for a halo herself with her UN and adoption efforts.
Matt Damon is the greatest actor of our generation.

America’s sweetheart…are you kidding me. Now that’s sh (T is funny. I needed a good laugh to start my day. I’m not a guy, but i’m sure that any man will take a “bad-girl” with personality over a bore like your “America’s sweetheart”.
not to be a prude, but I wish I could read one interview where he doesn’t say f&^k. Lately, every one I read he uses it multiple times. I mean it’s like an adjective for him it seems…that gets old. Time to clean that mouth up a little especially with a baby in the house.

LOL. You need to get your dates straight. Angelina adopted and started her work with the U.N. in 2001/2002. Quite a few years before she started a relationship with Brad. Not after the fact. You just didn’t pay attention to her until after they started a relationship. Huge difference. Get out more.
I read the article and two things bugged me: He is SO thin-skinned–he memorizes his bad reviews and obsesses over them. Even when they were from years ago. Even when just little thing was bad and the rest of the article was good. Can’t let go of anything. Next thing was that he told the same story in the same way that Ben A. did in that book that came out about Miramax a couple of years ago…hey Matt your friend told that story years ago think of another one. Also all those actors he said you never hear about are OLD. Believe me, in his day Marlon Brando and Clint Eastwood were in the tabloids constantly. Clint has like 6 kids and only 2 are not ******** back when people cared about that kind of thing. Same with Brando knocking up all his maids.
He should realize people want to hear about his marriage and kid because hearing someone talk about their politics or the movie they just made is boring.
we know brad had 4 kids, 3 adopted and 1 biological. he’s dating angelina jolie where they met on the set of mr. and mrs. smith i’d say we know a heck of a lot about his personal life. the tabloids surely didn’t make that up. they acutally new they were dating way before they made it known to the public that they were a couple. i rmemeber seeing tabloid covers with them on the front and at the time they both were denying it.
I like Matt, but what’s with using ‘F’ word in every other response? Clean it up matt and this Fan will like you more.
Thanks,
He looks amazing in those photos, damn fu*kin gorgeous, hes intelligent and i respect him and hes low-key which is which is v.good. My Fave Actor (along with Jake Gyllenhaal)
and whoever said he dated Gisele, he never did that was Leo Dicaprio.
A Certain Smile ditto on your post.
On the Hillary comment it is not that he wont support a woman, he wont support someone that STILL believes we should be in the unjust war.
I love me some Matt. And I mean Madly
I love Luci too.
to #39, we know brad and angie have four kids the same way we know how many kids jen garner, julia roberts and all the many other actors out there have. what should they do hide their kids to keep their lives private. as a matter of fact we know matt has i bio baby and a step-daughter. how does he think we knew these little snippets if he didnt talk. also, he was on david letterman recently and was relating a little anecdote about his daughter when they were travelling by plane. lets face it, matt knows that his life does not elicit a lot of interest, so he is just being a little bitchy, and probably envious too- who knows.
I love me some Matt Damon, He is an excellent actor, and not a media *****

Oh, please Bit#h, Angie was doing UN/Charity work, and adopting LONG before Brad kicked that Fug Man face Chinny to the curb

ITA with you. I’m surprised that no one else on this site caught on to him using that word in such a manner given that he seems to be the type of guy who would be more sensitive about such things.
Matt and Ben are both intellegent guys and they’ve both made mistakes like all the rest of us, and like the rest of us everything they’ve done hasn’t been successful. I still love them.
So glad I’m not the only one who dislikes Giselle.
Well what so called actors do not keep their business to themself, I guess the winner would be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. If we get one more interview from Angelina talking about Brad and those kids, I think even Paramount will bar her from the grounds. There is nothing left to tell us about Brad, ok sweetie. So this would make the two of them the worse actors in hollywood. Can we finally get the next movie out there, so they can officially be thrown out of the business, once the movies bomb, again. Bring on their final coffin, Please, Please.
please he is not a good actor, in my opinion he has a very low selfsteem first he goes and marries a bartender from miami club bar, called crobar them he gets a baby with her.someone he meet in a bar .hello! how.my brother knows that women she is a h…. how can he there to have that stupid smile on his face.
oh by the way the horse look alike girl is not gisele.he looks like a pig with big nose and his girl looks like a rat…
i dislike him because he is a looser who goes and tells the world to give and think abaout the poor people of africa. the guy has a 10million dollar house in miami beach ,why can he give 9 million to the poor africans and buy a 1million dollar house.think abaout it hot shot .don’t be a shep like other actors who tell the world they give their share of the pie when in reality they wants others to do it. we the public have these idiots rich buying tickets to see there stupid muvies when they don’t deserve not even 2minutes of our time. wedon’t even know these people.please everybody give the price of ur ticket to his movie to the africans in africa.. he will be happy since he saids he cares abaout he poors.
mandy, i have heard julia roberts on oprah talking about her children and how much she loves her husband. recently jennifer garner has done magazine interviews where she has talked about her family. same goes for madonna and numerous others. so please stop criticsing brad and angie. i am very sorry for you because brad and angie will be around for a long time, so you better get used to it. IDIOT
Hooowwlll! Matt Damon is the man. Look at that SMILE! Been reading all the buzz about him and he is pretty buzzing with energy and fame right now. Great for him. I met him once in New York, visited him at his condo. Great person to know. Smart, friendly, guy next door type. He’s gonna remain in the scene for a while, I can tell. He needs to get rid of loser Afleck. (picture a duck here saying Afleck). He’ll just be a bad influence. Can’t wait for the next movie. And look out on PBS, he’s going to be an Animated Bear. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
