Matt Damon Archives

Here are some stills of Matt Damon and James Lipton on the set of Inside The Actors Studio. The episode they were filming is going to air January 8th, 2007 on Bravo (8-9PM EST).

Also, below is a video segment of Matt Damon on MSNBC’s Hardball saying that if a country must go to war then all people who are of age — like President Bush’s daughters — should also have to chip in and fight the war. The segment airs tomorrow (Monday) at 5PM and 7PM EST.

Damon says:

“I don’t think that it’s fair as I said before, that it seems like we have a fighting class in our country. That’s comprised of people who have to go for either financial reasons or — I don’t think that that is fair.

And if you’re gonna send people to war, ahh, if, if we all get together and decide we need to go to war, then that needs to be shared by everybody. You know, and if the President has daughters who are of age then maybe they should go too.”

Angelina Jolie will be on Larry King Live this Monday with The Good Shepherd co-star Matt Damon and director Robert De Niro. Here’s a little preview:

Larry King:: Are you gonna get married?
Angelina Jolie :: No…
LK :: I wish you lots of luck. Someone said you’re planning a Christmas wedding in South Africa.
AJ :: [giggles] No… but thank you for your support if I was. But I’m not.

LK :: You sold the pictures of your baby, right?
AJ :: We did for charity, yes.
LK :: Oh, it went to charity? And the money?
AJ :: Yeah. [The paparazzi] were gonna get that picture. They’re gonna get pictures of my kids unfortunately no matter what we do, so we chose to control it and give the money to charity and not paparazzi.

Angelina also addressed how Brad and she will handle raising kids as movie stars: “As we get older, maybe we’ll do less films. We’ll be less focused on [films] as our children hit their early teens or at times when it’s really, really on them. So this hopefully is as bad as it’s going to get for us. And we don’t raise our kids in Hollywood. They don’t go to sets every day. They travel the world and do many, many other things. So hopefully they don’t think this is just what their parents do for a living. They know many other things about who we are. … They’re restricted by they have a lot of other blessings. And like every parent, you just do the best you can with whichever situation you have.”

Larry King Live with Angie, Matt, and Robert airs Monday, Dec. 18 @ 9PM ET/PT on CNN. Watch the video preview here.

Matt Damon takes the cover of Details Magazine December 2006. We learn how the bullheaded boy form Boston, one of the most adored actors in Hollywood, went from overnight sensation to virtual recluse in just 10 years. Read the full article below! Some celebrities sounded off on Matt Damon in the cover article. There were praises galore…

• Ben Affleck: “Matt is rare in that he’s an actor who doesn’t like attention. He’s not really comfortable with it, or all that comfortable with himself for that matter. Any attention just makes him feel self-conscious. If he does something he doesn’t like, it will stay with him. And if you bring up something he did 10 years ago and he’ll be like, ‘Uggh, I ****ing hate that.’ It stays with him. Matt takes it harder than most.”
• Harvey Weinstein: “Matt Damon is my family.”
• Steven Soderbergh (on a voice mail): “Matty’s great, and ‘d just like to say so publicly.”
• Robert De Niro: “Matt was just terrific. He would always be there. He’d do whatever I asked. He’d be willing to try anything.
• ‘The Good Shepherd’ co-star Angelina Jolie: “Matt’s just a really solid, genuine guy. He’s very humble and straightforward. It’s what I expected because you honestly never hear a negative word about him in this town.”
• ‘Bourne Supremacy’ producer Frank Marshall: A lot of actors let the director or the script dictate everything. Matt takes it to another level.”
• George Clooney on Matt phoning his Italian bodyguard from Ocean’s Twelve—to see if there was anything he could do for him when he heard he had been in a serious car accident that took place two years after the movie wrapped: “He’s just that guy.”
