Selice 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2004 Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to the endBy Angela BaldassarreActor Matt Damon has admitted that he'll probably grow old with best pal Ben Affleck rather than the woman of his dreams.In a recent interview, Damon said he believed in his long-term friendship with Affleck and added: "I can well imagine growing old with him."He also said that it was unlikely a woman would come between them. "My longest relationship with a woman [actress Winona Ryder] lasted two and a half years. That's very short when I consider how long I've been friends with Ben," he said.Damon at one time was also romantically linked to actress Minnie Driver.The actor, who wrote and starred in “Good Will Hunting” together with Affleck, also stood by his best mate during his engagement and subsequent break-up to Jennifer Lopez."Despite all the rumours, I liked and still do like Jennifer Lopez. I would never judge the woman at Ben's side and expect the same from him," said Damon.Damon will be starring next in Terry Gilliam’s “The Brothers Grimm” opposite Heath Ledger.

princess 1,712 Report post Posted October 16, 2004 Here's the quote that made me laugh from Cosmo Nov 04 Issue: Q: What's the weirdest thing a femal fan has said to you? A: The funniest thing was when this woman walked up to me and said, "Matt Damon," and I said, "Yeah," and she said, "I have to say, I never got it. I saw all of your movies and I just never got what was so great about you." And I went, "Oh, all right, I'm sorry to hear that." And she said, "But then I saw that Bourne Identity, and for the last month, I've been touching myself and thinking of nothing but you." I think I'll stick this in Fan Behavior thread too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted December 7, 2004 Damon Begged for Smaller 'Ocean's' Role imdb.com Matt Damon begged producers of forthcoming sequel Ocean's Twelve to make sure his role as Linus Caldwell was just as small as it had been in the 2001 original. Damon spent most of this year filming in Europe - he began shooting Ocean's Twelve immediately after he wrapped The Bourne Supremacy . Damon says, "I actually asked for a smaller part this time around. I wanted to do less work because I had just come off The Bourne Supremacy and I was tired." Despite the actor's protests, producers George Clooney, Jerry Weintraub and Steven Soderbergh insisted Caldwell have more screen time. Clooney jokes, "Matt showed up and told us he had this big hit sequel under his belt so we'd need him to sell our picture. We had no choice but to give him a bigger part."

princess 1,712 Report post Posted March 26, 2005 pagesixsixsix.comIt's been a while since we had a SIGHting, but we make up for it today with not one but two celebs spotted - EATING! Yes, they were actually consuming food.Says a reader, "Went to Indochine last night and proceeded to be blinded by star wattage. I'm practically making love to my crispy shrimp appetizer (it was that good) when who do I see but everyone's favorite Bahstin hunk (no, not that bloated Ben Assfuck, er I mean Affleck), Matt Damon. Looking delicious in a long-sleeve baseball tee and ski cap, this boy is one smokin' piece of filet mignon.Apparently, Matt had to wait for a table (am I more VIP than Will Hunting?) so he chilled barside with his blokes . Finally, my group finishes up our food and booze and as we are getting coats and doing our last pee run (cocktails, bottle of champagne and 2 bottles of wine and your bladder would be screaming for mercy too!), we spy everyone's favorite lawn gnome anxiously waiting to get our table...Ben Stiller.

cydonia 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 Damon gears up for cycling champion biopic Staff and agencies Tuesday July 26, 2005 Guardian Unlimited Matt Damon is in talks to star in a film about the life of seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong, according to US reports. Sports channel ESPN 2 reported the Oscar-winning actor was Armstrong's own preferred choice to play him in the long-proposed movie, which is expected to be based on Armstrong's biography It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life. According to US film site Ain't It Cool News, Damon is a biking enthusiast and more than keen to get in shape for what would be a physically demanding role. Armstrong discovered that he had testicular cancer, which had spread to his brain and lungs, in 1996. After surgery and aggressive chemotherapy he returned to cycling in 1997 and two years later won his first Tour de France, as the lead rider of the US Postal Service team. He then repeated his victory for a record-breaking five years in a row before winning for a seventh and final time earlier this month. Armstrong's harrowing account of discovering and beating cancer, which was cowritten by Sally Jenkins, won the William Hill sports book of the year award in 2000 and a sequel, Every Second Counts, was published in 2003.
