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?

Wow i didn’t know he was that stupid!
But i still kinda like him
And am i first? or second?
Luv Matt, great actor an friend to good people.
Go Matt I will be there to see your movie always.
“On his 08′ political preferences: If [Barack] was the face of America, it would mitigate a lot of problems in the world.”
I like Matt but this quote is just plain STUPID. Exactly what problems does Matt think would lessen because a man of color is president?
Loves that he keeps his private life private!
Matt,looks so handsome on the cover especially when he smiles.
Sounds like a very intelligent guy..xoxoxoxo
I stopped being a fan of his when he hooked up with that fugly-looking horse-faced man-thing Gisele, made him look too stupid for his own good to want to f@ck something thst ugly.
re: the best actors keeping personal life out of the press — So what kind of actor does that make Ben??
Matt didn’t date gisele. Or did he? I think that was leonardo dicaprio that dated a model named gisele.
Is Matt saying that Brad is not a good actor since the public knows all about his personal life?

———–
Since when did he hook up with Gisele? Matt’s married.
I don’t think Matt is that good of an actor- I find his acting stoic. He will not be remembered as one of the greats.
i think he is great! hes so cute too!
He’s not interested in a leader who is a woman. Sexist pig.
First, the public does not know Brad’s personal life, they know the made-up, speculative tabloid crap.
Second, a man of color being President is unprecedented. It would say a lot about this country if people could truly look at what the person could truly bring. A man who was the first African-American editor of Law Review at Harvard. For you kiddies, being editor for law review in law school is a prestigious honor and only those w/ the intellectual grades are even considered.
Third, Matt is an intelligent man and he is right about the Obama comment. Also he is not a backstabber so this was not a comment on B & A.
Fourth, Matt is a great actor and can’t wait for The Bourne Ultimatum even though it has nothing to do w/ the books. For those who like to read (which is becoming a lost art) the bourne books are a great read.
Doesn’t he know Marlon Brando is dead?
He didnt date Gisele he dated Minnie Driver and Winona Ryder.
1.He’s not stupid. He went to Harvard.
2.He never dated Gisele.
3.He likes Obama because of his views and what he plans to do.
4.He doesn’t not like Hilary because she is a woman, read the article before you automatically asume things.
5.He’s good friends with Brad. Why would he insult him?
Matt is so Hot,he’s married now and I’m happy for him,but I would have dated him if gven a chance. He has only grown as an actor.
Love his movies.Good thing he is so smart about his life and people that he associates himself with.
Live and learn Matt that’s right. Think 4 your own dam self,form your own opinions. And don’t cry or tell all to Oprah.
Luv Matt his movie will be fab.
he never dated gisele.
my boyfriend leo dicaprio did – and i am stil mad at that.
matt said that about obama? i doubt that – if he did, then he needs to shut up.
ok, p.s., brad is waaaaaaaaaaay cuter!
Sweet Jesus. How is it that he got even better looking the minute he put that ring on? Love that he wears one.
I love matt, but that cover pic is not so much, they should have used one of the other pics. And I agree I like that matt keeps his private life private.
I like matt, hes low-profile. I concur with some of his opinions, and hes a hottie.
off-topic: when will we see more of jake gyllenhaal, I miss him.
Matt Damon is very moley! He is just not my type. Sorry
He’s always been my favorite. LOVE him.
” If [Barack] was the face of America, it would mitigate a lot of problems in the world. ”
Dumb.
Nobody cares about Deniro or streep because people they are not that interesting personalities, but it doesnt necessarily means becuse they are better actors. So he thinks he is like Deniro or brando or streep just because people dont really care bout him, i think this gut has got much of an ego as well and is being defensive why the tabs dont really write about him.
