Matt Damon Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Ocean’s 8 director Gary Ross, who also co-wrote the film, was asked about why Matt Damon‘s cameo was cut from the film.

Matt was supposed to reprise his role as Linus Caldwell from the original Ocean’s Eleven films in the female-led reboot, in theaters now.

“There were a lot of people who were gracious to us that just for editorial and storytelling reasons didn’t make it in and some who did,” Gary told THR. “If you know, we ended up shooting probably another 10 days afterwards, so there’s a lot of material and a lot of shaping. But it really just comes to storytelling.”

Matt Damon reportedly won’t be in Ocean’s 8 when fans see it in theaters this weekend.

The 47-year-old actor was spotted making his way through LAX airport on Friday (June 8) in Los Angeles.

“I only worked for a day. They asked me to do it and I really wanted to support the project and support these awesome actresses. This is a movie about the women,” he told the Toronto Sun.

Although Matt hasn’t officially said anything about the film since its release, fans who have seen the film haven’t noticed a cameo from Matt.

“I didn’t think that was right. I understood what he was saying. He was completely compassionate about what was going with people who are raping, but it’s not the same as what’s going on with people who are joking around on a set,” she told Katie Couric in a podcast episode on Thursday (May 24).

“You have to differentiate between what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable. The dialogue has been opened, finally, after all these years. The reason the pendulum swung so far was that women, it’s been bubbling under the surface and this tiny little opening happened, and we all just ran out of that one ripped seam.”

“I think what’s important to remember is that there is also women who abuse their power. This whole movement, I feel, has been bubbling under the surface for years … It’s just the beginning.”
