Matt Damon isn’t the flashiest actor out there, but that’s why we love him. He’s played one of the best new action heroes of the past several decades in the Bourne Identity films, had a hand in a number of under-the-radar indies, as well as delivered strong performances in a number of high-caliber films like True Grit, The Departed, and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
And yet, he’s never seemed to let it go to his head, and even though he’s starred in a number of very commercial films, it never feels like he’s doing it for a paycheck. Despite his love of privacy, Matt opened up to Playboy about a number of topics, ranging from his marriage to the prominent roles he’s passed up to what it’s like to make out with Michael Douglas (in a movie).
