    Matt Damon’s cute and it def shows in his movies of the past. But I must say I am a little bit concerned of the weight gain that he’s made in this recent film. Yea, watch the weight Matt. Don’t wanna lose what I used to hold near and dear to my heart.

  2. Lupe Says:

    LOL I completely agree with you! Matt is or used to be hot depending on his current state. I have to say that I prefer him with the body he had in BOURNE. Either way, fat, skinny, fit, Matt’s a great actor! Can’t wait to see his newest movie!
