There’s a Bob Dylan interview somewhere where he says (I quote from memory), “When I pass a bar and look in the window, I see these people talking and joking and just being themselves, and I know, if I go in then it will suddenly be a bar where Bob Dylan has just walked in and everything will be different, everything will be centred on what Dylan says or does”. That’s fame, and that’s loneliness as well.

He seems to have great insight into his situation, which helps him stay grounded.
He's still looking great. Can't believe he's turning 50 this year.
He is a genuine man doing a great job as an actor and still remain down to earth.
He's basically saying stay humble and down to earth

facts
Most of us will NEVER meet Matt Damon. He is a fantastic actor and I am a fan. He knows us in a general sense, and I hope he truly is as grounded as he seems.
Was able to ask Matt a couple questions in a media line when I was an undergrad working for a school paper. He was promoting "Borne Ultimatum" and doing a fundraiser in Boise for a theater. Nicest guy - and I was crapping my pants in nervousness. Could not have been more professional and genuine.
I'm in the media. I met Matt Damon on a red carpet event in Sydney, Australia about 8 years ago. He was a genuinely nice guy. i saw him on another red carpet after that but I didn't get to speak to him on that occasion. Than I left Australia and moved to Detroit, Michigan to report on Detroit's bankruptcy... hopefully we'll meet again.
Movie crews just want to work.....love that ! So true it’s a job people ❤️
I am consistently impressed with this man.
My absolute favourite actor a talented nice guy. Matt and his family spend lockdown in Ireland the locals adopted him and his family he fitted in and thankfully they enjoyed their lockdown experience. Keep making great movies Matt 👏👏
Matt could always be a philosophy professor.
I love him as an actor and i respect him as a person. Thats all i can say
I'm going to thank Matt Damon for this sage wise words of wisdom so I'm keeping his advice as a big part of that
Just what I needed to hear right now 🤝
Such amazing advice! Thank you man!
Me encanta éste actor y cuando lo escucho hablar parece una persona sensata, es muy agradable

They say fame is fleeting but it can be deadly, too. His partner, Ben Affleck, received praise for his acting and directing. And the same media attacked him when he had personal problems. Being famous opens a person's life to the envious, hungry hunters of shame.

The idea of escaping public attention on the job, because movie people just want to work, is only partially true. In many cases the crews are instructed not to speak to the talent, and sometimes not even look at them. It's for a good reason, but it certainly does not reflect a "normal" social environment. It can be trying for the crew people to make a special effort to avoid the talent so as not to be perceived as stepping over the line and distracting them. Arnold Schwarzenneger was an exception - he genuinely enjoyed being around crews and was friendly with everybody.
Matt Damon is incredibly likeable.

Recalibrate?
Well said! Fame is definitely not for everyone. It takes a certain personality type to remain well-adjusted in spite of it. Most writers, who are generally introverts, would be horrified by the prospect of being thrust into the public eye and living under a microscope for the rest of their lives, even if people around them imagined this to be some kind of gift. Any producer worth their salt will tell you this. 🙄 #2341
And in some weird way you have to deal with a new reality that was always a dream.
When you're famous, after your career is over, you're still famous.
Is he still in Ireland? He was there for the covid lockdown.

MATT DAMON!
Rule 1: do not marry another celebrity.
Timely! For me, being ultra-famous made me a target.
I have almost 25k on Tiktok, and I have been told on several occasions on Tiktok that I am famous. I am at a cross road with this because I know for sure that there are many other people with a higher following than me, but at the same time I have a following. So, I don't know how to categorize myself.
There is a whole (at least) one generation that has no idea what "drinking the Kool Aid" means.
Both as serious about being calm substances as I am. Slow down in feel, ppl of 99. These obnoxious one station screen hoppers drive me to these eyes just to exhale. Get off my back, kokopeli in my radio space and trolling Mr while in hiding. You stink long time. Thank you for calming eye tension High men.

@R Charbs Whoa! Please ease off on the name-calling. How are they to know this was recorded pre-COVID-19 lockdown, especially if this is the first time they have viewed this channel? Matt Damon spent a significant amount of time in Ireland during the US shutdown, and only returned a few weeks ago. Although it appears they are 6 feet apart during this interview, it is unlikely (but not impossible) the interview was done at an earlier time.

Khufu built a big pyramid. He also left behind the smallest statue of himself as opposed to the others of his group who were doing the same. That means: you do big things, but you stay humble. Keanu has it right. Ride the train with the people. That's real life. He knows heartache. The Planet put him in the Matrix movies for us. He is also an echo anagram of Khufu. Yes, it's all numerical. The Pyramids of Giza/Sphinx are a RIDDLE. Rubix Cube. 80's were the echo of Khufu's reign. Listen to the songs of 1986 and you will hear him singing. Yes, I claim Egypt. 👽✔️✔️
I hate being famous. I'm really not an actor nor a people person. Fame is lame, money pays people OFF.
Jesus Christ, it’s Jason Bourne.
I would deal with Matt Damon's fame by sending him to Mars for real, without a script and no option to return, just to see what would _actually_ happen. That would finally give him a reason to be famous. I'd also like to send Tom Hanks on a one-way trip to a deserted island with a volleyball and nothing else, just to see what would _really_ happen. Would he survive for four years? No. Probably not even four minutes. But it would be worth watching, finally.

Look, Matt Damon knows more than anybody: Just do what Harvey Weinstein tells you to do. He did. And he doesn't regret it one bit.
Matt is the most phony “nice guy” in Hollywood
The world tries to tell you nonsense about yourself. But the Word of God says, "If any one thinks he is something, whereas he is nothing, he deceives himself." And also: "More and more, humble your pride. What awaits man is worms." Better the truth that hurts than falsehood that gratifies.

@Beeblebrox One It is the New Testament itself that states, "If any one thinks he is something, whereas he is nothing, he deceives himself." The point is that the only value we have is what God has given us, and we must never think that we merit our value on our own, or even think that what we do have is give for any kind of self-aggrandizement.
