Movie Preview: Matt Damon Is a Hilarious Informant
This trailer for the comedy The Informant has, I think, given me perma-grin. A slightly chubbier Matt Damon portrays Mark Whitacre, a real-life "Ivy League Ph.D. who was a rising star at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in the early 1990s.
Matt Damon's '08 Hawaii a Little Different Than '07 Trip
Matt Damon showed off his good golf form and, um, interesting physique filming The Informant in Hawaii yesterday. This is a far cry in the hotness department from the last time we saw Matt on the islands — he's hard at work filming rather than getting back to those surf lessons from one year ago. That being said, we still appreciate a look at that beach body, even if it's not the toned one we're used to from him.
Fat Matt Lets It All Hang Out, Including His Big Heart
Here's some bad news for you all: It turns out that Matt Damon hasn't been wearing a fat suit on the set of The Informant after all. Our beloved Bourne hottie showed off his not-so-beach-ready beer belly on the set in Hawaii yesterday. We're not too worried though, since we know it's for a role (a la Clooney in Syriana — Oscar time for Matt?) and our Sexiest Man Alive will be back soon enough.
Matt Damon Is a Happy Celtics Fan in a Cool Cat Hat
Matt Damon grabbed a soda on the way to work on The Informant in LA earlier this week, and we're thankful to catch a glimpse of cute regular Matt before slipping back into that fat suit and mustache. He might be spending his days in character, but last night he had to be cheering on his Celtics and celebrating as they devoured the Lakers for the NBA title. Even if he couldn't make it back to Boston for courtside seats, the big win should put a spring in Matt's step as he heads off to another day of work.
Matt Damon Is Fat But Still Powerful
Matt Damon may not be looking his best on the set of The Informant but he's had a super successful year as a sexy man and now one of Forbes' Most Powerful Celebrities. He is 51 on the list, which is close to where he fell out on the 2007 PopSugar 100. Our new list for 2008 is about to be revealed and it's a good thing all the calculations were in before these new pictures came out.
Matt Damon Is Unfortunately Still Keeping Us Informed
Matt Damon was back in his ugly business-casual duds on the set of The Informant in LA yesterday. We're glad he spared us that gross facial hair this time around, especially since you all feel the same way about mustaches as we do. This had better be one good movie, because it's going to take a lot of amazing acting from Matt to keep us distracted from those pleated pants and that feathered hair when he's up on the big screen.
Matt Damon and a Mustache Don't Go Well Together
So much for the sexiest man alive. Matt Damon showed that he can look like a pudgy, midwest corporate exec at some huge company, and it ain't pretty. The usually cute in that baby-faced sort of way actor was not looking his finest on the set of The Informant in LA yesterday.
