Matt Damon’s “Sexy” Title Fears
Matt Damon is worried he has lost his title as the sexiest man alive – after piling on the pounds for his latest role in “The Informant“.
“The Bourne Ultimatum” star — who was given the honour last year by People magazine — joked the 20 to 30lbs he gained for Steven Soderbergh‘s upcoming thriller “The Informant” may disqualify him from the position.
He said:
“I think I lost my (Sexiest Man Alive) title.”
The former heartthrob – who won an Oscar for co-writing ‘Good Will Hunting’ with close friend Ben Affleck – also revealed he really enjoyed piling on the pounds for the role.
He tells People.com:
“It wasn’t necessarily that I needed to be fat. It was that I needed to be doughy. I just stopped working out and basically just ate whatever I wanted. I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, drank a lot of beer and basically had a great time. When you’re in your 20s you can do that kind of stuff. When you’re in your 30s, it’s a whole different ball game.”
Meanwhile, best friend Ben Affleck tells the website:
“Some things are just self-evident and don’t even require making fun of. I mean, the man buys two seats on an airplane!”
