Speaker A
>> I read somewhere that you're afraid of heights, and I thought that's not possible. Because I've seen you do too many cool stunts where it looked like you couldn't [music] possibly be afraid of heights.
Speaker A
>> Yeah, I didn't know that I was afraid of heights till I had dinner with Tom Cruise like years ago after he did that thing out out of the building. I kind of cornered him and I said, "Hey, tell me
Speaker A
about this. Like, I'm afraid of heights. How did you do this thing?" He was like, 'cause he really wanted to talk about it.
Speaker A
He said, "I've been dreaming of this shot for 15 years of this sequence, and finally I had a chance to do it." I goes, "Well, so how did it come to pass?" And he was, "Okay. Okay. So, I go
Speaker A
to the safety guy. I tell him this is what I'm going to do. This is what I'm going to explain the whole the whole the whole gag to him.
Speaker A
The safety guy says, 'You can't do that.' He goes, 'That's too dangerous.' And I'm like, 'Uh-huh. Uh-huh.' And he goes, 'So, I get another safety guy.'" >> [laughter] >> Actors usually rely on hair and makeup to look better for a role. Matt Damon
Speaker A
used his to look worse, and it worked a little too well. >> There's, you know, the wardrobe and the hair and makeup. I had a a wig that I'm a pretty bad one that I'm wearing. It's like, you know, it's it's
Speaker A
kind of two-tone and I got a I got a uh kind of a fake nose because he didn't want any hard edges 'cause the character is an informant, but he is dishonest about all of his activities. So, he's
Speaker A
your narrator, but he's a very unreliable narrator. >> You're telling me that that was a a wig and you also had a prosthetic nose.
Speaker A
>> Prosthetic nose and then I had some things to put in my cheeks to kind of plump them out a little bit.
Speaker A
>> Really? >> I did worry about that. I couldn't really eat with the things in. But actually, we were in Decatur, Illinois and every day after work there were people who would come down to watch the filming and I'd go and talk to them and
Speaker A
literally every day somebody would come up to me and say, "You are so much better looking in person than you are in the" >> [laughter] >> Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have one of Hollywood's greatest friendships and the
Speaker A
story of how it started is surprisingly unexpected. >> Did you ever get in any fights as a kid?
Speaker A
>> We had a snow day at school, so we would all meet in in the Cambridge common and and play tackle football. I mouthed off to a kid that I knew. He but he was he was like your height. He was like 6'6".
Speaker A
>> Right. >> And I might have been 5'3" at the time. And and I said something I I had I had I scored on him or something and I I don't know. I said something, but I but he he
Speaker A
came for me and it was like this mountain of a guy came at me and I was like, "Oh man." And it was right then that little 5'2" Ben Affleck tackled this dude off of me.
Speaker A
>> Wow. >> Like out of nowhere. I was like a junior and he was like a freshman. And so, that was the end of it. And the kid was reasonable and he was like, "All right, I'm not fighting you. All right,
Speaker A
let's let's play." But I remember that was like a big moment going like this guy is like he will he will put himself in a really bad spot for me. Like this is a good friend.
Speaker A
>> And he will be Batman. >> [laughter] >> But no friendship this iconic comes without a little friendly rivalry.
