Matt Damon Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

A lot of money and effort has gone into rescuing him: Saving Private Ryan, The Martian, Interstellar...

I really like the fact that Matt basically speaks more about others, than about himself a true humble guy most Hollywood big names could really take notes

I'm kind of surprised by how down to earth and likeable Matt Damon is. Nothing but good things to say about everyone he's worked with .Honest and humble. You're a good guy, Matt!

It warms my heart how literally every one of these interviews where an actor has worked with Robin Williams have the same resonance and respect for his soulful presence. All these years later, his stories and stardust still touch us and move us 🖤✨️

I love that instead of breaking down his characters, Matt talks about his co-stars or directors or writers or stunt team and praises everybody. Tells more about him as a person. Love that guy.

Every single film he talks about he praises more others than himself. That's the mark of an amazing person.

Talented Mr Ripley was one of the most haunting movies ever made. Iconic performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾

I had almost forgotten how many exceptionally great movies he's in. I can't think of another actor who's consistently starred in films of this caliber. What an incredible career.

On an unrelated note: I would love it if they did one of these for Robin Williams, but have his kids, wife, friends, colleagues etc share their stories and experiences of working with him. Like have Matt Damon or Ben Affleck talk about Good Will Hunting, Mara Wilson or Sally Field could talk about Mrs Doubtfire, Dustin Hoffman or Steven Spielberg could talk about Hook, Al Pacino or Christopher Nolan could talk about Insomnia, Kirsten Dunst could talk about Jumanji, his daughter could talk about Aladdin, that kind of thing. Idk, hearing Matt Damon talk about Good Will Hunting just reminded me how much I miss him.

I have binge watched your Jason Bourne trilogy a couple of times.The intensity of the character ,the various locations and the fast paced action scenes will never get old.

A true professional: He understands everyone's contribution and the importance of respectful teamwork. Love how he humbly and with gratitude mentions names of the people who helped him.

Good Will Hunting is absolute masterpiece of a movie

With the benefit of hindsight, the fact that they were worried about The Bourne Identity performing against Scooby-Doo is the funniest thing ever. 🤣

First time I saw The Departed my jaw dropped to the floor when Leo got shot, honestly one of the biggest surprises I’ve seen in a movie!

It's crazy that Damon is actually starting to look like the older version of his character in Saving Private Ryan

Damon is one of the most articulate , ego free and engaging actors around . Always enjoy his storytelling and insights into the movie business

It’s quite remarkable to see an actor of his A grade status being so devoid of ego. How he has remained at the forefront of Hollywood for so long, with that amount of wealth and fame and still come across as one of your closest mates is something I’ve always really admired him for.

We can’t forget about his performance in Thor 3 as Loki 😂😂

It's only when you stop and look back that you realise how many quality movies this guy has been in. He is a real star.

It's been said a bunch in here but im going to say it one more time...its amazing how little he spends actually talking about himself and his characters. He has such admiration for everyone he's ever worked with and wants to talk about them instead. Really refreshing to see a completely humble movie star.
