They say that nothing can prepare you for the life altering pressure of fame, and Matt Damon was no exception, but he explains what has helped him stay sane along the way.

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.

Thanks, I was really struggling with this.

He seems to have great insight into his situation, which helps him stay grounded.

[YanoshSquarepants]

He's still looking great.
Can't believe he's turning 50 this year.

[widetubevision]

He is a genuine man doing a great job as an actor and still remain down to earth.

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.

He's basically saying stay humble and down to earth

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.

Your fame doesn't happen to you. Your fame happens to everyone around you.

Matt is a very intelligent person. Just like the character he played in "Good Will Hunting".
