Matt Damon Gets Honest on Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood is perhaps the most accomplished actor of all time. He has received five Oscar Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and five People’s Choice Awards.
As one of the most knowledgeable people in the movie industry, Eastwood has also helped mentor some big names along the way. Among those names is Matt Damon who gushed over Eastwood’s work ethic.
“It’s just his philosophy on work, and how he’s managed to be different all the time. It’s the mark of a true artist to defy any categorization for six decades in the movie business,” Damon said.
“To bathe in the glory of that example is a good reason to want to work with him. He is the goal. He is the one who my friends talk about when they talk about where they want to be. Ben [Affleck] and [George] Clooney; Clint has the career they want. We’re all going into our 40s, and we want to believe we can do this at a high level for another four decades.”
