Matt Damon joins the legions of celebrities whining about problems that you wish you could have.
For instance no one else in this world would be able to whine about getting Brad Pitt’s soggy leftovers, and get away with it.
The actor, best known for movies that don’t suck a rusty bolt/ having the good manners to know how to act, gave an interview with The Sunday Times. To be clear, no, we have not yet graduated from our beloved comics to fancy-people newspapers. Though, on occasion, we do need to crack open a page or two. Just to see what all the fuss is about.
The star, a 2010 Oscar nominee and 1997 Oscar winner, is not exactly what we’d call hard done by. Perhaps, in this instance, he would qualify as down on his luck. But little orphan Timmy would probably be able to argue that his own life is harder still. Matt spoke to the paper about lots of sensible grown up things that made our little heads hurt. But then we noticed an utterance about Brad and so we popped an Anadin and soldiered on. The subject of his interview somehow veered onto how Matt’s whole carer had been about other actors’ sloppy seconds.
From Hollyscoop:
Matt seems to think his whole career has been about picking up other?s leftovers. ?You could accuse me of piggybacking on other people?s brilliance more than anything,? he explained.
The whole thing reads as though the seconds we’re talking about are day-old pizza, rather than steak.
Damon says most of his success comes from piggybacking off actors like Brad who are always offered roles before he is. ?I think the roles go to Brad first. Which is fine,? he told the Sunday Times. ?Ask anybody on the street which actors starred in the Ocean?s movies, and they?ll tell you it was George and Brad. I'm ?support? in Ocean?s . As I was in Saving Private Ryan ? Tom Hanks carried that movie.
Um – we don’t know about you – but that sounds fine to us. He carried the Bourne movies just fine. And as we mentioned he has won a ruddy Oscar. Sure, it was over 10 years ago. Perhaps those things expire or something. But at least he won something.
We are going to go out on a limb, and open lines of communication with Matt. Purdy please, with sugar and cherries on top. Can we have the sloppy, um, thirds?

I read the original piece – just sounded like he was being realistic rather than whining to be honest.
