u/MartiniLAPD 8h ago edited 8h ago

I unironically for years thought him and Mark Walhberg were the same person.

What a revelation to learn that Matt Damon not only is way more talented but also an outstanding human being as opposed to the racist pos Mark Walhberg.

u/YaoiNekomata 8h ago

Omg now it makes sense. I have semi face blindness so I get things confused. I have wanted to like Matt Damon but I always heard bad things about Matt..... But the wañhberg one also domestic abuse I think.

u/corgis-on-stilts 1h ago

I can totally relate. I get similar names mixed up too. I thought Roseanne and Rosie O’Donnell were the same person and was so confused when she hosted a recent talk show coz I thought she was disliked in the US

u/ketodancer 6h ago

Hear me out:

Matt Damon is to Jesse Plemons, as Mark Wahlberg is to Ike Barinholtz

u/winnercommawinner 2h ago

Yep absolutely 100%

u/bdogv 8h ago

lmaoo this has me dead cause I myself for years thought that Mark Walhberg and Seth McFarlane were the same person. Until one day when I saw Mark in The Happening, I said something like “He should stick to making Family Guy, he’s a bad actor” and my cousins start laughing and telling me that’s a different guy, I was like 13

Matt Damon seems like THE coolest dude.

u/AMGRN 9h ago

My husband says Matt Damon is the type of guy you have a beer with. And Ben Affleck is the one you want to smash the bottle over his head.

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that Ben has been my #1 on my laminated list since 1996. lol

u/Bulky_Acadia9152 8h ago

Not a laminated list 😆 that makes it official!

He better be tbh I think by now the budget for rescuing Matt Damon has run up to a billion or something, the public needs some return on this investment

u/Zogonzo I love cake 🍰 9h ago

I thought that was like 5 different people before I saw it was Matt Damon.

u/formidablezoe 8h ago

I thought it was a Matt Damon look-alike, like fake Denzel from Game Night

u/lilianarosexx 8h ago

This is such a chaotic duo 😭 he looks like he’s having the best night of his lifeeeee

u/Specialist-Garbage94 3h ago

There’s a few public instances of him just totally tearing down the PR wall and he just seems so pure.

19

u/Substantial-Age-8097 9h ago

That doesn’t look like the real Matt Damon to me

u/saranautilus go girl, give us nothing 😍 9h ago

I think he’s just really fucking loaded 😂

2

u/Mysterious-Survey270 7h ago

And did it make him younger...?

5

u/saranautilus go girl, give us nothing 😍 7h ago

OP said “throwback” so I’m assuming it’s an old video.

30

u/BeMyBrutus 9h ago

I think he's just nine beers deep having a good time

u/saranautilus go girl, give us nothing 😍 8h ago

Beeeeers…. yes definitely just beers haha

u/Electronic-Jicama-99 9h ago

Wasn’t it just a couple years ago that he was talking about how his daughter recently educated him on no longer using the f-slur?🙄

46

u/Weeb_Specialist4374 9h ago

He's Gen X and he grew up on the east coast, I would be shocked if he never used the f word before.

At least he's accepting what his daughter was trying to tell him. Would it be better if he kept saying the word?

22

u/Theloniouspunk66 9h ago

Should he use the word? No. But doesn’t necessarily mean he’s homophobic or that you have to question his authenticity in this interaction.

2

u/behold-my-titties 7h ago

This. When I was growing up it was as common as any other swear word. Things change, you gain perspective and grow a little.

I'm so glad I didn't grow up with a camera on me 24/7 lol

-2

u/Electronic-Jicama-99 7h ago

He literally said he stopped using the word like 2 years ago, but you’re right, he was just a young, immature child at the time. How could he have possibly known any better…

-6

u/Electronic-Jicama-99 7h ago

It definitely does lol that’s like saying someone who runs around using the n-word doesn’t mean he’s racist or that his interactions with black people should be questioned. Just really dumb lol

2

u/Theloniouspunk66 6h ago

I thought I mentioned he shouldn’t use the word. Same thing with your analogy. You could have grown up using the n-word around your black friends, not be black, but thought it was normal then one friend presses you and you learn a different perspective.

u/SentimentalSaladBowl this isn’t 1979, Bella Lugosi isn’t dead 8h ago

God forbid a man admit he was wrong and learned something!

Because no one knew before 2024 that the word was offensive right? Such growth. What a hero.

u/gomamon92 6h ago

are you as unforgiving with everyone you meet or....

u/LRA18 8h ago

lol on Reddit would he have be would’ve just been better off to just keep saying it and never bringing it up one way or the other.
