‘He’s a terrible person’: Matt Damon on conflict with Jimmy Kimmel

And

It seems that Matt Damon does not plan to put up with American TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel, with whom he has been in conflict for more than a year. At the premiere of his new film “Air” (which, by the way, they shot together with Ben Affleck), the actor caustically made fun of Kimmel on the red carpet, and then completely told reporters that he considered the TV star a “terrible person” when they asked if they were going to whether these two finally bury the hatchet.

No and no again,” Damon snapped. “He’s worthless. Why should I even do this? kimmel — horrible man. He is clearly a bad person.

When Jimmy appeared at the event, Damon shouted out loud, referring to the host’s hurtful joke about him:

Hey! I’d love to take a picture with you, but we’re out of airtime!

Kimmel himself has already commented on Damon’s attacks in a dialogue with ET.

Look, I don’t know who it was, but yes, I heard him. It was loud,” Kimmel said, pretending not to recognize the voice of the Hollywood foe.

Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel’s feud dates back to 2006. Then the actor became a guest on the host’s author’s talk show, and Kimmel decided to test a new joke on the air: he abruptly interrupted the dialogue with Matt, explaining this step by lack of time. Damon, in turn, did not appreciate the humor.

We had a bad show… The guests were bad and I felt pretty bad at the end of the program,” Kimmel told NPR in 2013.

Damon’s colleague and best friend Ben Affleck, who directed the film “Air”, also came to the last premiere. On the red carpet, he was supported by his beloved Jennifer Lopez.

The release of the film “Air” became known in February. And last November, Affleck and Damon decided to start their own film company, which was called Artists Equity. In 2023, the production center plans to release three films at once, and the latest film is one of them.
