Ridley Scott's latest film 'The Last Duel' is hauntingly real. And even though the film is set in the 14th century, the plot is relatable and once again throws light to the #MeToo movement and how a woman's truth is always secondary to a man's honour and pride.&nbsp;

Based on Eric Jagger's book by the same name, the film reunites Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as writers for the first time since their Oscar-winning film 'Good Will Hunting'. Along with writer Nicole Holofciner, Affleck and Damon narrate a story from three different perspectives.&nbsp;

Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) and Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) are to get into a duel after Carrogues' wife Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) alleges that she has been raped by Le Gris.&nbsp;

The story begins with Carrouges' side of the story. Damon plays an obnoxious, foolish, illiterate man who knows only to fight. His marriage to Marguerite is also on the pretext to increase his hold over a particular area and produce an heir for his family.&nbsp;

Le Gris, his friend and now enemy, is strikingly different. Born poor, Le Gris is knowledgable, well-versed, good looking and charming. He has a way with the ladies and is also Pierre's (Ben Affleck) favourite who as the King's cousin runs a certain part of the kingdom. Le Gris, in his version of the story, denies the rape and claims that Marguerite is willing let him have her after the initial bit of reluctance- which according to him is normal as women play hard to get.&nbsp;

The third version- the most haunting and achingly truthful is that of Marguerite's story who has a bright, learned woman who is trapped due to the societal norms and suffers silently until she is raped and decides to speak up but at the cost of losing everything in her life. She has always been controlled by the men in her life- her father and husband- who treat her as a commodity and only as a means to produce an heir for the honourable family.&nbsp;

Carrouges, who has been nursing a grudge against Le Gris already, goes to the King to seek justice for the rape. The king decides to first hold a trial, which leads to uncomfortable questions in court particularly for Marguerite and then get the two men to fight each other. The one who wins will be the chosen one and his truth will be considered as the ultimate one.&nbsp;

Since the film presents three different perspectives of the same incidents, there is a certain amount of repetition. Set in a cold, grey France, the story is grim yet engaging with a tight screenplay. It also helps that the film has a stellar cast who enhance the viewing experience to a great level.&nbsp;

Damon plays the ignorant, brash Carrouges with ease. He is awkward, irrational and laughed upon by his peers. He tones down his appearance to look his part- that of a man who has no emotions and only understands the language of power and keeps complaining about how he has been wronged by people.&nbsp;

Actress Jodie Comer, who plays Marguerite de Carrouges, emotes through her eyes. With limited lines dedicated to her, Comer's character is a tough one to play. But deft writing and her credible performance elevates the character- who despite limited dialogues, speaks volumes of her woes and troubles. Comer's performance is restraint - just what is required for her part.&nbsp;

The show stealer is Adam Driver who plays the charming, manupulative and slightly guilty Le Gris with great conviction. You can't take your eyes of Driver, who in the recent past, has amanged to shine in almost all his films. You know he is wrong, but you find yourself drawn to his character the most.&nbsp;

The film narrates a story of rape and how fighting for women's honour was never a priority for men. The concept of concent was not prevalent either- issues that are still discussed widely in the era of the global #MeToo movement. The duel took place between the two men to protect their honour and dignity and not of the man. While the film is about the two men, the detailed screenplay and skilled camera by Dariusz Wolski often lingers towards the women- who silently portray the years of suffering or shock or empathy for their fellow sisters. And these moments are the highlight of 'The Last Duel' &nbsp;making Ridley Scott's period drama effective.&nbsp;

'The Last Duel' review: Ridley Scott presents a haunting tale of two entitled men and a spirited woman 

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were rank newcomers when they won an Oscar for writing the critically acclaimed 'Good Will Hunting' in 1997. The childhood friends subsequently went on to attain stardom as prolific actors and filmmakers. But fans always wondered why the two had not collaborated after their win.&nbsp; 
 
Now, after two decades, Damon and Affleck have once again come together and written 'The Last Duel' a film directed by Ridley Scott. At the film's New York premiere Damon explained why the two had not collaborated for this long.&nbsp; 
 
"It was simply a matter of planning," Damon explained. .Damond said he and Affleck "assumed (writing) would be so time-consuming that we'd never be able to do it." 
 
'The Talented Ripley' actor explained that between his family and Affleck's they thought they'd "never find the time" to write another script like 'Good Will Hunting'. But they realised, "If we just work during hours that we could easily carve out, we could get a lot done." 
 
It turned out the project wasn't as difficult as they anticipated, as Damon shared, "We wrote it faster than we thought we would." 
 
Affleck added that he feels fortunate to have Damon not just as a collaborator, but as a friend, too."I grew up with this guy, I've known him forever. We're from the same world and place, and stayed close and I often think about people who come into this business and there are some challenges that get thrown at you," Affleck explained. 
"You're lucky if you get to do the job you love and luckier if it's with people that you love," he reflected. 
 
Damon's support for Affleck extends to his friend`s love life as well. The 'Jason Bourne' actor remarked that he's "happy" Affleck has found love with Jennifer Lopez and said, "I'm happy for them... We all deserve love, why not them?" 
 
'The Last Duel' hits theatres on October 15.&nbsp;

It's no more a secret Matt! Fans are convinced that they have discovered Hollywood actor Matt Damon's secret Instagram account and it seems the star himself has unwittingly blown the lid.&nbsp; 
 
Internet sleuth has figured out Damon's Instagram account almost immediately after the actor announced its existence.&nbsp; 
 
Turns out that the actor revealed in an in-depth GQ interview published Wednesday that he ran a "very private Instagram account."&nbsp; 
 
The actor has previously stated his aversion to social media and Damon said he only used his Insta profile to see his friends’ kids growing up around the world. He only occasionally used it to share a post of his own. 
 
"I have 76 followers and I’ve done 40 posts since 2013," explained the social media chameleon, before showing interviewer Chris Heath an Insta-pic of his 15-year-old daughter Isabella brandishing two middle fingers. 
 
That was enough clue for Internet Sherlocks to figure out the star's profile on the picture sharing app.&nbsp; 
 
"i found matt damon’s finsta and honestly it shouldn’t have taken an hour," tweeted one fan and shared a screenshot of a profile whose name features a concealed anagram for 'Matt Damon.' The follower and post counts were exactly what the movie star mentioned in the interview.

I said, 'Scott, what's that one?' And he goes, 'I have no idea — I think that's just some shit that Heath squiggled.' And I went, 'That's the one I want,'" Damon was quoted as saying.

 
"So we both have that. It's like a little creative little blessing. It's like an angel that looks over all these names that are on the arm," added the 'Good Will Hunting' star.&nbsp;

Hollywood star Matt Damon and Oscar-winning director Tom McCarthy say the story of Amanda Knox, the American woman who was tried and acquitted of murder in Italy more than a decade ago, served as the inspiration for their new movie "Stillwater", but that the film is not based on her case.

Matt Damon recently addressed the episode of him retiring “the f-slur” after he allegedly told a reporter about his discussion with daughter about the use of pejorative term for gay people.&nbsp;

On the interview, Matt told Deadline, “During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made – though by no means completed – since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word ‘f*g’ used on the street before I knew what it even referred to. I explained that that word was used constantly and casually and was even a line of dialogue in a movie of mine as recently as 2003; she in turn expressed incredulity that there could ever have been a time where that word was used unthinkingly. To my admiration and pride, she was extremely articulate about the extent to which that word would have been painful to someone in the LGBTQ+ community regardless of how culturally normalized it was. I not only agreed with her but thrilled at her passion, values and desire for social justice.”

The actor added, “I have never called anyone ‘f****t’ in my personal life and this conversation with my daughter was not a personal awakening. I do not use slurs of any kind. I have learned that eradicating prejudice requires active movement toward justice rather than finding passive comfort in imagining myself ‘one of the good guys.’ And given that open hostility against the LGBTQ+ community is still not uncommon, I understand why my statement led many to assume the worst. To be as clear as I can be, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community.”

In the interview, Matt Damon said he made a joke “months ago” about the use of the pejorative term after which the daughter gave “a very long, beautiful” response about “how that word is dangerous.”

Soon after the interview, GLAAD’s Head of Talent Anthony Allen Ramos issued a statement on the organization’s behalf. They issued a statement: “The conversations that have arisen after Matt Damon’s original interview and subsequent remarks today are an important reminder that this word, or any word that aims to disparage and disrespect LGBTQ people, has no place in mainstream media, social media, classrooms, workplaces, and beyond. There needs to be accountability at a time when anti-LGBTQ slurs remain rampant today and can fuel discrimination and stereotypes, especially when used by those outside of the community to defame or describe LGBTQ people.”

Matt Damon shares he is glad for Bennifer's rekindled romance

The last time Hollywood heavyweights—Matt Damon and Ben Affleck—wrote a script together; they won the best original screenplay for it. The film was ‘Good Will Hunting’ and the year, 1998.&nbsp;

 
Twenty-five years later, the duo—also long-time friends—have come together for their upcoming project ‘The Last Duel’.

 
Talking about how the pair got together to write the script of this movie, Matt Damon told a talk-show host, “It’s the first movie we’ve written in 25 years or something, and we wrote with another great writer named Nicole Holofcener. We saw it as a story of perspective, and so Ben and I wrote the male perspectives and Nicole wrote the female perspective.”

 
&nbsp;“I think we just found that having made… like making movies for 30 years, we actually learned something about structure along the way and the process went along a lot faster,” he said. “And so I think we’ll write a lot more in the future just because it didn’t turn out to be as time-consuming as we thought,” said the actor about co-writing more with Affleck.&nbsp;

 
In comparison, writing ‘The Duel’ was easier then writing the script of ‘Good Will Hunting’. Damon explained, “I think that writing process for Good Will Hunting was so inefficient. You know, because we didn’t really understand structure so we wrote thousands of pages.”&nbsp;

 
“Back in the day, we didn’t have deadlines because nobody cared what we were doing, no one was waiting for the script, we were unemployed, so we literally had nothing else to do,” he joked.&nbsp;

 
Directed by Ridley Scott, ‘The Last Duel’ is slated to release on October 15 this year.&nbsp;

Hollywood star Matt Damon is opening up about his COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.&nbsp;

The world is pretty much divided on the issue of getting a vaccine or not as people discuss the pros and cons of it including how unsure some are of its after effects. Now, taking the debate further, Matt spoke of his understanding and frustration around the issue.&nbsp;

In a recent interview for his upcoming crime drama ‘Stillwater’, Matt shared why vaccine hesitancy and achieving herd immunity are both important to him.

Matt Damon said, “There are a lot of reasons that people have [for being vaccine-hestiant], and I don’t want to belittle them. It’s tough for me. I have a couple friends who are immunocompromised, and they can’t get the vaccine, so they have no choice but to rely on the rest of us to do our part to get to herd immunity. So I look at it that way.”

Understanding why some might choose to not get a COVID-19 vaccine, Matt said, “It’s a personal choice. That’s the beauty of America: It’s a free country. And none of us would have it any other way. But I fall heavily on the side of trusting science more than something you read on Facebook.”

Recently, Matt took part in ‘Control the Contagion’, a PSA campaign that featured him alongside director Steven Soderbergh, writer Scott Z. Burns and other cast members from 2011 pandemic thriller ‘Contagion’.

Hollywood actor Matt Damon is curruntly spending time at Cannes Film Festival for his new movie 'Stillwater' screening.&nbsp; 
 
During his Cannes Film Festival masterclass, Matt got candid about how he had turned down the lead role in the mega-blockbuster 2009 movie 'Avatar'.&nbsp;

 
As per Deadline, he explained how director James Cameron offered him 10 per cent of the movie’s profits. The movie was a blockbuster and went on to gross $2.8 billion globally. 
 
Recalling that, he said, “I was offered a little movie called 'Avatar', James Cameron offered me 10% of it,” he joked. “I will go down in history… you will never meet an actor who turned down more money.”

By telling the reason behind why he turned down the movie, James said he was busy filming the 'Jason Bourne' movie. The role ended up going to Sam Worthington, who is onboard for the sequels.&nbsp;

Matt Damon turned down the lead role in ‘Avatar’, crazy money!

Hollywood star Matt Damon got emotional at the screening of his new film 'Stillwater' at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. The film was screened under out-of-competition section at the film festival.&nbsp; 
 
Helmed by Tom McCarthy, the screening of the film brought the assembled crowd to its feet in the Grand Theatre Lumiere as the lights came upon the film`s team, and brought tears to Damon`s eyes. 
 
The story of `Stillwater` focuses on Damon`s Bill Baker, an Oklahoma oil-rig roughneck with a shoddy past as a father who heads to Marseille, hellbent on freeing his daughter (Abigail Breslin), an exchange student imprisoned for murdering her girlfriend, a crime she says she didn`t commit.

Damon`s character is the proverbial fish out of water who finds an ally in a local single mother (Camille Cottin) and her daughter (Lilou Siauvaud). 
 
Given that the film is largely set in Marseille, just about a two-hour drive from Cannes, the local crowd was particularly keyed into certain references in it, and McCarthy further charmed the audience when he was asked to say a few words. 
 
Starting off with his thank-yous in French, he then added the impromptu speech, and said, "I didn`t prepare my French. I`m overwhelmed to be here. I have been so greatly influenced by the cinema of this country and of Europe. It has had a huge impact on my career and life. To be here is a dream come true." 
 
The screenplay of `Stillwater` has been penned by McCarthy and Marcus Hinchey along with Thomas Bidegain and Noe Debre. 
&nbsp;The late Steve Golin has produced the movie alongside McCarthy, Jonathan King and Liza Chasin. 
 
The film opens in the United States on July 30. &nbsp;

Matt Damon confirmed in a prominent role in 'Thor: Love and Thunder'

American actor Matt Damon brought havoc to Brooklyn Heights by moving into his luxury penthouse. 
 
According to Page Six, the 49-year-old star brought in quite the production-closing down an entire street on Tuesday (local time) -- including an enormous crane, which reached over 14 stories, to lift his furniture and a host of trees onto his tony terrace. 
 
In 2018, the Oscar winner star who was stuck in Ireland until late May during the coronavirus lockdown, bought the 6,000-plus-square-foot penthouse in the Beaux-Arts building, the Standish. 
 
It went for 16.5 million USD which makes it Brooklyn`s most expensive apartment at the time. 
 
One local resident said, "We call the building the Standoffish because it is a little bit of Hollywood dumped in the middle of the more low-key Brooklyn Heights. The lobby is all gold and marble, and the units have Austrian white oak flooring and Italian Carrara marble slab countertops." 
 
"Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly live there, and [Damon] has a triplex penthouse on the 11th and 12th floors and the roof. It is the highest building in the neighbourhood, so it has unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbour and the bridges," he added. 
 
The resident said of Damon`s dramatic arrival, "He closed off the street all day and parked an enormous big red crane right in the middle of the street. There was no sign of Matt, but he had a huge team of contractors and there were shrubs, decking and huge crates filled with stuff going up in the air to the terrace. We were all waiting for the grand piano to be wheeled out." 
 
Damon, who has four kids with wife Luciana Barroso, reportedly also has an East Village apartment.

Who doesn't like a story of an underdog? There is always so much to root for in such a film and when you club an underdog story with moto racing- the experience is bound to give you an adrenaline rush. Which is exactly what director James Mangold's film 'Ford V Ferrari' does.&nbsp;

The film based on an actual incident in 1966 when Ford had the audacious dream to surpass reigning champ Ferrari at the prestigious 24 hours Le Mans championship in France. This at a time when Ford sales were at an all-time low.&nbsp;

As they bring car engineer Carroll Shelby on board to design the fastest racing car, Shelby puts together the best team and creates a car that not just changes the history of moto racing but also the fortunes of Ford. Shelby, in turn, brings in Ken Miles, a war veteran and a professional race car driver who may know his job but is too brash for everyone's liking. And while Shelby and Miles dream big, officials at Ford want Miles out as they feel his behaviour may cost the company the tournament and tarnish their image.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Writers Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, Jason Keller deliver an entertaining, gripping story that keeps the viewers hooked. Though the film takes an unusually long time to establish itself, the bromance, the racing sequences, and the 1960s America is well depicted in the film. Perhaps to justify the title, the film spends too much time giving a back story of how Ford initially wanted a tie-up with Ferrari and when the deal fell through, they decided to compete at the racing circuit.&nbsp;

The film is propelled by great acting. Lead actors Matt Damon and Christian Bale are known for their acting prowess and have proved their talent in several films before. Bale always manages to transform himself physically for each of the characters he plays and this film is no different. He looks and behaves as the jaded, feisty rather cynical race car driver who has too much pride and less work. Damon, on the other hand, has an easier role to play yet manages to stand out - complete with southern accent and mannerisms. It's great to watch their bromance on-screen as they complement each other well.&nbsp;

The other high point of the film is the racing sequences which give you an adrenaline rush. Shot superbly by cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the racing sequences look real and are supremely entertaining. You may or may not be motor racing enthusiast but you will find yourself hooked till the end.&nbsp;

There is something for everyone. It is a story of beating the odds, working hard to make your dreams come true, a story of teamwork and sportsman spirit and of a son who idolizes his father.&nbsp;

Despite its length, 'Ford v Ferrari' is a breezy ride. It mostly keeps up the pace, shows off some incredible moments of a moto racing championship, and has amazing sports cars on display. The performances just act as the icing.&nbsp;

'Ford v Ferrari' review: Matt Damon, Christian Bale's film gives an adrenaline rush

American actor Matt Damon and English actor Christian Bale, have acquired a ton of temporary acting expertise over the years, from playing the piano to speaking in specific foreign accents. 
 
Some of those random skills that have stuck with them, including the amateur race car driving skills they learned for their new film '<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/ford-v-ferrari-review-matt-damon-christian-bales-film-gives-an-adrenaline-rush-262338">Ford v Ferrari</a>', which are occasionally applicable to driving in Los Angeles, horseback riding poker and more.&nbsp; 
 
The 45-year-old actor Bale admitted, "I do think the driving skill is very practical", I do feel confident, I feel like justifiably, we've learned how to put a car through its absolute extremes and paces". 
 
The 'Dark Knight'&nbsp;star added, that it's not just the speed, but also just testing breaks and really pushing that, and so "I do feel good about that," reported a&nbsp;Magazine. 
 
The 49-year-old actor offered to ask, "Fake fighting?". "I'll win any fight as long as I could just miss you by an inch. Right?" said Bale."Yeah, as long as you agree to react to my punches. You can't just swing at me," added Damon. 
 
Bale also revealed that he can be a bit showy with a rope, as he added, "I can do a bit of trick roping, it's not in use every day, but I can do it a little bit. I learned that a while back. Horseback riding too, with that I could jump on the horse&nbsp;backward and whatnot". 
 
Damon while recollecting his learning from a movie that he did long time ago and was happy for doing that, he told "I had never played golf, and I learned how to play golf and for the last 20 years of my dad's life we'd always play around the golf, just me and him walking around together". 
 
He thinks that the experience turned out to be "something that was really good". The actor said, "Maybe someday I'll do that with my kids too, but I haven't&nbsp;played since he passed away. Also Poker I learned from a movie and I still play. That was fun". 
 
Both actors lament the fact that they can't remember more of their former expertise. "It takes me a long time to learn anything and I forget it incredibly quickly," said Bale. While Bale asked, "Isn't that frustrating,?" Bale responded, "I wish it was the other way around".&nbsp;

Adam Driver to work with Matt Damon in Ridley Scott's 'The Last Duel'?

American actor Matt Damon recently revealed that filmmaker James Cameron offered him the lead role in the 2009 hit film 'Avatar', and his life could have been very different if he had said yes to the offer. 
 
The 48-year-old actor, who has been pretty successful even without the role, shared that the acclaimed filmmaker offered him 10 percent of the film's profits, reported a magazine. 
 
In a new interview with British GQ, as cited by a magazine, the 'Jason Bourne'&nbsp;star revealed that he wasn't just offered the lead role, but was also extended ten percent of the film's profits if he accepted the part. 
 
"Jim Cameron offered me Avatar," Damon told the magazine". And when he offered it to me, he goes, 'Now, listen. I don't need anybody. I don't need a name for this, a named actor. 
 
If you don't take this, I'm going to find an unknown actor and give it to him, because the movie doesn't really need you. But if you take part, I'll give you ten percent'," he added. 
 
The epic science drama that takes viewers to the alien world of Pandora, minted USD 2.79 billion at the box office. This means that Damon could have walked away with over USD 250 million had he starred in the sci-fi movie. 
 
"I told John Krasinski this story when we were writing Promised Land," Damon added, revealing his friend's reaction to the big revelation". He goes, 'What?'&nbsp;And he stands up and he starts pacing in the kitchen. He goes, 'OK. OK. OK. OK. OK... If you had done that movie, nothing in your life would be different. Nothing in your life would be different at all. 
 
Except that, right now, we would be having this conversation in space'," Damon said."So, yeah. I've left more money on the table than any actor actually," the 48-year-old star said. 
 
Despite that, Damon doesn't regret the whopping missed paycheck opportunity as much as he repents passing on the chance to work with Cameron. 
 
"I mean, the bigger thing still to this day, my bigger regret is Cameron said to me in the course of that conversation, 'Well, you know, I've only made six movies'.&nbsp;I didn't realize that" the actor said. 
 
"He works so infrequently, but his movies, you know all of them. So it feels like he's made more than he has. I realized in having to say no that I was probably passing on the chance to ever work with him," Damon added. 
 
"So that sucked and that's still brutal," he said, jokingly adding, "but my kids are all eating. I'm doing OK". 
 
The film went on to star Australian actor Sam Worthington as the lead character Jake Sully. He will be revisiting his role in the upcoming sequel&nbsp; 'Avatar 2', which is slated to release on December 17, 2021. 
 
'Avatar'&nbsp;held the top spot for the highest-grossing film ever but in 2019 it was finally dethroned by 'Avengers: Endgame'. Damon's new film 'Ford v Ferrari', co-starring Christian Bale, hits the big screens on November 15.&nbsp;

American actor Matt Damon recently revealed that filmmaker James Cameron offered him the lead role in the 2009 hit film 'Avatar', and his life could have been very different if he had said yes to the offer. The 48-year-old actor, who has been pretty successful even without the role, shared that the acclaimed filmmaker offered him 10 percent of the film's profits, reported a magazine. In a new interview with British GQ, as cited by a magazine, the 'Jason Bourne' star revealed that he wasn't just offered the lead role, but was also extended ten percent of the film's profits if he accepted the part. "Jim Cameron offered me Avatar," Damon told the magazine". And when he offered it to me, he goes, 'Now, listen. I don't need anybody. I don't need a name for this, a named actor.

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon to script and star in Ridley Scott's 'The Last Duel'

American actor Matt Damon said on Tuesday (January 22) he hoped the financial clout of Davos and his movie star glamour would help bring clean water to millions more via his micro-financing charity.

Damon is a regular at the World Economic Forum (WEF) since co-founding water.org -- a charity that organises micro-loans so the world's poor can pay for their own infrastructure to bring water to their homes.

Many cannot afford the upfront costs of connecting to the water grid but they can afford small loan repayments if someone else puts up the money, he explained.

This year he has meetings lined up with Stella Artois and the Hilton Foundation, both sponsors of the organisation, and he says he has a good news story to sell -- that more than 16 million people now have clean water.

"People want to solve their problems you just have to nudge the market towards them a little bit and they can do the rest," he told Reuters in an interview shortly after arriving in the Swiss ski resort.

He said,&nbsp;"We've got a really happy story to tell because the work's going a lot better than we ever could have hoped. We reached our first million people with clean water and sanitation in 2012 and now we're reaching over a million a quarter so we're already past 16 million people so it's scaling really quickly."

Co-founder Gary White said that a lot of the summit's major themes including women's empowerment and climate change could be helped through the water problem: if girls didn't spend time looking for clean water they could be in school and if less water was wasted less energy would be spent moving it around.

He said,&nbsp;"I think Matt won't brag on himself for sure but there's no doubt, Matt actually, has been in this for well over a decade now. And Matt can do this kind of interview but he can also go and sit down at the World Bank with the president there and articulate these issues and work with them. So I think he has become one of the world's water experts and I think that's what shows through, that yes the celebrity aspect that Matt brings to it is undeniable. But there's few celebrities that have drilled down into an issue so deeply, and said 'This is what I'm really going to focus on', and you can see the momentum we've gained since we joined forces. 16 million people now have access to water that didn't before we joined up so I think Matt explains a lot of that."

Damon, star of movies including the Bourne Identity and Good Will Hunting said he didn't know if his fame helped open doors but he hoped to put it to good use.

"Hopefully I'm bringing something to the table. He's (White) bringing his three engineering degrees, I've got to do something!" he said.

Matt Damon goes to Davos to talk of support for clean water charity

For those who have watched Deadpool 2 would know by now how self-referential the film is. The uncanny superhero Deadpool doesn't spare anyone. The jokes are on everyone really. And just like the jokes, the cameos in the film were in plenty as well.&nbsp; 
 
A bunch of Hollywood stars played blink-and-you-miss camoes in Ryan Reynolds recent film, making Deadpool, literally, a multi starrer.&nbsp; 
 
Among the cameos, the one that perhaps stood out- particularly for the screentime that the character was given- was Vanish's character. Now, just to jog your memory a bit, shall we? 
 
Deadpool hires a bunch of underground superheroes to form X-Force. Among them is Vanish whose superpower is, well, &nbsp;that he can vanish. There is an underlying joke throughout on whether Vanish is actually ever present with the rest of his team members. As X Force decides to rescue Russell, the mutant kid, by sky-diving- things begin to go awry. It's only then do you see the actor who plays Vanish- it's none other than Brad Pitt. The actor is seen only for a brief second as his characters electrocute to death. 
&nbsp; 
Apparently, rumours had it that Brad Pitt would play Cable in the film, which ultimately was played by Josh Brolin. According to reports, Pitt agreed to be a part of the film for that limited time just to tease fans who were excited about the rumour.&nbsp; 
 
Another Hollywood star whose cameo got everyone excited was Matt Damon. Damon starred in a scene with Josh Brolin's character Cable.&nbsp; 
 
He appeared as one of the rednecks arguing about toilet paper when Cable makes an appearance. Damon then is seen giving toilet paper manifesto (no less!) to Cable.&nbsp; 
 
Apparently, Deadpool 2 writer Rhett Reese had his own toilet paper manifesto that he offered to co-writer and lead Ryan Reynolds and together they decided to include the bit in the movie. Damon agreed to feature in the scene as he thought it was hilarious.&nbsp; 
 
Not just Damon and Pitt, but Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, and other X Men cast all had small cameos in the film.&nbsp; 
 
Deadpool 2, opened to good numbers on Friday worldwide. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-deadpool-2-upstages-avengers-infinity-war-at-the-box-office-138512">The film has already upstaged Avengers at the Box Office.</a>&nbsp;

'Deadpool 2': Did you spot Brad Pitt, Matt Damon in the film?

After being criticised for his controversial remarks on sexual harassment in Hollywood, actor Matt Damon said that he vows to spend more time listening and less time talking. 
 
Damon apologized for his comments on sexual misconduct and severely criticised for his insensitive remarks. In a recent interview to a leading US channel, Damon was asked what he`d learn from the criticism of his comments and the actor replied, &quot;I really wish I`d listened a lot more before I weighed in on this. I don`t want to further anybody`s pain with anything that I do or say. So for that, I am really sorry.&quot;

The&nbsp;star also noted that he loves and respects the women that are coming ahead and speaking about their horrific experiences with the #TimesUp movement. 
 
&quot;[With] Time`s Up, a lot of those women are my dear friends, and I love them and respect them and support what they`re doing,&quot; explained Damon. 
 
He concluded his comments by saying that he wants to be a part of the change that has been happening in the industry but feels that he should take a backseat for a while and keep his mouth shut. 
 
Damon had earlier in an interview said that while he finds it &quot;wonderful&quot; that women are speaking out against their alleged perpetrators, there is a &quot;continuum&quot; with respect to questionable behaviour.At that time he said, &quot;I think it`s wonderful that women are feeling empowered to tell their stories, and it`s totally necessary. I do believe there`s a spectrum of behaviour.There`s a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right? Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn`t be conflated.&quot;
