MATT Damon is one of the most likeable men in Hollywood. But Prince wasn’t that taken with his charm.
In the latest issue of GQ magazine, some of his closest celebrity pals have shared their best memories of the Jason Bourne star — with Julia Stiles recalling the time Damon met Prince.
“After The Bourne Ultimatum came out, there was a premiere in London. Prince actually came to it, then got tickets for the cast to come see him [perform],” she told the mag.
“We were summoned into a room, to meet him [after the show]. Matt said, ‘So you live in Minnesota? I hear you live in Minnesota’.”
But Prince wasn’t that interested in Damon’s chit chat.
Damon recalls the singer snuffed out the conversation by replying: “I live inside my own heart, Matt Damon.”
The actor also opened up working alongside Heath Ledger in 2005’s The Brother’s Grimm.
“He was too bright for this world. Coming off [The Brother’s Grimm, I was] telling everybody that I just worked with the best actor I’ve ever seen,” he said.
And people were like, ‘What are you talking about? The guy from A Knight’s Tale?’ And I was like, ‘You just wait. And wait until you see what kind of director he’s gonna be’. There were things that he did where I couldn’t have got there in three lifetimes.”
