Matt Damon Leaves His Bubble
"Better late than never" one reporter remarked
Fellow countrymen and women,
What happens when you take an elitist, Hollywood liberal and have them live amongst the common folk? Look no further than Matt Damon, who has learned a huge secret… that regular Americans are actually nice people!
According to Douglas Ernst from The Washington Times:
Matt Damon says meeting oil riggers from Texas and Oklahoma during research for his upcoming film “Stillwater” was an “eye-opening” experience.
The actor, a longtime liberal activist, told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that his character would have likely been a supporter of former President Trump while also opining on the riggers’ help.
“These people were wonderful to us and really helped us,” Mr. Damon said Wednesday of meeting “roughnecks” in both states. “I didn’t know when I first read the script how specific this culture was in Texas and Oklahoma, these roughnecks and what they do. And so it was really eye-opening for me.”
Advice on numerous issues related to the character — a man searching for his estranged daughter in France — came during invites to backyard barbecues to “the reddest state.”
“A guitar comes out and somebody starts singing church songs,” Mr. Damon said of the experience in Oklahoma, Breitbart reported.
Good on you Mr. Damon, it’s good to leave the left-wing bubble and echo chamber every so often!
Your humble servant,
Ben Stein
