So he's starring in a movie about Philip Seymour Hoffman?

Well, if guys can lose weight for a part...But holy cow, not how I picture him in my sleep. I will have to wash this photo out of my mind by watching The Talented Mr Ripley again.

Oh, Dear Lord, please tell me that is just very elaborate makeup.

He's never really done much for me, but there certainly isn't anything wrong with a little more to love.

Speaking from the middle of my 40s, I would like to say that I would be very happy to have Mr. Damon's current body as opposed to the eerie facsimile of my father's body that is now appearing in my mirror every day. I think he looks GREAT.

Big deal. This is what real actors do - get pudgy for a role (see also: Jared Leto, Vin Diesel), or lose weight for a role (see: Christian Bale, Colin Ferrell).
I'm sure he'll be back to his gorgeous self by the time he'll be doing the promotional tour for the movie.

Let's just hope he doesn't turn into Shelly Winters (may she rest in peace). Poor Shel never lost the weight she put on for Poseidon Adventure.

Exactly how many pounds did he put on? Ouch. {{sob}}

I think he still looks sexy! He can put his banana in my Nutella any day.

I think he looks far sexier in this guise than in any of his other looks.

Let's push more people to eating disorders! YAY!!!!!

A. If you have to gain or lose weight for an acting role, then you're probably not right for that role.
B. Sir Laurence Olivier: "Dear boy, it's called acting." (upon seeing Dustin Hoffman's "method" acting by not sleeping and making a mess of himself to get into character while shooting Marathon Man.)
C. To put it simply: Jared Leto - "Chapter 27" - Total worldwide gross: $56,000

Looking foxier than ever, Mr. Damon!
While the rest of you queens run screaming from the sight of 20 extra pounds, I'll be moving in for the kill.
Posted by: Graham | Jun 26, 2008 3:43:57 PM
No judgement here. He just looks like Sean Astin is all I was gonna say...
Posted by: Jay | Jun 26, 2008 4:06:22 PM
As an eternally pale boy myself, I'm just happy to know that Matt's skin can also blow out a photographer's white levels. And as I once heard a Vermont farmer say about Don Johnson, who was filming in the area, "It's all paint and powda in the movies." Still wouldn't mind f**king Matt Damon, however.

Whatever. All the anorexic people move to the back of the line. He's still sexy.
Posted by: Robbie | Jun 26, 2008 4:43:39 PM
He's still adorable, but that 'stache has GOT to go!
Posted by: seattle mike | Jun 26, 2008 4:45:45 PM
He looks great with some meat on his bones, as he ages he looks better and better! Most non-movie star folk in suburbia end up looking like this and I'll take it over the gym bunnies any day. And it's about time someone cute grew a mustache! Facial hair RULES.

Love it! What's wrong with a few pounds? He looks great! At least he doesn't look like an anorexic, cocaine driven bar poser.
Posted by: John | Jun 26, 2008 5:03:52 PM
He appeared at the Spike TV "Guys Choice" awards a couple of weeks ago and was back to his normal weight and sans mustache.
Posted by: Dick | Jun 26, 2008 5:15:49 PM
Yikes! He should sue his agent for malpractice. That's not meat, that's tallow.
