For the average viewer, it’s easy to understand why someone might confuse Jesse Plemons and Matt Damon. They have similar faces and blonde hair. Jesse, 36, opened up about the resemblance to Matt, 53, during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, June 12. Before discussing the comparisons, Jesse took part in a funny sketch with Jimmy Kimmel and his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez.
For those who may not be familiar with Jimmy’s feud with Matt, the late-night host and Oscar winner have a satirical public feud stemming from Jimmy using the phrase «Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time». Since then, the «Good Will Hunting» star has never officially appeared on Jimmy’s talk show, but he has tried to «sneak in» many times, fueling the feud in various media appearances.
Having said all that, let’s get back to Jesse. After Jimmy made his introduction, the camera switched to his sidekick Guillermo, who was holding the «Breaking Bad» actor in a cage in a separate room, mistaking him for Matt. «I caught him, Jimmy», - he said. Jesse tried to clarify that he was not Matt, and Guillermo said, «Nice try, you bastard». Eventually, he let him go.
After the funny sketch, Jesse talked about the rumors at the beginning of the interview. Jesse said that he looks «quite similar» to the star of «The Departed», - and people mention it to him. «It's been following me for some time now», - he said, sharing a story. «There was a time at the Toronto Film Festival, maybe 10 years ago, when I got into an elevator».
Jesse continued and said that a fan asked him if he was the actor from «The Martian», - and clearly didn’t believe him. «This woman asked me. She said, 'Are you Matt Damon?' I said, 'No, I’m not him,'» he said. «She looked at me like, 'Wow, Matt Damon — the liar.'»
Jimmy playfully suggested that Jesse join him in damaging Matt Damon’s image using the resemblance. Then he asked the «Friday Night Lights» star if he feels they look alike. «It's hard for me to say. Not really, no», - he said. «When I was younger, my aunt watched 'Good Will Hunting' and for some reason called my mom and said, 'This is what Jesse will look like.'»
