Matt Damon was 26. He looked 20. He acted 30. And he wrote like he was 40. It’s a bizarre, beautiful accident of timing.
Next time you watch the film, just remember: that’s a baby-faced, Oscar-winning 26-year-old staring down a Harvard student. It adds a whole new layer of “how did he do that?” to the movie.
And honestly? It makes the rest of us feel slightly less accomplished. But in the best way possible. Cheers to that.
