Matt Damon says this 2009 decision may have cost him $250M during conversation with Chris Wallace

[@Pudentame]

I've watched this twice and what the hell was the 2009 decision?

[@cherryboom724]

For those wondering, the $250M decision was that he turned down Avatar. James Cameron offered him 10% of the box office, but he had to turn it down because he already signed up to do another film.

[@loredanatagliaferri5339]

Matt Damon is a great actor! ❤

He is my #1 actor crush. Don’t ask me why. He just is. Something just so boyish, funny and cool about him, even now.

[@DeeDee-tq4cg]

Thank you, Chris Wallace for this interview! Thank you, Matt Damon, for being part of this interview! You both are excellent!

[@s.schoen]

I jumped on the Matt Damon bandwagon from the start and admire him so much as an actor and human being. Not only can he do drama and action films, but he's fantastic at comedy, too. If you haven't seen "Air," you can stream it. Really looking forward to "Oppenheimer"!

[@Jennifer-ge8bf]

[@davelarson6682]

Nice blind title 🙄.. just like a tabloid

[@jedijones]

What else do you expect from CNN? 😆

[@934ist]

Matt knows how to do interviews. See how he slightly pivots on the last question. He could probably recount a story where him and Ben had an argument, but he didn't. Probably because he knows that would be the headline the next day and social media would just run wild with it. Instead, he pivots to explaining why they're doing more movies together.

[@briannao9251]

I love Matt Damon’s fake feud with Jimmy Kimmel

[@Boobalopbop]

Yeah, but put yourself in Matt’s shoes, always being bumped like that. Totally unfair (I’m kidding 😂)

@@czechplzzz Never saw the original but don't you mean *_Infernal_* Affairs? I assumed big budget Hollywood with all the stars improved the film similar to the way Tarantino does when he, admittedly, steals movies. PS: Oh yea, the accent. It does make sense to get a real Bostonian.
