Matt Damon Shares the Results of His Family’s DNA Test

Matt Damon’s brother took a DNA test, and it turns out they’re 100% very, very European. The Oscar winner also chatted about his glamping vacation with Chris Hemsworth and their families.

I’m impressed at how gracious he was in light of her cutting him off about his ancestry.

[@yomommastupid]

Well that was rude of Ellen. I was interested to hear more about his Finnish roots.

[@TaraRoseAstrologer]

Dante Monte yes, finnished 😉

[@hd-xc2lz]

Me too. And having visited the country a few times I'd say he looks Finnish.

[@kikia6611]

Me, too. I was curious about his ancestry.

[@kaianttila1619]

He was about to say that his father had english and scottish ancestry.

[@timomastosalo]

Maybe Ellen doesn't know or like her own backgound - then it may irritate her to hear from the others' ancestry. Just guessing

[@gunpowdervanilla4381]

The DNA talk wasn't boring, it was actually quite interesting. Genetics are fascinating and you never know what you'll find.

[@cathywikstrom8938]

Yes, and Ellen cut him off. "I don't care," she said. Well how rude! But then, that's Ellen.

[@peacelife]

Aww..I wanted to hear his story about DNA. That was the title of the clip. Felt like a marathon interview.

[@Lala-cw7ez]

Ellen is so unfunny and uneducated. No wonder she finds it "boring".

[@IRiseOfficial]

That was rude that she cut him off and said it’s boring. Not only insult to him but to all folks in Finland and Sweden.

[@AdrianTheR]

She didn't want to bore her short attention span audience.

[@trinket746]

No, not an insult at all. Boring is good. /Swede

It was actually interesting about his family genetics and history. Ellen was being unnecessarily rude. She could have transitioned the conversation nicely.

[@Cerezo.lindsey]
