They have a similar face and blonde haircut. Jesse, 36, opened up about the similarities to Matt, 53, during an interview on\u00a0<em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!\u00a0<\/em>on Wednesday, June 12. Before talking about the comparisons, Jesse took part in a hilarious skit with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/jimmy-kimmel\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong><\/a> and his sidekick\u00a0<strong>Guillermo Rodriguez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">For those who may not be familiar with Jimmy\u2019s rivalry with Matt, the late-night host and Academy Award winner have a satirical public feud, stemming from Jimmy using the sign-off phrase \u201cApologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time.\u201d Since then, the\u00a0<em>Good Will Hunting\u00a0<\/em>star has never formally appeared on Jimmy\u2019s talk show, but he\u2019s attempted to \u201csneak\u201d on many times, and they\u2019ve played up the feud quite a bit in various media appearances.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">All that being said, let\u2019s get back to Jesse. After Jimmy gave his introduction, the camera cut to his sidekick Guillermo, who had the\u00a0<em>Breaking Bad\u00a0<\/em>actor in a cage in a separate room, mistaking him for Matt. \u201cI\u2019ve got him, Jimmy,\u201d he said. Jesse tried to clarify that he wasn\u2019t Matt, and Guillermo said, \u201cNice try, you son-of-a-b***h.\u201d Eventually, he let him out.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe title=\"Jesse Plemons on Getting Confused for Matt Damon, His Son Being Friends with Billy Kimmel &amp; New Film\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/up7P44tDM4I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">Following the hilarious sketch, Jesse spoke about the rumors at the top of the interview. Jesse said he looks \u201cjust enough\u201d like\u00a0<em>The Departed\u00a0<\/em>star to have people mention it to him. \u201cIt has somewhat been haunting me for a little while,\u201d he said, before sharing a story. \u201cThere was an occasion at the Toronto Film Festival maybe 10 years ago or so, where I was stepping into an elevator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">Jessee continued and said that a fan had questioned him about whether or not he was\u00a0<em>The Martian\u00a0<\/em>actor, and she clearly didn\u2019t believe him.\u00a0 \u201cThis woman asked me. She\u2019s like, \u2018Are you Matt Damon?\u2019 I said, \u2018No, I\u2019m not,&#8217;\u201d he said. \u201cShe looked at me as if, \u2018Wow, Matt Damon is a liar.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">Jimmy playfully suggested Jesse joining him to do some damage to Matt Damon\u2019s image, using the resemblance. He then asked the\u00a0<em>Friday Night Lights\u00a0<\/em>star if he felt that they looked alike. \u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to say. Not really, no,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I was younger, my aunt watched\u00a0<em>Good Will Hunting\u00a0<\/em>and for some reason called and\u00a0 told my mom, \u2018This is what Jesse\u2019s going to look like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/06\/13\/jesse-plemons-talks-matt-damon-resemblance-interview\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] View gallery Image Credit: Getty Images For the casual viewer, it\u2019s easy to see why someone would confuse\u00a0Jesse Plemons\u00a0and\u00a0Matt Damon.
