Matt Damon praises Jesse Plemons
Matt laughed after hearing Jessie’s statement. When asked about the resemblance, he said, “Sure. Yeah, absolutely. And when he was a kid, it was funny because I remember when he came on the set of All the Pretty Horses and the crew was so nervous. Like, five people came up to me before I met him and they were like, ‘You won’t believe how much this kid resembles you.’ Because I couldn’t believe it. I thought, he resembled me more than I did when I was younger. Like, my 11-year-old face was completely different from his. I was like, ‘This is really weird.’ He’s a great actor and I love his work, the choices he makes. It’s so great to watch him and I’m really proud of the comparison.”
