Matt Damon Does Matthew McConaughey

Who knew a Southie from Boston could a do such an effective Texas Accent? Not me. Last night on Letterman, The Departed star ad-libbed McConaughey’s southern charm and willingness to appear shirtless in some behind-the-scenes commentary. To my knowledge, Damon has never worked on a flick that required him to learn some Texas slang. So this is no pre-packaged Brokeback accent. The man’s got talent. Just admit it.

I know it’s easy to hate Matty Damon -- he's just so damn successful, so recently-married-to-a-beautiful-non-celeb, so seemingly happy. And he is bff's with Affleck, which is never a big seller (just look at Affleck’s box office). But come on… how cute is he? The studly dad deserves some props. Let's take a moment and worship Damon, not because he has fallen into some great ensemble casts (Ocean's 11 and The Departed), but because he knows how to fake a mean twang.

Matt is the Real Deal

Don't hate him because he's a nice, honest, good ole' boy from Boston that will never forget his roots. He had a dream and worked hard to achieve it. And he is involved with so many charities and does so many things that encourage others to help those less fortunate than themselves. Give this guy props, not hate!
