Matt Damon

Matt Damon


Matt Damon believes that he is seen as a supporting actor.

The actor went on to say that he 'piggybacks' off the success of his co-stars and he thinks that all of his roles are offered to Brad Pitt first.

"I think the roles go to Brad first. Which is fine.

"Ask anybody on the street which actors starred in the 'Ocean's' movies, and they'll tell you it was George and Brad.

"I'm 'support' in 'Ocean's'. As I was in 'Saving Private Ryan' Tom Hanks carried that movie. You could accuse me of piggybacking on other people's brilliance more than anything."

It seems rather appropriate then the actor found himself nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar at this year's Academy Awards for his role in Invictus.

The actor starred alongside Morgan Freeman, who played Nelson Mandela, as he tried to unite South Africa through sport.

However the actor finds himself leading man material this week as he reunites with Bourne filmmaker Paul Greengrass for war movie Green Zone.

Green Zone is released 12th March.
