Damon's delight at Informant role
- 13 Nov 2009
Matt Damon was thrilled to land his starring role in The Informant! in 2001 - because he feared his career was over after a string of flop movies.

Clooney's revenge on Damon
- 18 Oct 2009
George Clooney has followed through on his pledge to take revenge on pal Matt Damon following a public gay joke - he convinced the actor he was gaining weight when he was on a strict diet. The Bourne Identity star recently admitted he fuelled gossip Clooney was secretly in love with another man, by telling a reporter that the couple planned to marry.
