More Matt Damon Cameos Than I Originally Thought

I admit it. I watched Eurotrip. And spotted a shaved-headed, tatooed, pierced Matt Damon as lead singer to a band torturing one of the main characters with the song, "Scotty Doesn't Know" about cheating with the main character's girlfriend. And despite finishing the movie, I immediately re-watched it to ensure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Nope. That was definitely Matt Damon and, if he was actually singing, doing a fine job singing lead on the catchy song. Apparantly, Matt Damon was in Hungury filming The Brothers Grimm, and filmed the cameo as a favor to the director/writers, and band, Lustra.

Lo and behold, I came across an article at ifc.com (this article) detailing the cameos Matt Damon has done for friends in other movies. How cool. I interpret Matt Damon's willingness to do cameos for friends as someone who doesn't take himself too seriously and still can enjoy his job. Someone who can take the good and bad of being a celebrity and an actor and maintain some level-headedness and be grounded. Of course, I don't personally know Matt Damon. But let me maintain my fantasy that there is a generally good-guy, down-to-earth actor in Hollywood. Someone who is well-adjusted and likeable.
