This weekend I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum [1] and based on the lines we can expect big box office sales for the Damon flick. The movie is getting fabulous reviews [2] and we couldn't agree more. Matt is obviously our favorite boy of summer [3], so we we're psyched to see he landed the cover of EW [4] this weekend in all of his sexy, sweaty action star glory. In the issue, Matt talks about the usual topics like the Bourne and Bond comparisons [4], but also gives us a few new juicy tidbits. Here's more [5]:

- On his "good guy" image: I don't hold myself to some higher standard of behavior. You don't have to do a lot to be seen as nice. I guess some of these people must be such rampant pricks that people are amazed when you say hello. I don't know why people like me, and I don't know if I want to know. That might be the kiss of death. I'd rather people not know a lot about me and go see the movies.
- On the role he most regrets passing on:
Years ago, [Good Will Hunting director] Gus Van Sant wanted to do it with me and Joaquin Phoenix. But I was on my way to Italy to do The Talented Mr. Ripley and then All the Pretty Horses. And Gus wanted to do Brokeback right after. And I was like, ''Gus, I'm going to do a gay movie, then a cowboy movie. I can't follow it up with a gay-cowboy movie!''
Matt's good guy image is one of our favorite things about him, and we can't get enough of his down-to-earth sense of humor! If you haven't already gone to see what Jason Bourne remembers then hurry up and head to theaters now!
