Olivia Wilde, Bono, and Richard Branson Get Behind Matt Damon's Toilet Strike

Olivia Wilde, Bono, and Richard Branson teamed up with Matt Damon for a new Water.org PSA to protest the lack of access to clean, safe water for billions of people.

Olivia Wilde, Bono, and Richard Branson teamed up with Matt Damon for a new Water.org PSA to protest the lack of access to clean, safe water for billions of people. Matt, who is also Water.org's cofounder, announced his "Toilet Strike" back in February, pledging not to use the bathroom until "everyone in the whole world has access to clean water and sanitation." His support has stirred other stars into action as Olivia, Bono, and Richard released a video of their own today.

The trio of stars featured in the new PSA are just the latest to get behind the protest of the global water crisis since Jessica Biel, Jason Bateman, and Josh Gad made their support public back in March. Matt's not only asking celebrities to back him in his fight, but he's also asking the whole world to join his strikewithme.org campaign. Watch as Olivia, Bono, and Richard get passionate about saying no to the toilet!

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, took their girls for a sunny outdoor lunch at the Eden Roc Hotel in Antibes, France, yesterday. Matt sipped white wine and shared a sweet moment with his daughter Gia, showing her the water and pointing out some sights. Matt brought his clan along to Cannes while he promotes Behind the Candelabra, which debuts on HBO this Sunday. The family lunch was just part of a busy day for the actor — he attended a photocall for the film with his costar Michael Douglas and later hit the red carpet with Luciana for the movie's premiere, where he snapped photos of all the fun on his cell phone. In addition to his small-screen project, Matt has also been busy promoting the upcoming sci-fi flick Elysium. He screened trailers for the blockbuster in Mexico and Berlin late last month and will likely make the rounds with costars Jodie Foster and Diego Luna before the film hits theaters in August.

Matt Damon Captures His Cannes Premiere With Luciana

Matt Damon joined up with his Behind the Candelabra costar Michael Douglas to premiere their new film at the Cannes Film Festival today.

Matt Damon joined up with his Behind the Candelabra costar Michael Douglas to premiere their new film at the Cannes Film Festival today. Matt also had his wife Luciana by his side and they snapped pictures of all the action as they made their way down the carpet. Matt and Michael are screening their HBO project in the South of France before it officially hits the small screen on Sunday, May 26. Earlier in the day, Matt and Michael attended a photo call and a press conference. They have been doing quite a bit of press for the biopic, which follows Liberace, played by Michael, and his young lover, played by Matt. Naturally, a story about a couple had to involve love scenes, and Michael revealed in a recent interview he wasn't exactly put off by the idea of kissing one of America's best-looking actors. He said, "As far as making out with Matt, it’s not so bad. We rehearsed the scenes. For me, I guess the biggest thrill is, when I first saw it, after a few minutes, I really forget it’s Matt. Matt and Mike, you know? I just forget it’s us."

Matt is in Cannes after wrapping up filming for his upcoming film with George Clooney, The Monuments Men, in Germany. The pair celebrated finishing the film by having a boys weekend at George's Lake Como estate earlier this month.
