Matt Damon looking fat human

Matt%20Damon.jpg

This picture of Matt Damon from the set of his next film is birthing a lot of bad jokes online this week -- I'm Stuffing Matt Damon, The Bourne Obesity, The Talented Mr. Rumpley.

But I love pictures like this. Because looking like a fierce, ripped killing machine is Damon's job when he's filming movies like the Bourne trilogy. But it's good for people to see that his default mode is normal, human body. Whether he's doing it for a part of just letting himself go a little because he hasn't had a cheeseburger in three years, it's good for people to see superhero actors and actresses without makeup, hairy, flabby -- in a word, human.

Dude: You think that is flabby? You need to look around a little and stop propagating stereotypes.

That's more or less how I look without my shirt on -- which yes, I do consider a bit flabby. Particularly for Matt Damon, the Sexiest Man Alive who we usually never see looking less than male-model perfect and have grown used to seeing as Jason Bourne, a triathlon-crushing superman carved out of stone.

Stereotypes are created by our never seeing famous people looking less than fabulous, even though this picture is much closer to what most of us actually look like. I'm saying that I'm happy when they're crushed by a picture like this. Even Matt Damon has love handles, you know?
