Matt Damon recently declared that he admires Clint Eastwood and that he’ll be as successful as his model.
“I don’t get star-struck in front of someone like him because I don’t care about the superficiality in this business,” Damon said. “I care about his talent, and what really intrigued me was the fact that Clint made the transition from acting to directing.
“He started directing when he was 39. I’m 38 now. I’m hoping to have the same career trajectory where I make movies as an actor until I’m 40 and then I start directing.”
“Few people in life get to do something they love so much. I talk to other people I respect, like Ben Affleck and George Clooney, and all of us look up to Clint.”
