Matt Damon Had The Gall To Call For A Gun Ban In America Right After Killing Ten People In A Jason Bourne Movie
(Source) — Matt Damon will return to the big screen as trained assassin Jason Bourne later this month, and while promoting the new film in Australia over the weekend called for a ban on guns in the United States. In an interview with a reporter from the Sydney Morning Herald, Damon said: ‘You guys did it here in one fell swoop and I wish that could happen in my country, but it’s such a personal issue for people that we cannot talk about it sensibly. We just can’t.’ Damon made these comments at the red carpet premiere of the new Bourne movie, a film series in which he has killed at least 10 people with a firearm. Damon, who has reportedly made over $50million for his work in the four Bourne films, has also had no issue with using weapons in other films. The 45-year-old actor has also carried firearms in his movies The Departed, Green Zone and Elysium, to name just a few. Business Insider revealed in the wake of the massacre at Orlando gay club Pulse last month which left 49 dead and another 53 injured that of the 100 top grossing Hollywood films in 2015, 18 of them featured guns on their movie poster. Damon is pictured holding a gun on movies poster for all four of his Bourne films. There are some Hollywood celebrities who have made a point of not using guns in their films, most notably Drew Barrymore who revealed prior to the making of the first Charlie’s Angels film that she and co-stars Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu would not use firearms of any kind in the movies
Well… you think you know a guy. I’ve spent my whole life being a pretty big Matt Damon fan and now it turns out he’s just your standard Hollywood hypocrite. Matt Damon thinks there should be a gun ban in the United States, but he’s got not problem playing make believe with toy guys. Doesn’t exactly add up, now does it? If Matt Damon is so anti-gun then why doesn’t he refuse to use them in his movies, huh? Because Drew Barrymore accomplished that feat sixteen years ago and she’s never looked back. Made a couple classic Charlie’s Angel flicks where she never touched a gun but still managed do get that coveted 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s possible, Matt. You can still make an entertaining action movie without using guns. Maybe think about that and have an internal conversation about how dedicated you are to the cause before spitting in the face of the second amendment. You don’t want guns? Starts at home, my friend.
PS – I was really excited for this movie but he only shoots 10 people? Come on. What is it rated G?
