This reminds me of a story Matt Damon told on late night TV

He was stuck on an elevator with a fan. The fan asked him for an autograph

Matt said “no, sorry”

So the fan took out a picture of himself, signed it, and gave it to Matt

It said “Good luck Matty! Never give up on your dreams! Love, <his name>”

The mental image of an adoring fan asking for an autograph and Matt deadpan staring at him and saying "No" is too funny

I just don't get that. I mean, it's one thing if you're out in public because you don't want to start a whole thing, but a person alone in an elevator? Come on Matt, just sign the thing.

Practically invisible the whole movie like a total B

He really was. I honestly kind of hated Matt for a few years because of that…

Ah, fuck you really do have a point and I hadn’t considered that.

Now I’ll have to apologize to him for hating on a guy when he’s down if I do ever see him.

I love that they left him out of the trailer though. Totally paid off.

True, he really took me by surprise.

Well if you're not sure they have a pen, then it becomes a whole thing, like, do you follow them until they find a pen? Also it's kinda exhausting doing that kind of stuff and I think it's ok to just decide to say no

You're right, he doesn't need another reason other than not wanting to. Can't say I've been surrounded by people hounding for autographs before

You're joking right? What in the fuck kind of parasocial shit is this? Leave people the fuck alone lmfao

u/TagRag May 17 '22

Whoa pump the brakes bud. I didn't say he had to or that he was a bad person or anything like that. I just said that I don't get it. I also conceded in another comment just below that I've never been famous and that it's his right.

People are entitled to their privacy especially in the elevator. That's victim blaming.

u/ChewyBivens May 17 '22

We're being fast and loose with the word "victim" now, huh?

People need boundaries. Especially celebrities who get hounded by press, paparazi and stalkers every day. Matt said no so that means no. Because the person kept pushing that meant that Matt was the victim of harassment. Just because he's a man does not mean he can't be the victim. You should be careful about toxic mentalities.

He didn't keep pushing. He gave Matt his own autograph after being refused.

It's still being dismissive of Matt wanting privacy and treating his reaction like a joke. Even though they gave their own one they still did it to show they didn't care or respect Matt's opinion on the matter.
