Matt Damon and Emily Blunt make joint appearances on the cover of Men and Women’s Health’s March issues to promote their upcoming film The Adjustment Bureau, out March 4. Matt was much thinner when he made that movie, as it was before he put on some sympathy pounds during his wife’s last pregnancy. (Or maybe he was gaining weight for his role in We Bought a Zoo.) Still, these covers seem so false to me, particularly Men’s Health, which Photoshopped him even thinner than Women’s Health. The dude has put on at least 20 pounds since these photos were taken and he’s hot either way (I would hit that like a house on fire) but he just doesn’t look like this anymore. I don’t think he even looked like that back then.
Anyway Matt and Emily talked about their rapport on set, and it sounds like they got along very well and were fast friends. Matt also made some choice comments comparing star vehicle movies to watching people masturbate. I just love him.
Matt on Emily’s acting abilities: “There are a lot of great actresses her age right now, but Emily is just f—king unbelievable.”
Emily on having fun with Matt: “I met Matt and he was lovely and very funny, and instantly, I thought, ‘Oh, we could be like teenage boys together. Just be weird and stupid and silly.'” Emily on getting in shape to play a ballet dancer: “I looked like an aerobics teacher. My shoulders puffed out, my back looked like there was a barrel of snakes in it and I had an eight-pack!”
Matt on movies that are just star vehicles: “That’s like watching someone jerk off, really. It’s just absolutely not at all interesting, and not something I want to spend any time doing.”

I just re-watched the trailer for The Adjustment Bureau (below) and this movie looks so damn good! Damon is such a great actor and it comes through in everything he does. Blunt holds her own too. I can’t wait to see it.
I need to just point something out though – the Bourne movies became a star vehicle for Matt Damon, even if the first one wasn’t written for him specifically. It doesn’t matter though because there are plenty of us who would love to spend a couple of hours watching him jerk off.
Here are promotional photos of Matt and Emily in The Adjustment Bureau. I guess he was that thin. via Allmoviephoto.
Why is he like, a foot taller than her in one photo and only like, two inches taller than her in the other?
It looks like one of the photos is flipped. I don’t know which one though, as I’m not a Damonic.
On the BW Men’s Health one, MD’s chin looks like Edward Norton’s, in a way. Totally strange, what they did to him.
I have never thought Matt looked like Leo DiCaprio until I saw the Men’s health photo..I mean yikes.
I dont think they made him look thinner, look at recent pics he’s chubby but not fat, but he sure doesnt look like him.
When I first saw this cover, I thought something terrible had happenend to Leo DiCaprio.
This movie looks AWESOME! Can’t wait!
He looks like Leo DiCaprio. That was my first thought.
2. thought – is that Megan Fox?
I think Men’s Health have overdone it and they made him taller. Guys obviously have as many hangups as women.
CB, I have to respectfully disagree about Bourne becoming what I’d consider star vehicles for Damon. The 2nd and 3rd Bourne movies followed a believeable story arc. I consider Oceans 12 and 13 good examples of star vehicles/vanity pieces that were not required and just gave Clooney and and co (admittedly Damon included, but mostly Clooney and Pitt) a chance to hang out, crack a few jokes and make $$$$ and not in a very interesting fashion.
he looks like Leo DiCaprio in the first one

==========================================
forgetting the ocean movies matty????
I’ve liked Matt Damon since he did that “I’m f*cking Matt Damon” song with Sarah Silver (I think that’s her). GSOH.
HAHAHA, He looks like Leonardo Dicaprio. Why mess so much with how one looks?
It’s funny that a bunch of us think he looks like Leo DiCaprio in that photo, bc the whole time I was watching DiCaprio in Inception, I kept saying to myself… “I would like this movie a lot more if this was Matt Damon!”
Not sure why I dislike him…I don’t even think he’s remotely good looking. Maybe it’s his close friendship with icky Ben Affleck. (and yea, I realize I probably spelled Affleck wrong)
It is photoshopped enough that I couldn’t recognize him in the first look and second look and third look and MD is not really very good looking (shields up) but these pictures are just not him..
Dicaprio worked with Megan Fox in a movie??
How could anyone not love these two? They’re awesome, beautiful, talented, charming, and the trailer is interesting. But why does Matt look like Leo DiCaprio in that first one? He’s so lovely as he is.
You can tell where the shop job was done in the shadow under the chin and jowls. I don’t care, like Kaiser, I would hit this one repeatedly, chubby or not.
I like most of his work-he gives off a reality vibe. Not at all pin-up or phony.
I love Matt Damon.
Co-sign the Leonardo DiCaprio comments.
I know right?
The white space between the two of them on the Women’s Health cover looks especially photoshopped. Stop the madness!
I would say a good 20 pounds was shed off in the photo shop and he looks younger also.
Sorry but his acting is as wooden as his Team America puppet character….now every time I see him in a movie all I hear come out of his mouth is “Matt Damon… Matt Damon…” bleh!
This film looks awesome. I have friend who worked as a gaffer on it and he raved about the whole filming environment and said the dailies were so good that he can’t imagine how suspensful the final cut will be!
I thought DiCaprio right away. They gave him Leo’s eyebrows, eyes, and mouth.
“Scotty doesn’t know… Scotty doesn’t know… Don’t tell Scotty…” Best random song ever… lol.
the plot, of course, makes no sense but ill still see it
Why did they photoshop his face on Men’s Health so much?!
He looks about 19, and it is not hot.
This movie looks good. It looks like a movie that makes you think. Hollywood just doesn’t seem to make many of those anymore!
Buster Poindexter! or that bamboo noodle guy from the Hong Kong episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations
This is a very fascinating article. I have had a job in the wind energy sector for about 10 years and it is amazing how quickly things are changing. For most of us this is a extremely exhilarating moment of history so let’s make sure stay on the pace.
