Matt Damon Reveals He Got The Same Tattoo As Heath Ledger: 'It's Like An Angel'

"I just wanted to get something that Heath had," the actor said of his late co-star.

At this point, the words “Matt Damon” and “press tour” should send a slight shiver down your spine, given the actor’s many and well-covered public blunders as of late. Weeks after the debacle where Damon said his daughter had only recently educated him about not using a homophobic slur, the Oscar winner has somewhat surprisingly agreed to participate in another interview ahead of the release of his new film, “The Last Duel,” in which he co-stars alongside Ben Affleck. Since movies ― even ones with hilariously terrible wigs ― don’t promote themselves, Damon opened up in a wide-ranging GQ profile, published Wednesday, about practically everything except his most recent controversy, which he declined to further address. Readers did, however, glean a few personal and previously unknown tidbits about Damon, including the meaning behind his tattoos and how he operates a “very private Instagram account.”
