Matt Damon says Clint Eastwood shut him down on ‘Invictus,’ asking 'why waste everybody’s time?'
Matt Damon remembered being put in his place by one of Hollywood's finest as he reminisced on his decades-long career.
During an appearance on the "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast, the Oscar-winner revealed that Clint Eastwood had a few choice words for the actor while they worked together on the 2009 docudrama "Invictus."
While running down the list of directors Damon worked with, O'Brien admitted he couldn't get a sense of Eastwood's style.
MATT DAMON SAYS HE DROPPED TO ‘HIGH SCHOOL’ WEIGHT FOR EPIC TRANSFORMATION IN ‘THE ODYSSEY’
"I worked with him twice, and the first time was ‘Invictus,’" Damon recalled. "So I was playing a South African rugby player, and that's a really tough accent to do."

Damon spent six months working with a dialect coach to master the accent, with little interest from his director.
"It was a long … it was a lot of work," Damon said. "And I showed up and, and I'm, I'm ready. It's like my chance to work with, you know, one of my heroes."
Damon continued, "The very first take, I did it. And meanwhile, I've done this so many thousands of times. I have a number of different ways that I'm thinking of maybe doing the scene. So he goes, ‘Cut, print, move on.’

"I go, I go, 'Hang on, hang on, hang on, boss. I want to, you know, I want to do another one. I mean, I wasn't even in costume.' You know, that was like, that was the first one.
Damon remembered that Eastwood quickly responded, "He goes, 'Why you wanna waste everybody's time?'"
"I went, ‘No, I guess we're moving on."

While Eastwood's words may have seemed off-putting, the "Bourne Identity" actor insisted there was a "kindness" to his message.
"He is a lovely guy. What was really interesting is the second movie I did with him, there was this … it builds to a head with this, a scene with me and this 9-year-old kid," Damon said. "The 9-year-old kid was a non-actor, and we had done one take for everybody, all through ‘Invictus.'
"We must have done 40 takes with this little boy … we were trying to get this; it was this kind of huge moment in the film, and we were trying to get this stuff out of him. Clint was right next to me … like, we were right next to the camera together just working with this boy."
He added, "His whole mentality was … your crew will go to the ends of the earth for you if as long as you're not taxing them on every shot. When we need to get in there, we get in there. But for the most part we can … professional actors are gonna show up with something good. We keep the momentum."
New California bill named after Charlie Kirk, Melissa Hortman adds 'political affiliation' to hate crimes
A California bill introduced last week seeks to reduce political violence by adding political affiliation to the state's protected characteristics in order to classify it as a hate crime.
The bill, AB 1535, as first reported by the Orange County Register, is called the Hortman-Kirk Political Violence Prevention Act, and is named after former Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who were both murdered last year.
Under existing California law, hate crimes are criminal acts committed because of a victim’s actual or perceived characteristics such as race, religion, disability or sexual orientation.
AB 1535 would expand that definition to include political affiliation, defined as "the state of belonging to a political party, the endorsement of a political party or a platform of a political party, or the endorsement of a politician or a platform of a politician."
WHY POLITICAL ASSASSINATION CASES AREN'T AUTOMATICALLY DEATH PENALTY ELIGIBLE
State Assemblymember Laurie Davies, a Republican from Laguna Niguel, introduced the bill, saying it is intended to promote a culture in which free speech is valued and protected.
"Our nation was founded on political freedoms. However, political violence is detrimental to our democracy and shouldn’t be tolerated," Davies said. "Leaders are required to cool the temperature, not fan the flames. AB 1535 isn’t just about protecting Californians; it’s about a cultural reset. It’s a commitment to the idea that every Californian has the right to their political views without fear of being targeted by those who see them as an enemy rather than a neighbor."
Under current state law, political affiliation is already a protected category in civil contexts such as employment or housing, but not within criminal hate crime statutes, according to Davies. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

"This measure ensures that our justice system recognizes political violence for exactly what it is: a hate-motivated crime," she said.
Hortman and her husband were fatally shot in a targeted attack at their home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on June 14, 2025.
Kirk was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, at a speaking event for Turning Point.
A similar bill adding political affiliation as a protected characteristic in hate crime law was introduced in Washington in December.
Some law enforcement experts have warned that political violence is on the rise, citing high-profile attacks, including the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and two assassination attempts against now-President Donald Trump in 2024.

Pope Leo XIV calls out jihadist violence, warns ‘Orwellian-style’ ideology is eroding free speech in the West
During an address to members of the diplomatic corps on Friday, Pope Leo XIV warned that "Orwellian-style" ideology is taking root in the West and undermining free speech.
"It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking," Pope Leo said. "At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it."
The pope said freedom of conscience is also increasingly under attack.
"At this moment in history, freedom of conscience seems increasingly to be questioned by States, even those that claim to be based on democracy and human rights," Pope Leo said. "This freedom, however, establishes a balance between the collective interest and individual dignity. It also emphasizes that a truly free society does not impose uniformity but protects the diversity of consciences, preventing authoritarian tendencies and promoting an ethical dialogue that enriches the social fabric."
The Pope also condemned "jihadist violence," and addressed the persecution of Christians, calling it "one of the most widespread human rights crises today, affecting over 380 million believers worldwide."
"Here, I would especially call to mind the many victims of violence, including religiously motivated violence in Bangladesh, in the Sahel region and in Nigeria, as well as those of the serious terrorist attack last June on the parish of Saint Elias in Damascus," he said. "Nor do I forget the victims of jihadist violence in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique."
CHRISTIANS TARGETED IN SYSTEMATIC KIDNAPPING CAMPAIGN IN NIGERIA BY JIHADI HERDSMEN, EXPERTS SAY
In August, Fox News reported that international observers witnessed ISIS-aligned soldiers were beheading Christians and burning churches and homes in central and Southern Africa, with some of the most brutal attacks happening in the nation of Mozambique.
It is estimated that more than 16 million Christians have been displaced from their homes in sub-Saharan Africa, facing threats of persecution, kidnapping, sexual violence and, in some cases, death from Islamist radicals.

"That being said, I am also the kind of person that's like, 'I'll just make myself have sex, and I'll feel better,'" she added.
"So I'll shut that part off and … then once I have sex and I get that dopamine going and that connective tissue back a little bit, then I can kind of – it actually opens something up for me. Then I'm like, ‘Oh, I actually feel more connected than I did.’"

Hudson went on to give blunt advice for anyone looking to reconnect with their partner.

Hudson is currently engaged to musician and actor Danny Fujikawa. The Lightwave Records founder and Hudson took their relationship to the next level after 15 years of friendship, welcoming their daughter in 2018.
The "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" star revealed how the pair had met in a 2017 Instagram post.
"The first time I met Danny I was 23 and enormously pregnant with Ryder. His step sisters are my best friends @sarafoster @erinfoster and so it goes we have been in the same circle for over a decade! A year ago today Danny took me on a hike and what I thought was just a hike with a family friend turned very quickly into an unexpected first date," she wrote in December 2017 on Instagram. "No moves were made on this first date. In fact, it took months for him to make a first move! And as a kiss on this bridge would have been nice, the kiss a year later was so much sweeter."
"So on our 15th year of knowing each other we were able to open our hearts to each other to feel so much pure love and it’s been truly incredible.!"

Trump rips congestion pricing, calls for immediate end: 'A disaster for New York'
President Donald Trump called for New York City to end its congestion pricing model, calling it a disaster.
"Congestion Pricing in Manhattan is a DISASTER for New York," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It’s got to be ended, IMMEDIATELY! It’s never worked before, and it will never work now. I love New York, and hate to see it being destroyed so rapidly with such obviously foolish "policy." Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
New York began congestion pricing in January 2025.

The program uses electronic license plate readers and charges most drivers a $9 toll during peak periods to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street in an attempt to reduce congestion and raise funds to improve mass transit.
Months after it began, the city said it reduced traffic in the impacted areas by 8% to 13%.
Trump has long voiced criticism of the congestion pricing program.
He tried and failed to end it, and threatened to withhold federal funds from the city if officials didn't kill it.
On Jan. 5, the one-year anniversary of the program. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul touted it as successful.
"The opposition’s kind of calmed down, right?" Hochul said at a press conference. "Anybody noticed that it’s calmed down because people like getting across the bridges faster. They like coming to the city with more time on their hands. They’re happy not to sit in traffic."
Fox News Digital reached out to the office of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Minnesota sues Trump admin over sweeping immigration raids in Twin Cities
Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued the Trump administration Monday, seeking to block a massive federal immigration enforcement surge they say has flooded the Twin Cities with armed agents, sparked fear and unrest, and interfered with state and local authorities, according to court filings.
The lawsuit names Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, top officials with DHS, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), including Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, along with the federal agencies themselves.
"We’re here to announce a lawsuit we're filing against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to end the unlawful, unprecedented surge of the federal law enforcement agents into Minnesota," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said during a news conference Monday. "We allege that the obvious targeting of Minnesota for our diversity, for our democracy and our differences of opinion with the federal government is a violation of the Constitution and of federal law."
Ellison said the deployment of thousands of armed and masked DHS agents to Minnesota has done "serious harm" to the state, calling for what he described as a "federal invasion" of the Twin Cities and Minnesota to stop.
The plaintiffs accuse federal immigration agents of carrying out militarized raids across the Twin Cities, including stops at schools and hospitals, engaging in racial profiling, warrantless arrests and excessive force, and overwhelming local law enforcement, while claiming the operation was politically motivated retaliation rather than legitimate immigration enforcement.
"DHS agents have sown chaos and terror across the metropolitan area," Ellison said. "Schools have gone [into] lockdown. Entire districts have had to cancel school for tens of thousands of students to ensure safety and offer online education."
"Local businesses are struggling," he added. "Revenues are down, and some retail stores, daycares and restaurants have actually closed because people are afraid to go out."
The lawsuit comes nearly a week after an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman during a federal enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. Federal officials have said agents were attempting to make arrests when the woman tried to use her vehicle as a weapon against officers, prompting an ICE agent to fire in self-defense.

"On January 7, 2026, a DHS agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, leaving her children without a mother and her 6-year-old son without either parent," Ellison said. "This has to stop… it never should have started."
Ellison said the scope and scale of the federal operation has strained public safety resources and disrupted daily life across the Twin Cities.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the enforcement surge goes far beyond traditional immigration operations and has made communities less safe.

"What we are seeing right now is not normal immigration enforcement," Frey said. "The scale is wildly disproportionate, and it has nothing to do with keeping people safe."
The Trump administration pushed back sharply against the lawsuit, with DHS accusing Minnesota leaders of undermining public safety and obstructing federal law enforcement.
"Keith Ellison made it abundantly clear today he is prioritizing politics over public safety," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. "It really is astounding that the Left can miraculously rediscover the Tenth Amendment when they don’t want federal law enforcement officers to enforce federal law – which is a clear federal responsibility under Article I, Article II and the Supremacy Clause – and then go right back to federalizing every state responsibility possible when they get back in power. Spare us."
TRUMP PLEDGES TO UNCOVER LEFTIST GROUPS COUNTERING ICE
"Sanctuary politicians like Ellison are the exact reason that DHS surged to Minnesota in the first place," McLaughlin continued. "If he, Tim Walz, or Jacob Frey had just done their sworn duty to protect the people of Minnesota they are supposed to serve to root out fraud and get criminals off the street – if they had worked with us to do it – we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place."
McLaughlin cited multiple examples of criminal illegal aliens she said Minnesota leaders are protecting, including individuals convicted of rape, child sexual assault, kidnapping, homicide and other violent crimes, some with final orders of removal dating back decades.
Among them, she highlighted a man from Laos who she said was convicted of strongarm sodomy of a boy, strongarm sodomy of a girl, aggravated sex offenses, multiple counts of larceny and fraud, burglary, drug possession and obstruction of justice, and who received a final order of removal in March 2018.
McLaughlin said other examples included criminal illegal aliens from Laos, Guatemala, Somalia, Sudan, Burma and Sierra Leone, with convictions ranging from sexual assault and homicide to DUI-related deaths, and final orders of removal dating as far back as August 1996.
Jennifer Lawrence says she 'identifies as a stay-at-home mom' despite her Hollywood success
Jennifer Lawrence identifies as a "stay-at-home" mom who loves to do nothing.
On Monday's episode of the "Smartless" podcast, which is hosted by Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, Lawrence said that she isn't used to being so busy and normally only dedicates a few months out of the year to film a movie.
"That's me. I identify as a stay-at-home mom," the actress said. "But I am obviously working."
Lawrence recently wrapped up a press tour for her film, "Die My Love," where she starred alongside Robert Pattinson.

"I'm not used to being busy like this. I normally have a busy like three months while I'm filming, but even in that sense, it's calm because there is nothing else to do," Lawrence said. "I just go to work, I do that, I come home, I sleep, and then I do it again. And then, like, two weeks while you promote – it is hectic."
Bateman said he "loves not doing anything," to which Lawrence replied with a simple, "Yeah."
The "Hunger Games" star explained that going on podcasts isn't the problem, but having Q&As scheduled at 9 p.m. is where she draws the line.
"Oh. I'm in bed. Kindle is lit until like 9:15. And then I don't even have, like, Kindle light on normally by 9:15," Lawrence said, explaining that she falls asleep reading her Amazon Kindle fairly early every night.

The star said that during the holidays, she was invited to a party that began at 9 p.m. and immediately turned it down.
"You can't be hungover with a nine-month-old. Even a three-year-old is just not an option," Lawrence said.

Tyler Robinson prosecutors say Charlie Kirk shooting texts show confusion, not bias, to rebut conflict claim
Prosecutors are urging a judge to deny accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson’s bid to disqualify a prosecutor, arguing there is no conflict of interest.
In a sweeping 33-page filing, submitted under seal earlier this month and now released in redacted form, the state argues the deputy prosecutor at the center of Robinson’s motion has no personal conflict despite the fact that his 18-year-old child was in the crowd when Kirk was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.
Prosecutors say the teen, a student at UVU, was one of "thousands of other witnesses" and had no personal knowledge of the actual murder, never saw the shooting, and never saw a weapon.
The filing includes text messages exchanged between the prosecutor and his teenager in the minutes after the shooting, which prosecutors argue underscore that lack of firsthand knowledge.
ERIKA KIRK HAS ‘NOTHING TO SAY’ TO THE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING HER HUSBAND
In the messages, the teen initially texts, "SOMEONE GOT SHOT," and reassures family members, "I’m okay, everyone is going inside." Only later, after hearing information from others, does the teenager text, "CHARLIE GOT SHOT," followed by messages relaying what "people were saying" about where Kirk was hit and where the shooter may have been positioned.
Prosecutors argue the texts reflect confusion and secondhand information — not emotional trauma or direct involvement that could improperly influence prosecutorial decision-making.
Read the filing here:
The filing further details that the teen was roughly 85 feet away, had no line of sight to the shooter due to buildings blocking the view, and fled the area after hearing what sounded like a loud "pop."
In a sworn affidavit, the teen described being scared in the moment but suffered no lasting trauma, required no counseling and quickly returned to normal school and work activities.
Robinson’s motion also points to the prosecution’s decision to seek the death penalty on the same day charges were filed, arguing it reflects bias or a rush to judgment.
Prosecutors reject that claim, saying the decision was based on the strength of the evidence, Utah law and a desire to curb speculation and misinformation in a case that immediately drew national and international attention.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while answering a question during the outdoor forum attended by roughly 3,000 people. Robinson is charged with aggravated murder and faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted.
Defense attorneys argue that while the trauma of the shooting is undeniable, it makes prosecutorial neutrality even more essential — not less. They contend the presence of a prosecutor’s family member at the event creates an unacceptable risk that decisions could be influenced by emotion rather than evidence.
A judge is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion Friday, Jan. 16. If the court grants Robinson’s request, the entire Utah County Attorney’s Office could be removed from the case, forcing the appointment of a special prosecutor and potentially delaying trial proceedings — including the state’s pursuit of the death penalty.
