According to social media reports that were quickly spun into local news reports that are now being spun into sarcastic blog posts, Big League Hollywood A-lister Matt Damon was spotted in and around Oklahoma City, Stillwater and Chickasha this weekend.
Accompanying him on his visit was fledgling actor / award-winning filmmaker Tom McCarthy. He played that lying reporter in Season 5 of The Wire, but is now better known as a filmmaker. He directed the Best Picture-winner Spotlight, and nearly cast Matt Damon in the lead role. Matt chose the Martian instead.
Now I guess the two are working together on a new project, and came to Oklahoma for "research purposes." Or maybe they lost a bet to Ben Affleck. Who knows. Either way, here's the duo mingling with common folk in Midtown.
