Matt Damon Eats Ben Affleck To Gain Weight For The Informant!

For his upcoming role in The Informant!, popular actor Matt Damon was forced to gain 30 pounds, a feat he accomplished by ingesting less-popular actor, Ben Affleck.

While many stars struggle to gain weight for roles, Damon had no problem putting on the weight.

"It was very, very easy to put on the pounds. And very fun," Damon said. "I just ate Ben Affleck one afternoon. And whether it was for this movie or not, eating Ben Affleck was something that was bound to happen."

Damon explained that his nutritionist told him not to concern himself with his health and gave him the green-light to eat anything he saw.

"All I saw was Affleck," Damon said of his former-best friend, who he feasted on during a weekend getaway to brainstorm script ideas. "And it's not like I was a crazed, savage when doing it, tearing him apart limb by limb; I just swallowed him whole. That said, let's go shoot a movie."

The Good Will Hunting actor said he did not regret devouring a human being, nevermind such a prominent one.

"What, would you rather me eat Casey Affleck?" Damon asked. "Let's get serious."
