Kissing Scarlett Johansson: Matt Damon Recalls “Hellish” Experience

Matt Damon recently shared his less-than-pleasant experience of kissing Scarlett Johansson during a scene that left him in discomfort.

The 52-year-old actor reminisced about the incident that occurred while filming the 2011 comedy movie We Bought A Zoo, where he starred alongside Johansson in a story revolving around a man who purchases a rundown zoo after losing his wife.

During a playful game session for LadBible with his Oppenheimer co-star Emily Blunt, Damon delved into the topic of kissing co-stars when presented with the statement, “You should inform someone if they have bad breath.” Both actors expressed their agreement with the statement, revealing that rather than directly addressing bad breath, they would opt to offer gum instead.

Damon humorously recounted the moment of kissing Johansson on set, playfully referring to it as “hell.” He amusingly narrated how Johansson had consumed an onion sandwich before the scene, leading to an unexpected olfactory experience during the intimate moment, much to his dismay.

The Good Will Hunting star's latest venture sees him portraying Lt Leslie Groves Jr, the Manhattan Project director, in Christopher Nolan's upcoming biopic Oppenheimer, featuring Cillian Murphy as the key figure behind the atomic bomb.

In a recent interview with the film's ensemble, Damon revealed a quirky promise he had made to his spouse during therapy sessions.

He jokingly recounted how he had negotiated a break from acting post-Interstellar but included a clause that allowed him to return if Christopher Nolan extended an offer, highlighting the unpredictability of Nolan's casting decisions and his eagerness to collaborate with the acclaimed director.

Damon's anecdote sheds light on the dynamics within his personal life and professional commitments, showcasing a blend of humor and candid revelations from his journey in the entertainment industry.
