Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey are old pals, at least according to Damon they are, which may explain why the best buddy of Ben Affleck is in Interstellar playing against type. The Elysium star has almost always been synonymous with the Argo star and director as the two grew up as best friends in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In his most recent film role, the “closely guarded secret” that Christopher Nolan kept under wraps for as long as possible, Damon plays Dr. Mann the second explorer on the other side of the wormhole that Cooper and co visit in Interstellar.
The actor’s presence in the film, playing a different sort of character, adds to the actor’s ever increasing resume of diverse roles. What is interesting, however, about Damon’s part in this epic space film is not his character. Although he is quite interesting (and that is as far as this writer will discuss the part of Dr. Mann, to get a real treat go see Matt in the role) it is the connection between McConaughey and Damon that is more interesting.
Even though the True Grit star does a great “Matthew McConaughey” as evidenced on several different YouTube videos – the best of which is the first one where Matt talks about going shirtless on David Letterman – and the Bourne star mentions that he and the Texan are old pals who roomed together when they were young underemployed actors. It is this news that makes the casting of Damon in Interstellar sort of serendipitous.
Although the information that the two men know one another may not be too pertinent in relation to them working together in the Christopher Nolan masterpiece. What could be more interesting is the fact that the last and only time they worked together was in a 1995 comedy film titled Glory Daze. The only film to be written and directed by Richie Wilkes who only sat in the director’s chair once, but has written a number of filmed screenplays not least of which is the Vin Diesel vehicle XXX. The movie, actually starred Damon’s childhood friend Affleck and Sam Rockwell.
The film has been described as a version of National Lampoon’s Animal House and looking at the cast list, where one can discover Damon’s name way down toward the bottom, Matt’s character is listed as Edgar Pudwhacker so perhaps there is a little resemblance to the former film. Rather interestingly, Matthew McConaughey’s name is higher up on the cast list than Damon’s. There appears to be no real rationale for this. At that point in their careers the best friend of Ben Affleck had more credits under his acting belt than Matthew.
So the two men who once roomed together when they were younger and had a lot less money have not worked on the same feature film since 1995. So can the fact that Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey are in Interstellar have anything to do with being old pals? There is one possibility open that may explain why Damon was chosen. The actor did his first impression of the star in the Chris Nolan film back 2012 on the Letterman show a long time after 1995. This was such a hit with the audience and with McConaughey that he did it several more times. Could it be that Matthew enjoyed Damon’s little party trick so much that he suggested his old roommate for the role of Dr. Mann? Just a thought. To see the impression and the reaction to it just watch the videos below.

Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!
