BlogXilla sits down with Matt Damon to talk all things Elysium. During the interview Matt Damon gives his thoughts On Eminem playing his role in Elysium.
Nah man, you're forgetting what actors really do. You gotta remember that it's one thing if, when you see a movie, that was the one time they did it and he was able to put in all that enthusiasm and effort and make it that believeable. Now imagine each one of those scenes being reshot and reshot and reshot and reshot all day long. So do I agree that Eminem playing (a fictionalized version of) himself contributed to his good performance? Yes, BUT he was definitely still acting, and he did a competent job at that.
Johnny R not really, he played as a character and yes, very similar to his life but even though he had a character similar to himself, acting is acting it's hard either way and you need time and effort to do it
i hope he did a sequel of "8mile : Detroit vs. Everybody" whre B.Rabbit left detroit to battle up with america's biggest underground rapper and became the biggest name in hiphop industry just like marshall. oh shit this is fcking cool.😂
Mahiko2408 I think he could do both, I think the reason you see him more as a dramatic actor is that the only movie he's ever been in (well, major movie) was a drama. But I swear to God, I think he's probably one of the funniest rappers/musicians in the entire world. He actually could have been a comedian if he wanted to do that instead. RUclips "Eminem funny moments" for example and have a field day. So funny.
not about how they look. People confused their names, thats just it. As people who says al pacino to Robert Deniro, just because both of them are italian names
Well stan wasn't gay he had a gf and why because he said they were ment to be together why don't you go learn something about eminem you dumb homophobic fuck head
+Angelina C You notice, even though Matt is pretty smart and never a loss for words, still stumbled to put together a intelligent sentence to compliment Eminem in taking on the role.
no he wouldn't. Eminem has said that he isn't good at a lot of things and is open to criticism. he only will make songs on those who attack him or his family.
No... it's because Eminem was initially sought after to play the lead role in 'Elysium' but refused unless it was filmed in Detroit. The director was unable to fulfill his request so he looked for a different lead actor and Matt Damon was chosen. Eminem was persistent about the movie being filmed in Detroit because: (1) He's from there (2) Detroit is currently struggling economically and (3) It would bring in some serious revenue/capital for the city. That's why he was brought up.
Maybe Eminem would have been a better choice. I think the character called for someone a bit more "street." I found that lacking a bit in Matt Damon...
That's real stand up of him to feel as though it's his duty to uphold another persons image if he's confused for them. Other would be dicks, props Matt.
Even if he thought Em was a shitty actor and he said that, he could look forward to being dissed on a new track. You never say bad things about someone with such wicked rhymes.
I think thats why he was cautious... Thinking.. Fuck i dont want my career ruined... hahaha for example, Agulara, Spears, Cannibus, all boy bands, Vanilla Ice, Mariah carey, Nick cannon... i mean the list is endless. You dont diss eminem and live to tell about it.
4 minutes of my life I am never getting back. "Yeah I mean he would have been good. It would have been different you know. I mean, yeah, it would be interesting and yeah I mean different, yeah"

Have also found dexter recently...we aren't all murderers. Most of us just end up taking huge risks resulting in huge success or huge failure. We're the best people really: living entirely in our heads allows us to acknowledge those around us, so vividly, that we actually come off as emotionally generous! I see shrinks....I don't tell them that. What's the point?
Eminem has a sci-fi nerdy side - he has tons of references to star trek and star wars in his music videos and his lyrics alone aswell... Also he knew who Jigga was.
Damon was so careful with his words so Eminem didn't have to ruin another career.
True bro
Sansar Shrestha wut
@@sansarshrestha6285 you sure you're not thinking of Mark Wahlberg?
em dissed matt damon hard back in the day on the slim shady show animated series on comedy central
HAHAHAHAHA
3:19 they talk about Eminem
+Phoneixcupa Cheers :)
thank you my g
+Phoneixcupa ty
Thanks
+Phoneixcupa You the real MVP
Rule 1 if you're a celebrity, If someone asks you a question about Eminem in an interview, you say nothing but positive things lol
in 2018 this is no longer true
Faerhad Targaryen still true...
Sam Hunter not really...for the past month, there have been a lot of celebrities that have not said positive things at all
@@user-jk3xq1oc4c yeah i'm sure i'm not hearing voices, and i'll stick around if I want
Faerhad Targaryen Who talked bad about him and didn't get dissed in 2018?
8 mile was surprisingly not shit. eminem was one of the best actors in it and he had no experience
Didn't really act though as he was playing himself

skittlesareyum48 Remember lines, get into character. Seems pretty simple.
JACKSON 1990 ...money for nothing and your chicks for free
+JACKSON 1990 If it was simple you would do it. "roasted"
He was surprisingly good in 8 mile. I had low expectations when it first came out, but it was pretty good.
To be fair, he was playing himself in a sense.
+Johnny R To be fair, he got an Oscar
+Worst Case Scenario for best original song, get out!
Johnny R not really, he played as a character and yes, very similar to his life but even though he had a character similar to himself, acting is acting it's hard either way and you need time and effort to do it
He was also good in his little threat segments in the wash and that part in that Funny People when he was at the table with Adam Sandler
Eminem needs to do another movie.
No, he doesn't.
Shut the fuck up don't you know I love intestines to play with?
Michael Newton Vesty 9 Mile. Now with more guns, explosions and car chases. Rap scene edited by Michael Bay.
LootFragg featuring a rihanna OST
i hope he did a sequel of
"8mile : Detroit vs. Everybody" whre B.Rabbit left detroit to battle up with america's biggest underground rapper and became the biggest name in hiphop industry just like marshall. oh shit this is fcking cool.😂
Matt Damon's smart. He ain't trying to end up on the radio everytime Eminem's new hits comes on haha.
Blahblahblah haha😂
The interviewer looks like 50 cents younger brother 25 cent
Nah he the cousin of 50 cent, 5cent, that no one likes
Aidan Knerl 25 cent? More like 250 pounds. Get it? Cause they're both currencies. Dad jokes 2016
Call him Quarter Ton.
+Tony Goesham 😂😂😂
Nah its 2cents.
"as long as a new dude comes home every 6 months, shes good."
so she's cheating on Matt Damon.... with Matt Damon...
yes....
only Matt Damon mess up with Matt Damon XD
i hope matt damon dont finds out because matt damon would be fucked
or she's cheating on Matt Damon with Mark Whalberg,cause she can't tell the difference.
Yes. She and Sarah Silverman are fucking Matt Damon
As soon as the name Eminem was spoken, you can tell that Matt knew how to avoid being in one of Eminems diss tracks
Eminem is a good actor, but for a fairytale role like this? Nahhh, put him in a comedy.
Eminem is more of a drama type actor in my opinion.
Mahiko2408 Based off his personality, he fits more into comedy.
Mahiko2408 But his deadpan is perfect for comedy.

voteZDLR Actually I think is comedy role was amazing in The Interview.
Maybe it's just me but I've never gotten Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon mixed up..
it's not just you
yeah man...you gotta be mr magoo to messed that up
not about how they look. People confused their names, thats just it. As people who says al pacino to Robert Deniro, just because both of them are italian names
Because you are not stupid.
denzel washington and samuel l. jackson. Heard those mixed a lot
I wish Em did more movie roles. He's an amazing actor. I loved 8 mile. But I get why he's a rapper first, not an actor.
He wasnt being a dick. He complimented eminems acting skills. I wish em woulda said yes to the part I wanna see him in more movies
I seriously thought this was a Mark Walberg interview
Me too😂
Me three lmbo
me four lmyao
It is Mark Walberg
Aiden Chung No that's Matt Damon
I love Matt Damon. He is the most intelligent, respectful, humble and charismatic man in hollywood. I wish there were many more like hm.
I would have actually watched this movie if Marshal was in it
Well stan wasn't gay he had a gf and why because he said they were ment to be together why don't you go learn something about eminem you dumb homophobic fuck head
Matt Damon seems like such a nice guy. The Enimem question was kinda rude.
+Angelina C You notice, even though Matt is pretty smart and never a loss for words, still stumbled to put together a intelligent sentence to compliment Eminem in taking on the role.
+Garrett Lange somebody is jealous
Amy Curtis yea IKR
"he did a wonderful job" - Matt Damon on Eminem acting in 8 Mile.. that's it
Suprising interview
Hair, fighting, body build. Hard hitting questions, Blogxilla.
I would Love to see Eminem do a comedy he would be perfect. I love the scene in funny people.
When I need a laugh. Perfect scene. Hey Marshall.
He was in a movie called 'the wash' he's not really good in it though
Em is a legend in the Acting world as well as the musical world those are two pluses for him he has a great radio station too.
Hey, these were fun questions man and actually kept me engaged. Keep up the good work.
I thought he gave a classy response to the Eminem question. Matt has always been a classy guy, glad to see he's not an conceded or anything.
I want to see Eminem in some sci-fi shit.
Eminem in Star Wars episode XXX. Greatest rap battles in a galaxy far, far away
Like...... just a pic of Marshall in a pool of alien poop?
3:16 is the Eminem question.
This was really helpful, thanks!
Thank you.
Thank u :)
“I saw what he did to MGK, so I’m gonna be polite with this answer”
I came here only for EMINEM! 😊
Stan!
He knows he doesn't wanna say Eminem is shit because he'd slaughter him in of his songs hahahaha
L
no he wouldn't. Eminem has said that he isn't good at a lot of things and is open to criticism. he only will make songs on those who attack him or his family.

thank you so much :)
oohhh okay makes sense now, thank you and that wolverine example that was a great example
my fav actor talking about my fav artist
What is this background music? Please tell me, I am trying to find it because I really like it.
What's the name of the song on the background at the beginning of the interview ???
Eminem don't give a fuck about Oscar, he won the oscar and didn't even show up.
great interviewer
What is up with the interviewer looking like he came out of a tpain music video?
+MrEmelioestevez because he eats lots deep fried food and doesnt know which year he was born in.
+Kier Anne wat bout you? not a 2cm extra? NEVER tried Mcd?
no, i'm not 2cm extra. i have tried mcdonalds, but i don't depend on it. i am guessing you are overweight and took offence. i'm not sorry.
+Kier Anne tak tak. you no eat much MCD, you fink adaz wat 2 much? :)
congratulations on choosing english! i hope you learn how to speak it soon
Damon started out as a great actor…but some how or another continues to get better every year. VERY talented guy!
matt Damon is the shit. great words to say about a great rapper from a great actor. love it. an i would love to see eminem in another movie
i like the beats they were chill
3:18 Fuck me...they even removed this function...
it still works they just open up another page and thanks i did not catch that he was talking about eminem
the interviewer asks really good questions.
I'm surprised no one has said anything about copyright infringement over the godzilla roar
the beat in the background is from "Strapped up" - mo3
The song in the background is Got dat sack by Yo gotti.
for a second I thought the title was "Matt Damon talked about Eminem's acting skills on Grinder"
dirty click bait.
Yes! Thank you I'm not crazy for thinking Mark and Matt look similar and feel similar for some odd reason!
Now I love Damon !
this dude is chill as fuck
eminem has it all
Al Kimia just as i said he has it all
8 Mile is such a great and breathtaking movie :3
Soo good... Love eminem.
Slim shady *--*
The background music is Yo Gotti - i got dat sack
Matts a real nice guy in this.
hahaha hes just looking at this brother like "when you gonna ask me about eminem"
I'd love to see a casting video with Eminem for that role, I'd also love to see the shots from Back to the Future with Eric Stoltz as McFly.
Holy shit!...all this time and I had no idea that he was considered for the role!!
That beat tho !
This is the guy that played the new goblin in Spiderman lol
A solid 5 seconds of talking about Eminem.
Anyone know the music track in the background???
Whats tge song in the background? Anybody know?
Eminem should really be in a movie he can legit become a full fledged actor
Maybe Eminem would have been a better choice. I think the character called for someone a bit more "street." I found that lacking a bit in Matt Damon...
Matt Damon is a great actor!!
Mase, Black Rob, Lox, DMX - 24 Hours To Live... Great song
I like how 24 seconds in her references 24 hours to live
Elysium was a good popcorn ride
24 hours to live such a great song.
That's real stand up of him to feel as though it's his duty to uphold another persons image if he's confused for them. Other would be dicks, props Matt.
That's funny I always thought they looked a like, especially in the boogy nights/Bourne identity days.
DAMON IS A GOOD ACTOR, EMINEM IS GREAT MUSIC ARTIST, GOD BLESS.
Cant wait for the song "I'm fucking Mark Walberg".
Dope interview! He throws a little shade at Eminem.
If eminem was in that movie instead of damon, the movie would be a super super hit. It would be a legendary movie cause em is a legend
Even if he thought Em was a shitty actor and he said that, he could look forward to being dissed on a new track. You never say bad things about someone with such wicked rhymes.
I think thats why he was cautious... Thinking.. Fuck i dont want my career ruined... hahaha for example, Agulara, Spears, Cannibus, all boy bands, Vanilla Ice, Mariah carey, Nick cannon... i mean the list is endless. You dont diss eminem and live to tell about it.
damn whats that instrumental in the background
4 minutes of my life I am never getting back. "Yeah I mean he would have been good. It would have been different you know. I mean, yeah, it would be interesting and yeah I mean different, yeah"
"As long as a new dude comes home every six months" For REal! LOL

Matt Damon seems like a pretty cool guy.
i thought matt damon was in italian job,then i realized wahlberg is in the movie,after movie started.
I liked Elysium. I enjoyed the action of that movie and it reminded me of District 9
Great actor
matttt dayminn
He turned down the role caz it wasnt being shot in detroit
i was confused over that for years lol
seems like a good guy.
This is what you call real respect from hollywood.
the departed was the beat movie with matt damon

Matt Damon seemed exceedingly nice even as himself.
The Eminem question from the reporter was quite clever in gaining more publicity and key wording.....unless I'm missing the relevance it has??
The Eminem part is at 3:18
+Mr Murphy Murphy Geez... Chill out man
Simply Shuting your butt down!!
