MATT DAMON ROUNDING UP BLACK CHILDREN IN AFRICA
March 16 2009
Pretoria, South Africa – Writer, producer, actor, business mogul, and even philanthropist Matt Damon has forged a life as a renaissance man. With multiple hit movies, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and an Academy Award under his belt it seems there is little that Damon isn’t capable of doing and now it appears he is adding one more title to his already overburdened name, slave trader.
Shots snapped of the actor in South Africa show the Oscar winner apparently rounding up young black children, ostensibly for scenes in his new movie, the Clint Eastwood directed ‘The Human Factor’. In the film Damon portrays real life Rugby star Francois Pienaar and his efforts to aid Nelson Mandela in bringing the 1995 Rugby World Cup to South Africa. Reports indicate that Damon, who has been known to through himself deeply into roles, has begun to enjoy ordering the children around and has ironically started to see the joys related to slavery and apartheid.
“Matt has gained weight and lost weight for roles. Put on muscle and completely changed his look to just commit himself completely to the part and this movie was no different. He learned Rugby and even coached a kid’s soccer team in an effort to get prepared, but things changed somewhere along the line,” said an insider working on the movie. “Maybe it’s the height difference, maybe it’s being in charge, maybe it’s the subject matter. Who knows? All I know is that we’ve been seeing changes in him and it’s getting kind of ugly.”
Damon has reportedly requested copies of known white supremacist books and has been surfing and contributing to numerous websites. Reportedly the actor has also carries a copy of ‘Mein Kampf’ onto set with him and has numerous nooses displayed in his trailer. It’s unclear how this new persona will affect his on and off screen presence with Morgan Freeman who will be portraying Mandela.
“Things are tense from what I’ve but both Damon and Freeman are professionals so hopefully it won’t affect the on screen product. Aside from the Hitler book Damon has mostly kept his new views to himself on the set and only practices in his downtime,” said Scrape TV Entertainment analyst Tracey Temple. “He has apparently set up a zone around his trailer for whites only which initially met with some resistance but has been respected, mostly at the request of Clint Eastwood who really doesn’t like drama on his sets.”
Clint Eastwood has been noted for his efficacy on the set as a director, generally only doing one take of scenes and completing the filming process very quickly. Though not racist himself, it is understood that Eastwood simply wants to get the movie shot and quickly move onto the next project. 
“Eastwood will be 79 years old soon so he doesn’t have a whole lot of time left to deal with on-set silliness. I’m sure he would prefer it if everyone just got along but sometimes that just doesn’t happen and you have to deal with the situation presented to you,” continued Temple. “The major concern here isn’t so much what will happen to ‘The Human Factor’ but what form Damon’s new film roles will take. Will he start to promote a racist or separatist agenda? Generally speaking Hollywood frowns on the promotion of political or social ideas in their films because it limits the audience. He’s also going to have trouble recruiting diverse casts for those types of films because ultimately you do need black people in a movie about hating black people.”
It’s not clear if Damon’s new philosophy also extends to other races, ‘mud’ people, or Jews as racism has generally done.
“The Jewish question will be the toughest one because, well, there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood and they make a lot of the decisions,” continued Temple. “One just hopes that he keeps his views in the closet unlike say John Travolta or Tom Cruise and keeps making entertaining movies. The last thing anyone wants to see is a washed up Matt Damon goose stepping down Hollywood Boulevard.”
We attempted to contact Damon’s representatives for comment but were met with only anger and racial slurs.
