With the new Jason Bourne film just one day away, Matt Damon is continuing his press run and stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to chat about the film, play Box of Lies, flying Trump Air and much more.
Perhaps one of the funniest moments in Matt Damon's visit was playing Box of Lies with Jimmy Fallon. The two sat on opposing sides of a table separated by a wall with just enough of an opening for them to communicate with each other.
Damon picked the first box which happened to be a potted plant with mini gnomes surrounding it. He told Fallon it was a lying slinky instead as an attempt to fool him.
Fallon wasn't sure but said that Damon was lying, which he was. It was Fallon's turn to pick a box and inside of it was a piggybank filled with shrimp.
He said it's an everyday thing that could be used as a paperweight.
He said it was a hot tub with Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Justin Bieber or Luke Skywalker. Damon questioned the Skywalker and Bieber part but thought Fallon was telling the truth.
Fallon picked up the win in Box of Lies with that one, scoring both points.
During his visit to the show, Damon also revealed that he took his daughter to meet Prince at the first concert she has ever been to.
He said he asked Prince if he was still living in Minnesota, however, Prince answered, "I live inside my own heart Matt Damon."
Damon spoke about his mom who was a professor before explaining how he used to fly Trump Air to get to his NYC auditions. As a special treat, Damon also explained that Tommy Lee Jones actually helped him afford to write Good Will Hunting.
