Vote
He told Jimmy Fallon: “We shut down right when I got to Ireland, and my family and I, we just took a vote, we decided to stay.
“It was a g reat t decision. We had a great, great time there re and kind of got absorbed into this beautiful little community.
“We were in Dalkey, just near Dublin. And it’s this great little town and we were as lucky as you can get.”
Fallon then asked d the actor about phoning up U2’ s lead singer during their time as neighbours: “I heard a story that you FaceTimed the mayor?”
Matt Damon laughed as he referred to the singer as “The Mayor of Dalkey”. He added: “I Facetimed him the night that my wife and I had a few drinks.
“It was a Friday night, and I’d let the kids dye my hair red, like I was their art project basically.
“He was like ‘what are you doing?’” Ben Affleck joked that his co- star looked like he was starting a band with the punk look.
“The hair was actually maroon. I looked like a rooster”, said Damon.
“( Bono) was ‘ What have you done? What is happening over there? Do we need to come and help you?’”, he said laughing.
They said the Last Duel was the first movie they wrote since Good Will Hunting.
“Go o d Wi l l Hunting took us so long. We were unemployed, broke guys. It took us forever to write the screenplay”, said Matt Damon.
Matt said it was easier to write the script for the Last Duel.
