Matt Damon On Politics: 'The Game Is Rigged'
Matt Damon is not only one of Hollywood's best actors, but also a top interviewee. The 42-year-old star rarely censors himself in interviews, offering unfiltered opinion and honesty that belies his standing as an A-list star. In a new chat with Playboy, Damon continues that trend by providing commentary on the recent presidential election and politics in general.
"We're at a point where politicians don’t really get any benefit from engaging with long-term issues," Damon said. His new film, "Promised Land," is tangentially about fracking, an environmental issue of growing concern in the United States, but not one politicians seem eager to discuss.
"It's all about the next election cycle. Those guys in the House don't do anything now but run for office," Damon continued. "So unless they can find some little thing that zips them up a couple of points in the polls, they're not interested."
Damon is often open about his politics. In a widely disseminated interview with Elle last year, the star dinged President Barack Obama for not being forceful enough.
