Actors do have strange lives. Not only do they have challenging roles to play, they are also supposed to get so much engrossed in the roles that their own personality and image stands nowhere. Matt Damon is best known for his performance in the movies such as “Courage Under Fire” (1996), “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (1999), “The Informant!” (2009), and sci-fi drama “Elysium” (2013).

Portraying the character of a dying man who has just five days of life left to him, Matt was to bulk up his body with muscles to make him suit the character. Although fetching dramatic transformation in weight was nothing new to the Oscar winner, but he does confess that with burgeoning age, things are not that simple and stress-free now as they were in his twenties.
