Jimmy Kimmel’s feud with Matt Damon has gone on for many, many years — and the Oscars host didn’t shy away from taking a dig at Damon at the ceremony on Sunday, either.
“I’ve known Matt for a long time now,” Kimmel said during his opening monologue. “I’ve known him so long, when I first met Matt I was the fat one. We’ve had problems, he’s a selfish person — those who’s worked with him know this. But he did something unselfish and I want to commend him for it.”
He proceeded to explain that Damon had the chance to star in Oscar-nominated film “Manchester by the Sea,” which has gone on to win numerous awards and has been lauded by critics, but instead, he served as a producer onย the film and gave the leading role to his childhood friend, Casey Affleck.
