Matt’s Snack Time

Our photogs spotted Matt Damon filming in Van Nuys today. He’s currently shooting The Informant, in which he plays Mark Whitacre, a real-life whistleblower who helped the FBI investigate his company; only to serve prison time later for embezzling from the same company. It’s based on a book written by New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald and it sounds like a really good plot. I heard Matt had to gain weight for the role, but he looks pretty slim in these pics. A native Bostonian, Matt’s been present at the Staples Center cheering on his Celtics against my Lakers. Too bad the Lakers are going to pull of a miracle and crush the Celtics in seven games. And when that happens, Matt will find comfort in Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg’s arms, both also from Bean Town.
