Blond Matt Damon in The Human Factor

Look who died his hair blonde? It’s Matt Damon. Hey Matt, did you also dye it down there? Some folks are wondering, you know.

Anyways, Matt Damon is shooting The Human Factor in Cape Town, South Africa. We are so looking forward to this movie because it is about one of our favorite world leaders, Nelson Mandela. Guess who’s playing Mandela in the movie? One of our favorite actors, Morgan Freeman. Of course, Matt Damon is also a favorite :-)

From Hello Magazine: Marching across a bridge in Cape Town at the head of a group of rugby players a blond Matt Damon is almost unrecognisable from his persona in the Bourne film series.

The scene was from his new movie The Human Factor, which examines Nelson Mandela’s attempts to unify the country after apartheid by focusing on the South African rugby team’s 1995 World Cup triumph.

Matt plays South African rugby captain Francois Pienaar in the film, which is directed by Clint Eastwood and stars Morgan Freeman as South Africa’s first black president. Both stars swatted up on rugby for the film, with Matt going so far as to join a local team’s training sessions in preparation.

The film is based on the book Playing The Enemy: Nelson Mandela And The Game That Made A Nation by British journalist John Carlin. Its screen adaptation was the brainchild of Morgan, who bought the film rights to the work.
