This thing that James Corden does where he invites famous celebs with big, memorable filmographies to re-create their entire careers in eight minutes is pretty genius. Not just because it's fun watching these folks briefly inhabit their old roles, but also because it's a tremendous feat to pull off in such a short amount of time with costume changes and physical sets and the whole to-do.
Corden's latest bit stars The Martian's Matt Damon -- and in the span of eight minutes, they take us through a slew of Damon movies. From School Ties to Good Will Hunting to Ocean's 11 to Rounders to The Martian, if it's a popular Matt Damon movie, it's in here.
Check it out below.
Except there's one Matt Damon movie that's not in here, and it might feature Damon's greatest scene... ever?
Alright, so technically it's not a Matt Damon movie, which might explain why it's not part of the Corden sketch. But his cameo in Eurotrip -- in which he sings a song called "Scotty Doesn't Know" -- is perhaps the best Matt Damon moment in the history of on-screen Matt Damon moments.
First, he looks nothing like the handsome, polished Matt Damon we see in most of his movies. He's got a shaved head, tons of earrings and tattoos, and he belts out this song that's about how the girlfriend of our main character is cheating on him with Damon, and the thing is also kinda catchy, too.
Catchy enough to be in that James Corden sketch! Fans have been waiting for a long time to watch Damon re-create that moment in some way, shape or form, and sadly they'll have to keep waiting. Sorry Scotty fans.
And for more, here's Corden re-creating the careers of Tom Hanks and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
