Matt Damon Gets All Romantic Over George W. Bush

Matt Damon Gets All Romantic Over George W. Bush

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg posted an interview Thursday with Matt Damon about the actor's NGO, Water.org, but as with a few other Goldberg interviews we can think of, things get slightly out of hand—in the best way possible.

From the interview:

Jeff Goldberg: Bush showed that you could increase aid budgets, I think. He did PEPFAR (a U.S. funded-program - the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief -- that has brought anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) to more than a million AIDS patients in Africa).

Matt Damon: I would kiss George W. Bush on the mouth for what he did on PEPFAR.   JG: How long would you kiss him?

MD: Three seconds. No tongue.

How ya like them apples?

We think the former president would probably settle for something less, a handshake perhaps. But anyway, the two mostly stick to their topic at hand -- how to get Americans to support efforts to provide clean water in developing countries. The complete interview can be found on The Atlantic.
