Matt Damon

That was a great movie in 1999. ( I could go on about how 1999 was a banner year for gay themes: The Talented Mr. Ripley, American Beauty, The Matrix, Star Wars, Eyes Wide Shut... ) It was one of Matt Damon's finest roles.
Highly subtle, charged with homoeroticism, and 3D characters...
I remember seeing Damon on an interview once where he stated that he lost weight and worked out to come into character. It is in contrast to beefing up and toning up for Bourne Identity/Supremacy.

I said this when Kuko posted the Jude Law vid, but, i love this movie. Even though Rioley was a bit of an asshole, i was completely on his side. I should watch my DVD tomorrow.

Talented Mr. Ripley is the movie that made me take notice of Matt. He has that All American Boy look. I like the movie even though his character was a psycho.
:smile: The limegreen turtleneck swimwear :smile: is one of those visual cues of Ripley's awkwardness. Remember that the story is set in the early 50s, so a bikini on a man is considered rather daring. It's an article of clothing that you can wear on the more liberated beaches of the Mediterranean but not back in Eisenhower's USA.
Notice the Italian guy in the White bikini on the left of the photo; he's wearing a bikini, too. It's high on the legs, but it's high enough on the waist as to not be considered too obscene. Ripley's neon green bikini, however, is more daring and makes him stand out like a beacon - a neon color against his pale skin. The suit screams, "I'm gay and don't know it yet". It's a symbol of Ripley's liberation from American cultural restraint. i.e. What happens in Italy stays in Italy

I am a big fan of this movie, too! (Normally, I don't post much but this thread 'outed' me!)
It also features Jack Davenport, who I find to be a major, major dreamboat. Love him on "Coupling" (The UK version), too. And speaking of "Coupling", that little Richard Coyle (who plays Jeff) is as cute as a bug's ear, too!
Wish I had a naked picture of Jeff (Richard) to share. I have my favorite "Jeff-isms" instead:

Matt starred in a movie called "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Early in the movie, there is a part where Matt is on a beach in Italy with a lime green lycra square cut that lets viewers see the outline of his dick. He looks about average size limp. I've checked him out in his other movies to see if I could see anything. My guess is that he usually wears briefs because I never see the outline of his penis.

These are the best stills I could find. Maybe just go see the movie? There's a great deal of homoerotic tension throughout, like the bath scene with Matt and Jude Law. (I'll attach a pic of that, too.) However, be warned, it's a dark, disturbing, suspense film, not a happy, light, romantic comedy.
