Damon stayed on the gridiron for his next role: East Dillon wide receiver Hastings Ruckle. Don't tell Coach Taylor, but "I'm sports-lexic," the actor says, laughing.

"I played football when I was in middle school. This is a really embarrassing story: A buddy recently sent me a message congratulating me on Aquarius and stuff. He was like, 'I remember when we were playing football and you were running around that field like a lost kid.' He's so right."



Thank goodness for stunt doubles… even if they inspire a bit of insecurity.

"The guy who would run for me and do those stunts and stuff, he was in way better shape than me," Damon says, laughing. "And so I'm hitting the gym every day trying to look more like my stunt double. It's ironic, in that he's supposed to look like me!"
