Matt Damon thinks the world would be a better place if only his fellow Americans would get out there and see the world. At least that's what he told Conde Naste Traveler in a recent interview.
"I think many of our problems as a country would be solved if people had thick passports," Damon said.
"There's just no substitute for actually going and seeing things," he says.
Damon said that his experience of being a rich Hollywood celebrity have made him want to do more for the world.
"You start to feel a level of responsibility to direct attention to things that actually matter more than to silly things like who you're dating," he said.
I'll give Damon credit for attempting to sound smart with this interview, but it seems he's missing a few obvious things. Charity begins at home, and many of Matt Damon's fellow Americans are hurting. Perhaps volunteering right here in the good old USA would be a positive thing as well.
