Matt Damon Quits Presidential Talk

By    |   Wednesday, 24 August 2011 12:20 PM EDT

Left wing filmmaker Michael Moore has some bizarre ideas, and one of them is that actor Matt Damon would make a viable presidential candidate in next year’s presidential campaign. But the liberal activist heartthrob says it’s not happening, The Hill reports.

As for Moore, he said during a panel discussion earlier this month, “I think that [Damon] has been very courageous in not caring about who he offends by saying the things that need to be said here. And if you want to win, the Republicans have certainly shown the way -- that when you run someone who is popular, you win."

Damon’s response, given to TMZ: “Yeah, I think there are probably better choices out there.”
