A long-running fake ‘war’ between actor Matt Damon and American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has blossomed into a star-studded online feud, with the two celebrities creating ever more elaborate and insulting music videos ridiculing each other.
The caper started 18 months ago on the Jimmy Kimmel Live, show when the host made a tradition of closing out episodes with, Apologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time, even though the actor was never scheduled to come on the show.
The running gag continued until Damon finally appeared as a guest on Kimmel’s show — only to be cut off by Kimmel as soon as he sat down.
The actor unleashed a fake barrage of swear words on Kimmel and proceeded to storm off the set. His performance was so believable, many fans thought he was really upset.
Finally, after months of rumoured ‘bad blood’ between the two, Matt Damon fired back in early February by getting Kimmel’s girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, to appear in a raunchy spoof video clip titled I’m F***ing Matt Damon — which has generated over 8 million hits on YouTube.
But the talk show host got his own back in spectacular style on Monday night by premiering his own video, I’m F***ing Ben Affleck featuring a bevvy of major stars, including Affleck, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Don Cheadle, Robin Williams, Huey Lewis, Dominic Monaghan, Josh Groban, Christina Applegate, Meat Loaf, Jane\'s Addiction\'s Perry Farrell, Lance Bass, Joan Jett, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and a gospel choir.
Jimmy enjoyed every second, every morsel of [Silverman\'s video], but immediately began plotting his revenge, Jill Leiderman, the show\'s executive producer is reported to have told MTV.com.
The next morning, he said to me, \'I need to get Ben Affleck.\' So I reached out to Ben\'s representation and wrote him an impassioned letter explaining the chronology and history of the Matt Damon-Jimmy Kimmel feud. Within an hour, Ben was signed on to participate.
The show and the participants in the online video feud are hoping punters will see the humour in the curse-laden videos.
Hearing a gospel choir and 20 celebrities singing this song about Jimmy and Ben f***ing each other was the most resonant, rich sound, bellowing and bouncing off the walls of the recording studio — it was a religious experience, Leiderman reportedly joked.
According to the MTV article, it was Affleck\'s idea to wrangle Harrison Ford for an appearance. Ben found out that Harrison had seen [Sarah\'s] video and was tickled by it, and he encouraged us to reach out to Harrison to participate, she said. They came back and told us that Harrison was interested in participating in any capacity we wanted him to — and he spent the entire day with us, shooting at the Roosevelt Hotel [in Hollywood] and then over at the recording studio. He was a trooper to be part of Jimmy\'s revenge.
