That headline is a lot to live up to. Ideally this story would be about an intoxicated, shirtless Matt Damon turning up at a catwalk show and trying to fight Lily Cole while singing the theme tune from Team America: World Police. But it isn't
The truth is some shifty geezer talked his way into a swanky Gwen Stefani fashion show in New York by claiming he was Matt Damon’s publicist. The conman blagged three front-row seats (one for him and a pair for Matt and his wife), but may have regretted his decision when dozens of paparazzi turned up to snap the Bourne star.
Matt Damon’s actual publicist sounds nonplussed about the whole thing: "He's never been to a fashion show, to my knowledge," she said.
Allegedly the hustler is one Jay Berman. Other media organisations say he’s been metaphorically and literally dining out on the Matt Damon story for quite a while, attending all manner of parties.
By the way if you want to know how the story ends Berman sat and watched the show and then went home scot free. Zero comeuppance. Berman, you are an inspiration to all wannabe swindlers, charlatans and bullsh*t-merchants. We salute you.
