Matt Damon Reveals Shocking Trump Tidbit

Matt Damon doesn't like Donald Trump's politics, but he doesn't have much use for the president's way of doing business with filmmakers, either. In a recent interview, Damon brought up Trump's rumored policy of needing to appear in any film that's shot in one of his buildings. Apparently, that explains that horrendous cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Matt Damon has never met Donald Trump, but he’s not a fan of the president, in part because of the demands he says filmmakers have to meet in order to shoot on his properties.

“The deal was that if you wanted to shoot in one of his buildings, you had to write him in a part,” Damon, 46, told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview released Friday.

“[Director] Martin Brest had to write something in ‘Scent of a Woman’ — and the whole crew was in on it,” he claimed. “You have to waste an hour of your day with a bulls—t shot: Donald Trump walks in and Al Pacino’s like, ‘Hello, Mr. Trump!’ — you had to call him by name — and then he exits. You waste a little time so that you can get the permit, and then you can cut the scene out. But I guess in ‘Home Alone 2’ they left it in.”

Chris O’Donnell, who starred in “Scent of a Woman” opposite Pacino, previously claimed that the cast was forced to film a scene with the now-president.

“We got new pages delivered to us one day when we were filming at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time, and it said we were doing a scene with Donald Trump,” O’Donnell, 47, told Conan O’Brien in April. “It was explained to us that in order for us to film at the Plaza, we had to have a little walk-on part for Donald and Marla [Maples].”
