Matt Damon is dishing on his new 'stache.

"This is for my new movie with the Coen Brothers. We're redoing True Grit," he recently told New York Post columnist Cindy Adams. "I'll show it to them this week. If they like it, fine. If not, I'll try again. I actually hate the thing."

Damon, 39, debuted the facial fuzz Feb. 25 at the NYC premiere of Green Zone (out March 12), in which he plays a U.S. Army officer on the hunt for Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Despite all the stunts, Damon said he went uninjured while shooting.

"Naah," he told Adams when she asked if he had any scratches.

As for adjusting to life in Morocco (where the flick was filmed)?

"You automatically don't think 'if' when you talk about your tummy getting upset, you think 'when,'" Damon joked.

Still, he doesn't mind the sometimes hectic world of moviemaking.

"Y'know, this is all I ever wanted to do in life - be a movie actor," he said. "Since I was a kid. My first essay at Harvard I wrote: 'For as long as I've been alive I've wanted to be an actor.'"

    Don't feel bad Matt, not everyone can grow a great mustache. Give it a couple years it will look great. Besides you look much better w/o one, whereas many of us have to grow one to cover the ugly.

    Yup, it's not becoming but you're still you.

    Matt Damon is one of those guys who's attractive, more because of who he is, rather than what he looks like. I see better looking guys everyday, but most of them are NOT actors. His only "remarkable" feature physically, are his blue eyes. Every thing else is run-of-the-mill. I like Matt Damon as a person, and an actor, but I don't think anybody will ever accuse him of being the best looking guy around LOL. If so, they're probably joking.

    He looks 10 years older. I know he's hot but I just don't think that the mustache and Matt Damon are not ready for eacheather just yet. His face looks cleaner and brighter without it. Either way he's still looks good.
