VIDEO: Matt Damon: Sarah Palin Is a "Really Scary Thing"
Wednesday September 10, 2008


Actor Matt Damon is not a fan of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

"I think there's a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that's a really scary thing," he told the Associated Press (Watch above).

Damon suggested the odds are John McCain won't survive his first term.

"It's like a really bad Disney movie," he said. "The hockey mom, you know, 'Oh, I'm just a hockey mom'... and she's facing down [Russian] President Putin... It's totally absurd... It's a really terrifying possibility."

Damon also believes she was chosen for "political purposes."

Last month, the actor told Conde Nast Traveler that fame has made him want to do good.

"You start to feel a level of responsibility to direct attention to things that actually matter more than to silly things like who you're dating," he explained.

"For a lot of actors, our biggest fear is that we're going to start talking about things we don't fully understand and sound like idiots," he said. "In the long run, I'll do much more good if, when I open my mouth, I have something worth saying."
