LOL: Watch Matt Damon Crash Chris Hemsworth’s ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Interview
Matt Damonhas stayed far from the comic book movie genre, but he had his first brush with superheroics after he crashed an interview with the God of Thunder himself.Chris Hemsworthwas promoting the upcomingThor: RagnarokonJimmy Kimmel Live,and naturally, Damon had to hop in on an interview with his favorite talk show host. Or rather, his favorite talk show host who keeps him trapped in a green room backstage. It’s another great moment for the books in the ongoing “feud” between Kimmel and Damon.
Hemsworth was dishing on the close relationships he formed with fellow AvengerMark Ruffaloand directorTaika Waititiover the course of filmingThor: Ragnarokto Jimmy Kimmel, even bringing the pair of them along for the interview. As we cut to a Ruffalo and fashion icon Waititi (wearing the purple suit of mydreams) backstage, a famous face keeps trying to sneak into the shot. Yes, that’s a slightly crazed Matt Damon insisting that he’s “on the show.”
Matt Damon Crashes Chris Hemsworth Interview
The bit continues for another minute, with Damon attempting to join Ruffalo and Waititi as Kimmel interviews them, but the camera keeps panning away. “It’s the Mighty Thor, not the Mighty Boor!” Kimmel yells at Damon.
After Kimmel cuts back to him and Hemsworth, all goes smoothly for a bit until Damon “hacks” into the background screen. “I’ve been here for a really long time Jimmy,” Damon says. “Decades. I’ve learned a lot of stuff.”
It’s part of a long-running bit between Kimmel and Damon, which started after Kimmel constantly ended his shows apologizing for not having enough time to interview Matt Damon. It escalated from there, tohysterical song dissesin which Damon enlistedbest bud Ben Affleck, tostar-studded sketches. However, this whole bit could very well be a reference to a certain gag inThor: Ragnarok.

This gatecrash lends credence to rumors that Damon has a cameo inThor: Ragnarok.It has been reportedthat he plays an Asgardian actor playing Loki in a re-enactment of the events of the firstThor. With this fun bit — and the revelation that Hemsworth and Damon go on vacations together — this rumor could be totally plausible. Plus, it would continue Damon’s streak of makingunexpected space-age cameos.
