Why Is Matt Damon Shilling for Crypto?
- donsupreme 5y agoDare I say ... money?
- quantified 5y agoFiat currency too, I’d wager. Why is Jamie Foxx shilling for a betting app?
- iab 5y agoHe didn’t get millennials to watch “The Last Duel”, so he’s trying another tack

The article doesn't attempt to answer any of that, it has zero insight and I'm not sure anything was researched other than which movies he was part of in the past. Why does headline say 'shilling'? It's an ad. I don't call any youtubers who advertise a VPN or Skillshare a shill for the company, it's clear that money was exchanged.
