Hi-Diddly-Ho, Matt Damon

Much like Brad Pitt and his 80s hair, Matt Damon proves that he can fully rock the Ned Flanders look and still be awfully damn dreamy.

Matt's currently filming The Informant in Decatur, Illinois, and by all accounts is charming the PANTS off of everybody there, what with being super nice and approachable and polite and yes, dreamy. Dreamy dreamy dreams.

He's playing real-life whistle-blower Mark Whitacre, who became an FBI informant during the Archer Daniels Midland price-fixing scandal or something or other that I know nothing about but look! He hugs people and poses for pictures and even the local newspaper has basically turned into Matt Damon Watch 2008, aka WELOVEYOUMATTOMGHETOUCHEDMYHANDWOOOO!

(Please, like my own head would not just plum fall off my own shoulders if I ever met Matt Damon in person. He is my MOST FAVORITE.)

All photos from the Herald & Review. They have a slew more, plus tons of eyewitness accounts to Matt's bonafide nice-guy realness. In a world of Crazy Cruises and Batshit Britneys, I think we need more Dreamy Damons like we need more cowbell.

OMG - You are too friggin funny!

I'm glad I'm not all alone with still thinking that Matt Damon is the hottest guy around. If he were filming in my town, I would most likely turn nearly stalkerish, even if an actual sighting would probably actually make me swoon. Even with those glasses and that 'stashe.

No and no. He has pushed past my personal attraction line. Maybe because he now looks like a dad of a kid I used to babysit. Awkward car ride homes thinking "why do you have that mustache?"

[Jessie]

Man, that smile of his slays me every time. So gorgeous!

Way too much hotness for being so geeked up. I can hardly handle it. And he's a nice guy, too? His wife is the luckiest.

I like Matt Damon. I DO.

But in that get-up he looks like....Ned Flanders.

Hi-diddly-o, neighbor!

And HOLY CRAP, how did I not realize that was your A) headline and B) Main POINT?

I'm blaming the kids. And the dog, that didn't want to sleep last night. And whomever else I CAN.

I do not get the Matt Damon thing, never have. I think he has beady, shiftly little eyes. He looks super creepy like that.

[Liana]

I think he looks ADORABLE. Not that he should stay that way after the filming is done (no, please!), but I confess I do like facial hair on some guys and I think he pulls it off okay!
And, to quote Amalah's rockin' vocabulary, I think he's "dreamy. Dreamy dreamy dreams." with and without the mustachioed, sweet, nerdy look. :)
