To get into the quest for a healthy lifestyle at 53, Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon works out like no other! He spilled the beans on why he had triceps like a hard rock recently on the Late Late Show and the one who pushed him to do so. This is not just a typical run-of-the-mill story of fitness with exhausting workouts.
The Jason Borne star who was also in Oppenheimer talked about his family/friend John Krasinski, who is surprisingly his apartment neighbor and is the main reason for his fit exterior! The Late Late Show host Stephen Colbert asked the Goodwill Hunting actor about the whole ordeal.

During the appearance, Colbert, who has arm-wrestled John before, could not help but ask Damon about his rock-hard muscles and the reasons behind it. He asked, “I am not gonna arm wrestle you because I just touched your triceps on the way out here and it’s like a brick wall are you getting ready for like a role or something or do you just like to stay fit?”
To this, Damon candidly said, “I am trying to keep up with John (Krasinski)n is the truth because John was getting really good shape for this role that he’s gone off to do.” Both the friends and neighbors are top-notch actors who have had to get ripped for several roles.

Krasinski got ripped for his role in Fountain of Youth, and Damon was also getting ripped for Jason Borne before. So, the Martian actor decided to train with his friend every morning because, apparently at present, he had “nothing else to do.”
Matt Damon’s friend John truly does not mess with fitness. Krasinski once revealed how he went to The Rock’s private gym and almost got injured because of his love for fitness!

During an appearance on the Ellen Show, the Quiet Place actor talked about visiting Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s gym. The actor was candid when he gushed about the place and said, “And I said, yeah. I mean, how bad? I walked in, and it was like an alien spaceship had landed. He has, like, 40 pieces of equipment that I’ve never seen in my life. So, this is one of the alien pieces of equipment. It’s called a Pit Shark.”
Of course, the Office actor wanted to try the alien equipment known as the Pit Shark. It was not a good idea at all because, as soon as he took hold of the gym equipment and tried to work out, he hurt his neck. However, it was not severe, and The Rock did not have to get a piece of mind from Krasinski’s wife and his co-star, Emily Blunt.
