NY Post: Prince Harry 'not yet viewed as a statesman' or a celebrity philanthropist

NY Post: Prince Harry 'not yet viewed as a statesman' or a celebrity philanthropist
Last week, Vanity Fair did a lovely wrap-up piece about Prince Harry?s NYC trip: ?Prince Harry?s Transition From Working Royal to Global Advocate Is Now Complete.? I agree while Harry?s meetings and appearances weren?t huge stories, his trip showed that he?s booked and busy and he has a lot on his plate. VF had details about the meetings and events associated with Sentebale, African Parks, The HALo Trust, Travalyst, The Diana Award and more. VF also editorialized a bit which I enjoyed:

Harry?s CGI speech: When Harry took the stage at the Clinton Global Initiative on Tuesday morning, it was clear just how far he had come as a speaker and a public figure. He paced the stage, TED Talk?style, and used his personal cell phone as a visual aid. He began by discussing the Space Race, using it as an extended metaphor for the unforeseen effects that technology can have on our politics. Compared to the uplifting yet somewhat hesitant speeches he used to give five years ago, the prince was brimming with purpose when talking about Big Tech.

All business: In under 72 hours, he packed in at least seven events with a handful of his charities, some of which have counted him as a patron for more than a decade. He gave prepared remarks at most of the events, which meant he was switching gears from subjects ranging from youth empowerment to minefields and conflict to the climate impacts of travel to the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in Southern Africa at the drop of the hat.

Harry?s role is different: Where William and Charles have walked the line of representing British government interests while establishing themselves as global leaders in fighting climate change, Harry?s role outside of the palace means he?s coming as a representative of himself?and his ideas. His comments this week reveal a direct point of view now, formed both by his years in the royal family, the research he?s done, and the experiences he?s had outside of it.

Project-driven: Harry and Meghan have always been more project-driven than his Windsor family relatives, a quality which was previously met with skepticism and some disdain from the palace staff. ?You can say what you want about Meghan, but she works incredibly hard,? an insider told Vanity Fair?s Katie Nicholl in 2020, months after their royal exit. ?The problem is she and Harry have a tendency to hatch big projects over dinner and expect them to be actioned within days.? It?s now been four years since they started their Archewell Foundation, and in his whirlwind trip, Harry?s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace.

[From Vanity Fair]

That last part ?Harry?s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace? is exactly why there was so much energy towards ?Meghan is a bully? last week. The aim was distraction, the aim was to minimize Harry?s work. Speaking of, the NY Post ran this: ?Prince Harry debuted his reinvention in NYC, but it was ?hijacked? by ?Duchess Difficult? Meghan.? To hear the Post tell it, you?d think that United Nations diplomats are simply glued to Us Weekly for breaking royal news. This piece also told me that Harry?s brother is incandescent with jealousy over Harry?s busy trip.

The Post claims Meghan hijacked Harry?s newscycle: We were with the renegade royal as he toured the Big Apple; talking about his hopes for the future and making fun of his troubled past. He also revealed how important it is for him to follow in his mother, Princess Diana?s footsteps, which always pulls at the heartstrings. All in all, he proved yet again that he can be immensely likable and charming, when he wants to be. But even though she was back at the couple?s California mansion, Harry?s wife made her presence known. The Sussex camp enrolled a cast list of staffers past and present to hit back after claims were again made that Megan, the Duchess of Sussex is, in fact, ?Duchess Difficult?. One political insider in NY for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) told us, ?This totally hijacked any coverage Harry got?it was quite an own goal.?

Harry the wannabe statesman? Sources told Page Six that, despite everything, this is the direction Harry wants to take; he wants to be seen as a statesman and philanthropist. However, the political insider told Page Six he has some way to go before he can claim the kind of impact made by Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon and Jennifer Garner, with her kids charity ?Once Upon a Farm?. Sophia Bush also spoke at the Clinton event. She?s a well known humanitarian and launched her charity, ?Pencils of Promise?, a 2008-founded nonprofit that has built more than 550 schools, largely in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos. The insider said, ?Harry has got a long way to go to be remotely on the same level as Matt Damon. He?s not yet viewed as a statesman ? or as a celebrity who has really made a huge philanthropic impact. He?s not like Jennifer Garner [or] Sophia Bush ? those are real social impact activists.?

Stay out of the tabloids, Harry! ?You?ll have to watch this space to see how far Harry can go,? said another political source who has worked with President Barack Obama, ?If he can get his personal issues out of the tabloids, he might well achieve some big things.?

[From Page Six]

I?m sorry, but why is ?He?s not like Jennifer Garner [or] Sophia Bush ? those are real social impact activists? so funny to me? I mean zero disrespect to Sophia or J-Garn, they?re doing their own work and it?s all completely admirable. But to use their names to disparage Harry, the founder of the Invictus Games? You?re telling me Sophia Bush is a more globally recognized activist and advocate than Prince Harry? The sources/insiders claiming this are not serious people. Anyway, in case you missed it, the people who have spent years smearing Meghan and now really mad that she?s fought back at long last.

Matt Damon & Luciana brought their four daughters to 'The Instigators' premiere
Matt Damon has a new movie, out on AppleTV this month. The Instigators stars Damon, Casey Affleck, Jack Harlow (!!), Ving Rhames, Hong Chau, Alfred Molina and more. I?m including the trailer below it reminds me a bit of The Town, which was (arguably) Ben Affleck?s best directorial effort. It?s like ?what if The Town was funny and the thieves had a therapist??

Last night was the big premiere, and Matt brought his whole family out. His mom was there, his wife Luciana was there, and he posed with their four daughters. Matt Damon has been a girl-dad this whole time and I was like ?wait, his daughters are that old already??? From People, their daughters and their ages: Isabella, 18, Gia, 15, and Stella, 13, plus 24-year-old Alexia, who is Luciana?s daughter from a previous relationship (Matt raised Alexia and considers her one of his four kids). The girls are beautiful and they?re all sort of spectacular blends of Matt and Luciana? They got Matt?s cheekbones but with Luciana?s coloring and hair.

Also: Luciana apparently produced The Instigators and she ?convinced? Matt to step into the role. I?m trying not to remember all of the dumb sh-t Matt has said over the years, and I just hope this promotional tour goes well and he doesn?t remind everyone of all of his gaffes.

Matt Damon had a crazy dream after his dad died: 'all I knew was that he was there'

Matt Damon had a crazy dream after his dad died: 'all I knew was that he was there'
Get in bitches, we?re doing another paranormal story! As you may remember, I love all of that kind of stuff: ghosts, premonitions, spirits, intuition, aliens, synchronicities, etc. It?s been a hot minute since we?ve talked about this particular topic, but today?s edition of Rosie?s Paranormal Posts involves dreams! More specifically, we have Matt Damon?s dream from the afterlife. Matt?s father, Kent, died a little over five years ago, in December 2017. Earlier this week, Matt was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and shared a story about a ?crazy dream? he had after his dad passed away. The dream was so powerful that it helped him connect with one of the ?very first things? he felt when he entered this world.

After my father passed away in 2017, within that year, I had this crazy dream, said Damon after being asked about his earliest memory. He came to me in a dream, and he embraced me. And the feeling that I got was the feeling that I had ? which I think is like my first memory ? which was the feeling of what it felt like to be held by him.

Damon said the feeling gave him a sense of overwhelming protection and love.

All I knew was that he was there and that I was feeling that embrace, continued Matt. And it reminded me that I must have felt that as one of the very first things that I was aware of as my consciousness came online.

On the first anniversary of his fathers death, Damon hosted Saturday Night Live and opened up about how it was a special show for him and Kent.

Week after week, I tried to stay up, and it wasn?t until I was 8 years old that I made it all the way to the end,? recalled Damon. ?I probably didn?t get all the jokes, but I laughed at everything that my dad laughed at. And although it was way past our bedtime, my dad knew there was nothing more important in the world than to laugh with the people that you love.?

[From People]

Wow, that?s a pretty powerful experience. It?s so hard after a loved one dies, so to have a dream like that, whether it was really from his father or not, must have been a tremendous comfort. I also have a personal story about a dream from the afterlife. Actually, this story happened to my mom and grandma. About a year or so after my grandfather died, my mom had a dream that he was back at my grandparents? house, walking around and talking to her. She knew while dreaming that hed passed away IRL, so she asked him what he was doing there. He replied, ?I?m just here for a visit to check on things.? When my mom spoke to my grandma the next day, the very first thing Grandma said to her was, ?Your father was here ?for a visit? last night. I heard him walking around. He kept me awake.? She said this before my mom even had a chance to tell her about the dream. So yeah, I believe that Matt?s experience was real. It?s nice that he got to have that bit of comfort and closure.

Matt Damon: 'To be as clear as I can be, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community'

Matt Damon: 'To be as clear as I can be, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community'
Honestly, Matt Damon is such a dumbass. We need to get out of this headspace where we?re like ?oh, Matt is different, he went to Harvard, his mom is an educator, he can?t be this dumb.? No, he is. He is very dumb. Matt is currently promoting Stillwater (The Tears of an Overseas MAGA) and over the weekend, the Times published an exclusive interview with him. In the interview, he was trying to explain how our standards change over time and how the f-word, the homophobic slur, was ?commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application,? and that he ?made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter. She left the table. I said, ?Come on, that?s a joke! I say it in the movie Stuck on You!? She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous. I said, ?I retire the f-slur!? I understood.? Now Matt Damon is saying that Matt Damon cannot be trusted to tell a story about how he used a homophobic slur. He made a statement (not an apology) to THR:

?During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made ? though by no means completed ? since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word ?f*g? used on the street before I knew what it even referred to. I explained that that word was used constantly and casually and was even a line of dialogue in a movie of mine as recently as 2003; she in turn expressed incredulity that there could ever have been a time where that word was used unthinkingly. To my admiration and pride, she was extremely articulate about the extent to which that word would have been painful to someone in the LGBTQ+ community regardless of how culturally normalized it was. I not only agreed with her but thrilled at her passion, values and desire for social justice,? Damon said in a statement provided to THR.

He added, ?I have never called anyone ?f****t? in my personal life and this conversation with my daughter was not a personal awakening. I do not use slurs of any kind. I have learned that eradicating prejudice requires active movement toward justice rather than finding passive comfort in imagining myself ?one of the good guys.? And given that open hostility against the LGBTQ+ community is still not uncommon, I understand why my statement led many to assume the worst. To be as clear as I can be, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community.?

[From THR]

I want to know which of Matt Damon?s gay friends and managers/publicists/agents immediately called him and yelled at him. I want to know their names!! Because they deserve a drink and a nap. I can?t even imagine how many people called him and yelled at his dumb ass. And notice how everything about the story has changed too Matt told the Times that he said the word in a ?joke? and that his daughter was appalled that he said it so casually. The new version is that Matt was speaking to his daughters about the history of homophobia. And now he claims that he?s never used the word in his personal life! Because we know he?s used it in his professional life (and his personal life).

Matt Damon's teenage daughter often tells him that his movies suck
Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso have three daughters: Isabella, 15, Gia, 12 and Stella, 10. If you know anything about kids aged 10-18, their main purpose in life is to knock their parents down a peg whenever they have a chance. When their father is a world-famous actor with an Academy Award for screenwriting, the best way to do that is to hit him in the scripts. While promoting his latest award hopeful, Stillwater, Matt told CBS Sunday Morning that Isabella won?t watch any of his well-done films. She prefers to only to see the crap so she can remind him how much they sucked. Yahoo has more about his interview:

Matt Damon may be one of the most famous actors in the world, but the Oscar winners four daughters seem to be in charge at home.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning to promote his new film Stillwater, Damon, 50, explained that his kids show no mercy when ranking on dear old dad. In fact, his 15-year-old daughter, Isabella, refuses to see her dads beloved film, Good Will Hunting.

She doesnt want to see any movies that Im in that might be good. She just likes to give me shit, said Damon, laughing. My daughter said, Hey remember that movie you did, The Wall? I said, it was called The Great Wall. She goes, Dad, there was nothing great about that movie. She keeps my feet firmly on the ground.

[From Yahoo!]

How many points can I award Isabella for that set-up and delivery on her Great Wall jab? Whatever the number, she gets all of them. If I had to guess, I?ll bet his girls have watched all Matt?s good films without his knowledge, but they?ll never tell. They probably brag to their friends when he?s out of earshot. I mean, are you telling me they?ve never seen Thor: Ragnark? Actually, I love Matt as an actor. I loved Good Will Hunting but I went to IMDb to remind myself of his other stuff and wow, there are so many of his films I recommend. Even in some of his crap films, he still did a good job. I?m sure Isabella is more versed in his career than she?s letting on. Good for her. Somebody needs to keep him humble.

I don?t know about Stillwater. I know it?s Hollywood?s take on the Amanda Knox case, but it looks like such a bummer. (I get that?s the point.) Plus, Matt?s truck driver cosplay is throwing me. I?m sure it will be all over the awards season, but I think I?ll sit this one out. Maybe Isabella and I can go see Thor: Love and Thunder instead.

Heres the Stillwater trailer, you can decide for yourself:

Matt Damon: you?re not supposed to pee on jellyfish stings, take a bath
Matt Damon appeared on Ellen DeGeneres? talk show last week to promote Ford vs. Ferrari, which I hope to see this weekend. He mentioned that he was jet-lagged, having just finished filming in France. He is loopy and it?s kind of funny. Due to his rambling during the interview, he and Ellen cover a variety of tidbits to various degrees of success. Like, when Matt talked about his DNA results, Ellen deemed his story boring, so she cut him off, which made me laugh. She quickly moved on to Matt?s buddy Chris Hemsworth, which always makes me happy. When Chris appeared on Ellen last year, he talked about some of the harrowing adventures Matt?s had in Australia, like stepping on a giant snake. He also talked briefly about Matt?s daughter, Stella, being stung by a jellyfish, which, according to Chris, was one of the worst he?s ever seen. So Ellen asked Matt about it, including if anyone peed on poor Stella to take the Sting away. Dr. Matt said no, no one did, because that myth is a load of bunk.

The interview is queued up to Matt?s Australia stories, starting with the snake story. The transcription is just the jellyfish part:

My daughter Stella [9]. Got stung by a jellyfish.

Did someone have to pee on her?

I?d been stung by a jellyfish, once in Hawaii, like we were fishing for the day with some friends of mine who were all, ?I?ll pee on ya?.? But it turns out, that?s just something that someone made up because they thought it was funny. What you?re supposed to do is put somebody in a really hot bath and get a sponge and gently remove the tiny little needles that are in you when one stings you so you brush them out.

[To the audience] Okay, so nobody has to pee on anybody

Or just stay in America

The fact is ? Matt is 100% correct. There is no basis for the ?pee on it? recommendation. The idea was that urine would neutralize the pain. It does not and can make it worse. Instead, douse the area with vinegar to deactivate the stinging cells. And, as Matt said, pluck out all the tentacles. Heat will help alleviate the pain, thus the hot bath. And don?t pee on a stingray wound either same deal, it doesn?t work. Ugh, I?m just cringing at the thought. I?m so scared of jellyfish/stingray stings. My poor brother got stung by a stingray when we were at my folks. His daughters and I were teasing him about getting someone to pee on him as he soaked his foot at the lifeguard station with a bunch of other victims (none of us paid attention to the signs). Needless to say, he did not find it amusing as he endured the pain (and a week later Steve Irwin died from his stingray attack). So for the love of gawd dont get medical advice from Friends.

In the second half of the interview, Matt talked about being driven 200 MPH by 80-year old Mario Andretti at the Indy 500. How bizarre am I that the thought of a jellyfish Sting terrifies me, but I would give my eye teeth to get in a race car with octogenarian Mario Andretti?

Matt Damon is afraid of heights and doesn't understand how Tom Cruise does it
Kaiser linked this story yesterday, but things are slow so let?s spend a little more time with it. Mainly because, as Kaiser said, Matt Damon still tells a good story and I am very excited to see Ford v. Ferrari. As most know, Damon reinvented himself as an action hero a few decades into his career, notably taking on the Bourne series. What was notable about that is that at the time, nobody thought Damon could pull off the Jason Bourne character. He did, though, and very successfully. But could he do it now? Probably not. The reason, however, has nothing to with age Damon has developed a fear of heights, something that came upon him in 2004. So, since he can?t bring himself to jump off a bridge anymore, Damon wanted to know how fellow later-in-life action star Tom Cruise does it and the answer was priceless.

Watch the clip if you can, it?s well worth your time. What Damon said about his discussion with Cruise was:

I had dinner with Tom Cruise, years ag0 after he did that thing out of the building in Mission Impossible. I kind of cornered him, and I said, ?I?m afraid of heights, how do you do this thing?? You?ve met Tom. You?re the only thing in the world. It?s not even that everything else disappears for him, everything else disappears for you. Everything else went away. But he just laser-locked and he said, ?I?ve been dreaming of this shot for 15 years, this sequence, and finally, I had a chance to do it.? And I go, ?So how did it finally come to pass?? And he goes, ?So I go to the safety guy and tell him this is what I?m going to do, I explain the whole gag to him. And the safety guy says, ?You can?t do that. That?s too dangerous. So I get another safety guy.?

And you know Cruise?s story is 100%. I?m sure many people will be upset at Cruise?s recklessness and there?s an argument there, but we want good stories from these celebrities on chat shows. I especially love celebrities sharing interesting stories about other celebrities, so I was thoroughly entertained.

My mom said that she was never afraid of heights until we were walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and I, as a very young child, stuck my head through the railing. She can barely look out windows above the fourth floor of a building now. I, too, all of a sudden developed a dramatic fear of heights as I got older. It began in my 30s but became crippling after I had my kids. I can make myself physically ill just imagining certain height situations. Even when Damon was describing when he discovered he was scared of heights in Dubai on the helipad my heart went in my throat. It?s bizarre to have it sneak up on you like that. CB is set to jump out of a plane in the spring. I wanted to do that my whole life, but I?ve come to terms that I do not think it will ever be possible for me. So, I guess Damon and I will have to stay on the ground and commit to living vicariously through CB and Cruise. At least we?ll get some good stories out of it. Of course, that?s only if we can bear to watch.

Matt Damon: 'I really wish I?d listened a lot more before I weighed in' on #MeToo
In December, Matt Damon saw that a bunch of women were trying to talk about sexual harassment and abuse and he thought ?how silly, I need to go over there and talk over them so I can explain what?s really happening!? Which is how December became the month of Matt Damon Is Over. He gave several interviews where he was offensively tone-deaf and actively obtuse about the #MeToo conversations and the outing of serial predators like Louis CK, Harvey Weinstein and more. Matt cast himself as one of the few people who truly had the depth, intelligence and mental fortitude to single-handedly adjudicate sexual harassment and abuse situations and determine which abusers would be ?allowed? back into the Hollywood fold. It wasn?t like his comments had to be coaxed out of him either, and they weren?t some dirty little secret – he repeatedly went on the record. He went running into this conversation with the kind of audacious entitlement that comes standard issue whenever you?re born with a white penis.

After those terrible interviews, Matt?s dad passed away after a long illness. I took a break from covering Damon for a few weeks – even though I was sure Matt still deserved to be publicly bashed for his comments, I also thought he deserved to spend some quiet time with his family. Well, Matt is back. He did a Today Show interview on Tuesday and he was asked about all of those comments last month. Guess what? He actually apologized. I guess he finally returned those phone calls from the studio publicist. He told Today:

“I really wish I’d listened a lot more before I weighed in on this? I don’t want to further anybody’s pain with anything that I do or say. So for that I am really sorry. You know, Time?s Up, a lot of those women are my dear friends and I love them and respect them and support what they’re doing and want to be a part of that change and want to go along for the ride, but I should get in the back seat and close my mouth for a while.”

Matt Damon: forgiven? I haven?t forgiven him, mostly because those interviews crystallized something about him which had been in the air for several years: Matt Damon isn?t a good guy. He?s not a bad guy, really, but the compounded errors, the tone deaf instincts on race, harassment, women?s rights and more – he?s just not the same boyishly handsome Mr. All-American dude that everybody thought he was. He?s just another entitled douche.

Here?s the interview. You know who offended me here? Kathy Lee Gifford. Skip ahead to the 4:20 mark to see Matt?s apology.

Matt Damon sounds like he wants to be replaced as Jason Bourne
Matt Damon, 45, has said for years that he’s getting too old to play Bourne. He said that around the time the third movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, came out in 2007. It sounded like he was over playing the character back then. Damon said that he “definitely felt my age” during the fight scenes and at that point he practically ruled out playing Bourne again. “We?ve ridden that horse as far as we can. The character lives on in the books and if someone else wanted to play it, I guess they could.” There was news that Damon was working on the fourth Bourne movie back in 2009, but then director Paul Greengrass pulled out and so did Damon. The result was The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner playing another agent, which came out in 2012. Eventually Greengrass signed on again, Damon as you know agreed to come back and we have Jason Bourne, which is out in two weeks yay! Only it sounds like Damon is not jazzed at the thought of making even more Bourne movies. He brought it up in an interview with Australian TV recently, joking that Angelina Jolie was younger than him but was replaced as Tomb Raider by Alicia Vikander (his new costar), and he mentioned it again in an interview with The Hollywood reporter, saying that it would be fine if he was replaced.

Matt Damon says he’s “totally fine” with a younger actor taking over the role of Jason Bourne after he’s done with the action franchise.

Speaking on a promotional tour in Seoul, South Korea, Damon, who returns for the fifth installment titled Jason Bourne that’s released this summer, said he was “definitely going to be replaced some day by some new young Jason Bourne. That happens to everybody and they reboot these things, and that’s totally fine.”

Damon added: “The only control I can exercise is over the ones that I?m part of. I’m the curator of them as long as I’m involved and that’s why I battled so hard to make sure that we got the same creative people [including director Paul Greengrass] to get involved in this one.”

Fourteen years since the first film in the franchise, Damon said he was “very excited” to be playing Bourne again, a character that “had a huge impact on my life and career.”

He said, however, it wasn’t easy to keep up with action sequences at his age. “It’s difficult when you’re 45 compared to when you’re 29, but you still have to run as fast as you can. That part was a challenge but to get to revisit the people was wonderful. But I said, let’s smell the roses as we say and appreciate that we get to be here together and make sure we have fun [especially because it was so tense on the set for the other films].”

Given how often Damon has talked about this, I doubt he’s up for another sequel after this one. I also doubt this is some sort of negotiation tactic. He’s grateful to the Bourne franchise for helping his career so tremendously but he no longer wants to play this character. He’s also got to know on some level that if he wanted to continue as Bourne he could do it up until his late 50s/early 60s. This isn’t like Angelina Jolie being “too old” to play Tomb Raider at 41, the rules are different for men. As Kaiser brought up, Bruce Willis was 58 when the last Die Hard movie came out in 2013. Liam Neeson has been doing Taken sequels into his early 60s. Matt Damon is Jason Bourne, but sounds like he wants to pass that torch soon.
