Real or Fake: The Matt Damon 'Entourage' Freak Out
Filed under: Fandom, Trailers and Clips
First there was David O. Russell's much-publicized on-set freak out, and then it was Christian Bale all but tearing a cinematographer in half. Now a video has surfaced featuring Matt Damon directing Adrian Grenier in what looks to be a PSA for a site called One by One, which does exist and (thanks to commenter Corey for pointing this out) is apparently an organization that helps children in poverty from around the world. Matt Damon is the company's spokesperson.
So Grenier has, like, five lines to deliver, but he keeps stumbling over his words and pissing Damon off. Meanwhile, Jeremy Piven (who looks like he's either in his full-on Ari Gold character or just stepped off the set of Entourage) is frantically pacing behind Damon as he continually corrects and eventually goes off on Grenier. Piven doesn't say a word, so it's tough to say, yes, he is in character as Ari Gold -- though he does look to be acting as if he were Grenier's agent. That being said, Damon refers to Grenier by his real name and not Vince (though at one point Grenier asks if he should talk as Vince), so who knows what the hell is going on here.
I personally think they're filming something for an upcoming Entourage episode and decided to have a little fun at the same time by throwing together this little viral video. Either way it's pretty hilarious, and I wish it went on a drop longer so we could really watch cameo king Matt Damon freak out hardcore.
Watch the NSFW, foul-mouthed video after the jump, and you decide: is it real or is it fake?

Fake, but the purpose in my book hit target to get people to go to the site and get publicity for their cause. Nice job Matt, you still owe me a pack of Marb Lights.

Fake. Why else would there be a camera on MD? Plus, Damon's shown he's pretty happy to poke fun at his celebrity and this fits right into that.

It's fake... If you pause it at the end when he tells people to take lunch you can see people almost in laughter walking behind him... very clearly ad-libbed

OF COURSE IT IS FAKE
GO TO one by one's website the Whole scene is there under ENTOURAGE SUPPORTS THE CAUSE
the Skit was done to further push curiosity about the charity, if there really was an issue Matt would not post the full extended version of the meltdown on his own charities site with all the bad language ALSO the full version has Piven talking about saving lil starving pygmies

The red flag is people doing things they don't normally do, like Matt Damon directing, or that one Superbad viral where Edgar Wright interviews Michael Cera and Jonah Hill.

I'm really getting sick of seeing these stupid things done over and over. I think, in this case their mocking more O Russell than Bale but no one gets that because Bales over exposed out burst was more recent and his name is more known the world over. Its tired, stupid, unoriginal and obviously fake. But I guess that's Hollywood for you. Their answer to everything lately is "lets beat a dead horse for all its worth and keep putting out its 2nd rate crape, cause we can't come up with anything original." Sad and so f**king played out.

hey, you seem to know whats going on and i have no idea. would you mind going over again what the hell this is all about. i get it that i guess they are doing this to be funny making fun of christian Bale? Bale flipped out on what and when and why is my question? shows you how dumb i am, i thought it was true and damon needed his ass kicked. and im a fan.

Kevin Connolly (E on Entourage) & Doug Ellin (creator/writer) are both in the background & Matt Damon shot a cameo this season so it's definitely fake. Love it though!

Well for anyone who thought this might be real, it was used last night as a TV Spot to promote the Season Finale of Entourage. So yes, fake...
