Warning to 26 year-old Matt Damon during the 1996 filming of Good Will Hunting: This is going to sound weird, I realize, but the Zoomer generation that your forthcoming daughters will belong to…roughly 20 years hence and certainly within 25 you’re going to be a target, man…Zoomers and Millenials both…they’re going to come for you and club your reputation bloody, and short of getting a personality transplant there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it.
Enjoy your golden-era, do-no-wrong coolness phase (mid ’90s to 2007’s Bourne Ultimatum) while you can. You’ll be fine as the years progress (occasional hits will happen) and you accumulate the bulk of middle age — you’re a first-rate actor and a smart guy as well as a decent human being — but there’s nothing like living a charmed life with the Gods smiling at every single thing you do, including your unintended farts.
