2024 Oscars Recap: Naked Surprises, Wardrobe Malfunctions & & More Must-See Moments!
Jimmy Kimmel‘s traditional Matt Damon burn got a little additional aid from the goodest kid.
Messi, the charming 7-year-old border collie from the Oscar- winning film Anatomy of Fall, participated on host Jimmy’s continuous fight with the star at the 2024 Oscars March 10.
At the very end of the broadcast, after Jimmy had actually stated all the thank yous and wanted everybody a great night, the cam briefly cut to Messi peeing on Matt’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before escaping.
While Jimmy and Matt’s fight is now the things of legend, it initially started innocently enough as a joke when the late night host would “bump” the Oscar winner at the end of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, closing his program with, “Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time.”
“We had a bad show…The guests were bad, and I was feeling pretty bad about myself at the end of the program,” Jimmy described to NPR in 2013 about the joke’s origin. “And I decided to say, for the amusement of one of our producers who was standing next to me…’I want to apologize to Matt Damon. We ran out of time.’ And he got a kick out of it, the producer, so I just started doing it every night to amuse him.”
