Hi-Diddly-Ho, Matt Damon

Matt's currently filming The Informant in Decatur, Illinois, and by all accounts is charming the PANTS off of everybody there, what with being super nice and approachable and polite and yes, dreamy. Dreamy dreamy dreams.

He's playing real-life whistle-blower Mark Whitacre, who became an FBI informant during the Archer Daniels Midland price-fixing scandal or something or other that I know nothing about but look! He hugs people and poses for pictures and even the local newspaper has basically turned into Matt Damon Watch 2008, aka WELOVEYOUMATTOMGHETOUCHEDMYHANDWOOOO!

(Please, like my own head would not just plum fall off my own shoulders if I ever met Matt Damon in person. He is my MOST FAVORITE.)

All photos from the Herald & Review. They have a slew more, plus tons of eyewitness accounts to Matt's bonafide nice-guy realness. In a world of Crazy Cruises and Batshit Britneys, I think we need more Dreamy Damons like we need more cowbell.
