THE One Show viewers wasted no time in questioning whether Hollywood star, Matt Damon, was alright after he seemed a little worse for wear on the show.
On the BBC One programme yesterday, co-hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas were conducting an interview to promote new film, Air.
The film stars actors and friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck who were guests on the show remotely, live via video link.
While introducing the A-listers, Alex, 46, thanked them both for appearing live in LA so early in the morning. The One Show airs at 7pm in the UK, which is midnight Pacific Coast Time.

Alex asked: “He was kind of in charge, what sort of boss was he?” Matt replied lightheartedly: “It’s the first time you’re aware of, he’s been directing me since we were in high school.”

Matt said “He’s directing all the time! But actually, we’ve been doing theatre together since 1986.
“Very old! And writing screenplays together over the years so creative problem-solving is baked into our friendship.”
Jermaine wanted to know more about their bond and whether Ben was critical of Matt’s acting while they were still in school.
Matt replied: “Oh yeah, oh he had notes, he always had notes.” While Ben backed it up saying their friendship has a foundation of honest criticism.
