Matt Damon joins the legions of celebrities whining about problems that you wish you could have.

For instance no one else in this world would be able to whine about getting Brad Pitt’s soggy leftovers, and get away with it.

The actor, best known for movies that don’t suck a rusty bolt/ having the good manners to know how to act, gave an interview with The Sunday Times. To be clear, no, we have not yet graduated from our beloved comics to fancy-people newspapers. Though, on occasion, we do need to crack open a page or two. Just to see what all the fuss is about.

Matt Damon: I Get Brad Pitt's Rejected Roles

Matt seems to think his whole career has been about picking up other’s leftovers. “You could accuse me of piggybacking on other people’s brilliance more than anything,” he explained.

The whole thing reads as though the seconds we’re talking about are day-old pizza, rather than steak.

Damon says most of his success comes from piggybacking off actors like Brad who are always offered roles before he is. “I think the roles go to Brad first. Which is fine,” he told the Sunday Times. “Ask anybody on the street which actors starred in the Ocean’s movies, and they’ll tell you it was George and Brad. I’m ‘support’ in Ocean’s . As I was in Saving Private Ryan — Tom Hanks carried that movie.

Yeah, it's from 3 years ago.. a year after Matt Damon started whining about Pres Obama in 2009

Matt Damon recently announced his disappointment in President Barack Obama. "Everyone feels a little let down," he revealed in an interview. But not everyone in Hollywood feels the same way.

The Dish Rag hung out in the star-studded Spirit Awards Elle Green Room with Jeff Bridges, Carey Mulligan, Vera Farmiga Gabourey Sidibe, Jeremy Renner, Twilight's Rachelle Lefevre and "Sex and the City" stud Jason Lewis.

We asked "Southland" star Regina King what she thought about Obama's accomplishments as she perused the sponsors Smashbox cosmetics, White House Black Market scarves and Keds sneakers.

"In all honesty, Obama really walked into a sh*t storm," King told us exclusively. "It takes a whole lot more to clean up this drama. He walked into a trillion dollar debt and two wars going on that weren't his wars and now they're his wars."

"I don't think a year is enough time to judge the man," she adds. "I'm still totally supportive of him. I'm not one of those who jump ship."

Spirit presenter and V-Day activist Rosario Dawson expressed her views in the Independent Spirits Official Presenters lounge.

I think it's great to have someone saying, 'Hey where's all this change that we were expecting to see,' but we also need to understand that this is going to take some time. We have to be calm and understanding about that. It's just not going to be Obama. We have to inspire more leaders to step up."
