Matt Damon praised for ‘Good Will Hunting mode’ defence of teachers’ salaries in resurfaced video

A video of Matt Damon schooling a reporter on the topic of education reform has resurfaced on Twitter/X, drawing widespread praise for the actor.

Damon, who most recently starred in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as the Manhattan Project director General Leslie Groves, attended the Save Our Schools march in Washington DC in August 2011.

While there, the actor was interviewed by a reporter from Reason.TV who suggested that teachers did not have a reason to work hard due to their contracts, whereas actors were driven to improve due to the temporary nature of their employment.

“You think job insecurity is what makes me work hard?” Damon, who had a shaved head for Neill Blomkamp’s 2013 sci-fi thriller Elysium at the time, hit back.
