Matt Damon - Local Is Lekker!

Matt Damon seems to have taken a shine to SA and added our brightly coloured flag to the collection on his jacket. That kind of localism is lekker, but do you know what's even better? Matt Damon's Afrikaans accent, that's what!



Matt Damon plays local rugby hero, Francois Pienaar along side Morgan Freeman (who is playing Nelson Mandela) in Clint Eastwood's latest film offering called, Invictus (everyone who's anyone is simply raving about it - and did you like how many celebs I strung into one sentence. I'm good like that). The movie tells the story of Nelson Mandela's life and how the Springboks winning the 1995 Rugby World Cup 'helped heal a nation'.


I may watch rugby for all the 'wrong' reasons;) but even I was impressed by the trailer on Youtube. When you check it out you'll be blown away by Freeman's portrayal of Mandela, and you'll get to hear Damon's Afrikaans accent. You can then decide if it's believable or not...
