I filmed a documentary on clean water and sanitation in rural villages in India. Matt Damon contacted my group (about 5 students on a low budget) and said he heard about what we were doing and that he'd be in India.
Ended up spending some time with him and his brother (and Gary White) and traveling from village to village.
People didn't know who the famous person was (they knew one of us was famous though) and would come up and great all of us with equal excitement.
The whole time Matt just chatted us up about what we wanted to do with our lives, basketball, issues related to our film, etc. Seriously a great dude. I have loads of respect for him.
He also gave us a killer interview and in one of the villages, the kids had prepared a song for him...he responded later in the day by singing a song for them.
