I had to kiss Scarlett Johanssoncan you imagine how horrible it was for me? It was hell”he joked.

“She walked in and director Cameron Crowe had set up the camera and there was a close up of the kiss. She says: ‘Shit! I just literally ate an onion sandwich’“.

Damon quips: “I was laughing at her the whole time because of her onion breathwhich I didn’t even smell… because her breath smells like roses!”
