Matt Damon Mistaken for Brad Pitt by 2026 World Cup Final Commentator: 'Huge Ego Boost'

That was Matt Damon getting mistaken for another Hollywood superstar, Brad Pitt, during the FIFA World Cup Final. The Odyssey star attended the big game between Spain and Argentina with his wife, Luciana, who was born in Argentina. You can't blame the Fox commentator for his hilarious mix-up. Pitt and Damon actually co-starred together in the 2001 classic, That film was so successful, the two went on to co-star in Oceans 12 and Oceans 13 as well. And Brad Pitt has attended other World Cup matches, so the announcer's mistake wasn't totally out of left field. Pitt was at the FIFA quarter-final match in Los Angeles between Spain and Belgium, where he was spotted mingling with fellow celebrities Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. Pitt was also seen at the game packing on the PDA with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. Social media is having a field day with a mix-up between Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. Users on X referenced Damon's latest summer blockbuster, The Odyssey, where he stars as the title character, Odysseus. Fans pointed out that Brad Pitt actually played Achilles in the movie Troy, but Achilles didn't make Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey because the character dies before Odysseus' journey home. As for what happened on the field, it was a tough break for the Damons. Argentina lost the World Cup Final to their rival team Spain, who took home the coveted 18-carat gold trophy. Argentina and its superstar player Lionel Messi won the World Cup four years ago. This time around, they took home silver.
