Matt Damon - too fat for the “Sexiest Man” Title

Matt Damon estimates that he gained between 20 and 30 pounds for his upcoming thriller, The Informant, directed by Steven Soderbergh, PEOPLE informs.

"I just stopped working out and basically just ate whatever I wanted," he said. "I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, a lot of beer and basically had a great time ... When you're in your 20s you can do that kind of stuff. When you're in your 30s, its a whole different ballgame."

Damon is not the first actor to gain weight for a role, but it seems like he lost the “Sexiest Man Alive” title according to him.
