By 2004, Matt Damon was already a major Hollywood star with his storied CV including the lead role in The Bourne Identity (2002), a key character in Ocean's Eleven (2001) and a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Good Will Hunting (1997), which he starred in, and co-wrote with his childhood friend Ben Affleck. So he really didn't need to make a surprise guest appearance as a punk singer in trashy 'teen sex comedy' EuroTrip. But we're glad that he did.
For those who may not be entirely au fait with the plot of EuroTrip,. one of many vaguely raunchy Noughties films aiming to get a slice of the American Pie er, pie, the narrative begins with dorky teenager Scotty Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) being dumped by his high school 'sweetheart' Fiona (Kristin Kreuk) following his graduation.
As if this were not sufficiently depressing, Scotty then attends a graduation party where he, all his classmates, and possibly every other high school senior within a five mile radius, learns that his now-ex girlfriend has been cheating on him for the past year with the lead singer of a local punk band: this he discovers because said singer, Donnie, has written a song celebrating the many sexual encounters he has been sharing with "the nastiest, freakiest, little sexpot I know", sensitively titled Scotty Doesn't Know. Cue a tattooed, pierced, tongue-waggling Matt Damon gleefully delivering lyrics such as "I can't believe he's so trusting / While I'm right behind you thrusting / Fiona's got him on the phone / And she's trying not to moan".
