You know how in the movieRock Star Mark Wahlberg walks off the stage and says I got to (go to the bathroom) and never comes back? Damon said. I had no reason to think it, but I just knew that I wasnt going to see him again.
He later added:

Like we said, we knew Damon had an affinity for the dramatic but we didnt know that he also liked to dip his toes into the melodrama genre as well.
Or maybe hes trying to work in comedy?
Regardless, we figure once this whole baseball side gig of Damons comes to pass he still has a career as a Shakespearian actor. Imagine Damon playing the finest roles on stage.
Macbeth.
Romeo and Juliet.
Cats.
