Matt Damon stars as a bumbling double-agent in The Informant, which hits theatres today. Sarah Taylor recently staked out a spot on the TIFF red carpet for an interview with the actor.

Finally, Matt Damon showed up to discuss the acceptability of lying with Sarah. It’s something he does a lot in the film.

“It’s definitely OK to lie,” the actor said. “And we should lie, there’s some things you have to lie about.”

“Like what, what do you lie about?” Sarah asked.

“That dress looks great on you,” Matt replied. “I mean, it’s something that every husband, you say that to your wife, no, you should always mean it, I do always mean it, always.”

Of course, Sarah was telling the truth when she complemented Matt on his appearance. The actor packed on the pounds for The Informant, and then seemed to lose them just as quickly.

“A lot of running, boxing that kind of stuff , and then no more cheeseburgers,” he said.
