The Spoiler

Which Hollywood star hates Tottenham?


Matt Damon makes his north London loyalties clear

Matt Damon’s anti-Spurs canvases

Remember yesterday when we showed you canvases designed by Premier League stars for charity? The Willow Foundation have also asked Hollywood celebs to donate their time and artistic skills to help raise money, and Matt Damon took the opportunity to show his Pro-Arsenal/ Anti-Spurs stance. The “tottenham sucks” artwork is currently fetching £62, quite a bit more than efforts by the likes of Eduardo and Jamie Redknapp.

Fear no, Spurs fans, for The Spoiler also brings you good Matt Damon-related news. Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass once teased BBC DJ (and Tottenham fan) Simon Mayo saying he would only make another Borune film if Spurs finished in the top four. An as-yet untitled Bourne project is now scheduled for a 2010 release, which can only mean that Mr Redknapp is all set to turn the table upside down…

Bourne director Paul Greengrass has not confirmed the rumour, but the avid Spurs fan told Mark Kermode on Radio Five that he would only make another if his club finish in the top four.

While it’s a little too late this season, film fans (and people who can recite Jason Bourne’s ‘I can run flat out for half a mile before my hand starts shaking’ speech off by heart, such as myself) will be hoping that the Carling Cup win isn’t just another false dawn for the club.

UPDATE: Eagle-eyed Spoiler fan Ashley informs us that Greengrass is in fact a Palace fan, who was mocking radio host Simon Mayo for his Spurs support. Ultimatum is my favourite film ever, but as a Wimbledon fan, I think I just died a little inside.

Spoiler bonus: here’s what Matt Damon has been up to since his last appearance as the forgetful assassin:
