New
Delhi,
(ANI):
Actor
Matt
Damon
has
lashed
out
at
lazy
journalists
for
propagating
a
silly
story
that
he
had
died.
According
to
Contactmusic,
the
38-year-old
star
used
the
Toronto
Film
Festival
press
conference
to
slam
the
journalists
who
reported
that
he
had
had
a
fatal
fall
off
the
cliffs
during
a
mountain
hike
in
California.
Damon
said
that
reporters
had
not
read
the
Internet
story
properly,
and
circulated
the
ridiculous
news,
reports
the
China
Daily.
Damon
said:
"My
publicist
got
all
of
these
phone
calls
from
very
reputable
sources.
I
got
forwarded
the
story,
which,
if
you
read
it,
it
just
gets
sillier
and
sillier,
and,
by
the
end,
the
guy
who's
said
to
be
my
agent
is
quoting
the
lyrics
to
The
Fresh
Prince
of
Bel-Air.
And
yet
CNN
called
and
The
Boston
Globe
called,
all
of
these
reputable
news
sources
are
checking
if
it's
true."
He
added:
"My
publicist's
like,
'Did
you
even
read
the
story?'
Misinformation
is
quicker
because
you
motherf**kers
are
lazy!
That's
how
these
things
spread
like
wildfire."
