Matt Damon made a weird joke about kissing John Krasinski’s wife the first time they met
*Jim Halpert face*
Like every kid who was growing up in Boston when Good Will Hunting hit theaters, John Krasinski spent much of his youth idolizing Matt Damon.“For me, I graduated high school in 1997, the year that Good Will Hunting came out,” Krasinski told Conan O’Brien, also a Bostonian, on Tuesday’s Conan. “So I think every kid from then on has a Good Will Hunting poster tattooed to their back.”

So it was a it big deal for Krasinski when he got to meet Damon for the first time on the set of The Adjustment Bureau, the 2011 movie starring Damon and Emily Blunt, Krasinski’s wife.
Krasinski told O’Brien that Damon and Blunt were shooting a scene at the top of 30 Rock in New York City.
“And so I get up there, and this PA yells, ‘We’re rolling!’ And he throws me into this black tent and I get this close to the screen. And it’s just Matt and my wife kissing very deeply.”

Krasinski continued: “I thought, ‘That’s very awkward.’ So then I go out, and I’m like, ‘Hey, Emily, great seeing you blah blah blah.’ And Matt Damon came up, and he was just trying to make a joke, and instead he goes, ‘Hey, nice to meet you, I was just totally tonguing your girl.’

“And I looked at him and I went, ‘OK, man,’” Krasinski said. “And he just started to melt and he went, ‘I’m so sorry, that wasn’t funny at all. I’m so sorry.’ And to this day, he can’t get over the fact that that’s the first thing he said to me.”
